Can't sleep scared going to die

[bukendaa]

Is this anxeity last night I couldn't sleep and my heart was pounding and I was scared that I was going to die from lack of sleep. How do you beat insomnia.

Meditate. I practice it most nights. Just concentrate on breathing and relaxing each set of muscles. I start with my feet and just relax, breathe, relax my legs. Just sink into your pillow, think of the soft bed. There is a lot of information on the net for different types of meditating. I also sleep with a fan on, the sound is soothing.

Stay off all technology (phone,tablet,laptop etc) the artificial lighting from the screen will trick the brain into thinking its still day light making it harder to fall asleep instead light a soothing candle and read a book. Besides if it only happened last night and for 1 night its not classed as insomnia you may just be working yourself up with anxiety which doesnt allow your mind to switch off try to relax.
