Hi everyone. I'm new to this site, but I thought it would help me not feel so alone or crazy. Does anyone else get really anxious thinking about going to bed? After about 7:00 I start getting chest pains (which make me start panicking) from anxiety because I know I'll have to go to bed, then wake up and it's morning all of a sudden. I know that sounds a bit....crazy...but I can't help it. Sometimes I stay awake all night just so I can keep track of the time, so that I'm not unprepared when morning comes. I'm currently in graduate school, so I have a LOT of papers and presentations that need to get done, and not getting any sleep really sets me back (and makes me more anxious!) I know it's not good for me to sleep so seldom, but I just can't push a button and turn my mind off. I also don't want to have to take my anxiety medication unless I'm having a full blown panic attack, so using it every night before bed isn't really an option for me. I guess I'm just not sure what to do.
