The most typical symptoms of suffering from severe insomnia are like these:
You’re dead tired after a long, strenuous day. You crawl into bed craving to enjoy some deep restful sleep… But instead of falling into a blissful oblivion and waking up refreshed in the morning, you lie in bed, wide-awake…
Hour upon hour. Unable to shut off… Unable to get any rest…
With your mind locked into a looping thought — racing a mile a minute — repeating the same unpleasant conversation you had with someone earlier. Over and over again….
Or worrying about a scary event that may happen to you in the future. And no matter how you try you cannot get yourself out of this vicious circle of obnoxious thoughts.
So you toss and turn until the sunrise. And then the day starts, and the alarm rings, and you get out of bed feeling worn-out. And you go about your business, feeling like a living zombie all day long, exhausted and tired.
By the time you make it back to bed the next night, you’d do anything for a good night’s sleep. You close your eyes, longing to get some rest without your mind racing in a cruel circle of creepy thoughts… only to experience the same horror again: You just lay there, dead tired, yet still unable to rest your mind and fall into a deep refreshing sleep.
And the next morning comes and you spend another robotic day in a total stupor. Weary body, aching eyes, and your mind in a complete fog. You feeling like you’re barely holding it together.
By the third night you become anxious going to bed. You’re becoming almost afraid you won’t be able to fall asleep again…
So, what causes you such trouble falling asleep?
