i just want to sleep!

[R.Barratt]

for the past two days since my grandads cancer has worsened i havent been able to sleep. because when i do i have horrific panick attacks where i have hallucinations and i feel like i cant breath like theres no air to breath in.
this has made my anxiety worse because i am anxious to sleep but when i dont sleep my anxiety is worse because im more paranoid and restless. so i cant win.
i think its because i am on edge constantly waiting for a call to tell me to go to grandad immeiantly because hes got worse.
i just wish i could sleep more peacefully. any advice guys? xxx:blush:

Hey sorry to hear about your grandad... As far as sleep is concerned only go to sleep when you are absolutely tired. If you go to bed when you arnt tired it will take a while to drop off and your mind will wander. Instead put the tv on but don't watch anything that requires watching untill the end. Or read a book until you feel yourself nodding off. hopefully you will soon be away zzzzzzzz
