early mornings?

[fiona1]

Does anyone else wake up really early in the mornings and cant get back to sleep?I wake up at about 4am with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and lay there sweating & worrying bout anything and everything.
Some days I feel as though I ahve this anxiety cracked then it all falls apart.

tell me i'm not the only one

[mackncody]

Yes, I do that too. Or I do as I am right now, still up at 2:00am even though I took my sleeping pill 4 hours. If I having problems getting to sleep the magic number is usually 2am and if I'm already asleep its 3-4am that I usually get back up at. And then there are the nights when I don't sleep at all due to PA's.

Think happy thoughts.....cheers.

If nothing else...I will survive.

I wake up round about than too! The worst thing is it takes me ages to get back off and then I am usually in a really deep sleep at 6.30 when the alarm scares the hell out of me. I then spend the day witha muzzy head and feeling really awful. What's so special about 4 am I wonder? I think my bladder is often to blame. I would love a night without having to get out to the loo!!
take care, just think of all the rest of us lying there staring at the ceiling like you and you won't feel so alone.

You are certainly not the only one, Fiona.

But we all have variations on this theme. Cannot remember I last went to sleep at say 12, and slept through until 8.

Of course, worrying about it just makes it worse..

Hi Fiona, You are 100% not alone with this. It is something a lot of people with anxiety and panic experience.

The night before, you can be convinced that you are over the worst and ready to face a new day with zest - and then you wake the following morning feeling like all that positivity is lost.

I find it helps to get straight out of bed as soon as I am awake. That way, I don't do the whole 'thinking about the day ahead' thing.

This is not easy to do in the least as the temptation is to stay in bed, not moving to wait for the feelings to settle down. They won't, until you do something that distracts you away from your negative thinking.

Hope you are realise you have the strength to overcome this.
