Do you worry about not being able to sleep? Maybe you worry about not falling asleep, or perhaps you are anxious about waking up frequently during the night. Others may suffer from somniphobia, a fear of sleep. They try to avoid sleep because they need to stay watchful and alert, worrying that something terrible might happen while they slumber.
Sleep anxiety is an increasingly common problem that often goes hand in hand with other mental health issues, such as anxiety. People with anxiety disorders may find it difficult to drop off or remain asleep. And if you have sleep anxiety, you may feel more anxious at bedtime because you fear not getting enough rest. It's an eternal cycle in which each condition makes the other worse.
Luckily, several measures can safely help people with sleep anxiety. For example, Bach Flower Mix 87 can help you feel calmer, confident and less anxious, so you sleep better and enjoy a better night's rest.
Sleep anxiety can affect people of any age, from children to teens and adults. Those with conditions such as sleep apnoea, sleepwalking and insomnia are more at risk of developing anxiety at night. Mental health disorders including bipolar disorder, depression, drug addiction and PTSD may also be accompanied by sleep anxiety.
Anxiety is the most prevalent mental health issue, with around 40 million people in the US affected. And many of those suffering from anxiety will also experience disrupted sleep.
Stress and anxiety are natural - we have evolved to feel worried when facing a dangerous situation. Anxiety triggers the stress hormones that can help us escape from harm. But with chronic anxiety, you feel afraid and stressed all the time, and you may even feel fearful of day to day things like falling asleep.
High levels of stress hormones make it hard to fall asleep. And when you finally drop off, you are more likely to wake up after a few hours and be unable to fall back to sleep. Anxiety can also affect REM sleep( the cycle of sleep when you dream), and your sweet dreams may turn into nightmares!
Sleep anxiety can lead to a range of symptoms, including poor concentration, irritability, nervousness, a raised heart rate, sweating and panic attacks. Nocturnal panic attacks happen only during the night, disrupting your sleep.
There are several ways to treat sleep anxiety, including:
Sleep hygiene or sleep habits are the nightly routines that affect sleep. Try keeping a sleep diary to identify factors that might be causing your sleep anxiety. Practical tips for better sleep include:
CBT is a talking therapy that can help you avoid environmental factors and behaviours that trigger your sleep anxiety. For example, you may learn to avoid negative thoughts about sleep, and your therapist might suggest meditation, yoga or breathing exercises to help you relax.
If your sleep anxiety is caused by insomnia or restless legs syndrome, your doctor may suggest medication to relieve the symptoms. But be aware that some medications may make sleeping more difficult. And be careful with over the counter medication as some can be habit-forming.
Eating healthily, exercising regularly, developing good sleep habits, and taking any medications for anxiety prescribed by your physician, will all help prevent sleep anxiety from becoming a problem.
Sleep anxiety can usually be managed effectively with the correct treatments. But some treatments, such as CBT, can take several weeks to show results, so don't be impatient or give up too soon.
Poor sleep or chronic anxiety affects the body in ways that may surprise you. Sleep anxiety can affect your physical health, placing you at increased risk of severe conditions such as diabetes, cardiac disease, high blood pressure and stroke.
Sleep anxiety may affect every facet of your life, from your relationships to your performance at school or work. Many people find it helpful to talk about their poor sleep and sleep anxiety with a support group who have had similar experiences or with family, friends and therapists.
Although being afraid of being unable to sleep can significantly impact your life, this common type of anxiety is very treatable. Our tips will help you get a restful night and awake refreshed and ready to face the day.

Find out if you're suffering from imposter syndrome
Do you sometimes feel your achievements are not the result of your hard work and skill but are just luck? And do you fear that one day, someone will reveal you as an imposter or fraud? You might have imposter syndrome!
Why a life without stress and obstacles is unrewarding
Stress can be both good and bad; it’s up to you how you look at it. But too much stress can be dangerous. Read more about stress in this article!
Signs of depression under the radar
It is not always obvious when someone is experiencing depression. Some people with depression mask their symptoms, hiding their feelings behind a smile to convince others they are happy.
Are things moving too fast for you?
If you're worried that the world is changing too fast, you're not alone: technology is constantly developing, and it can be challenging to keep up with all the changes. As a result, many people - not just the older generations - feel anxious that they might get left behind.
It's natural to compare our own lives with those of others - weighing up the pros and cons of situations helps us make decisions. But there can be a downside when you find you're constantly comparing yourself with others, envying their seemingly perfect lives and wondering why they are luckier, more prosperous, and better looking than you.
Are you resilient enough? Take our quiz!
Do you have enough resilience to face the world out there? Take our quiz to find out how resilient you are and find tips on how to build your mental resilience.
You see the word "toxic" everywhere these days, but what does it really mean? You've almost certainly come across someone who fits the description. Dealing with difficult personalities can be challenging and emotionally exhausting, to say the least.
Do you expect too much from others? Find out!
Most people are disappointed when others don't meet their expectations. But when you always expect too much, it isn't healthy, either for yourself or for others. If you often find yourself feeling let down by your loved ones or even by strangers, could it be that you have unrealistic ideas of how people should act?
Do you sometimes despair about humanity because it seems there are far more bad people than good? Are we primarily selfish individuals, thinking only about our own needs? Or is this cynical belief just because we spend so much time online? The truth is more complicated!
5 Signs of narcissistic perversion
Narcissism is a term we often see these days. But what does it mean? It's used to describe a person who is full of themselves or overly vain. However, it's not really about self-love.
