Phillipa, I can honestly say that even with all my other weird problems sleep is the one thing I haven't problems with. I though use sleep to escape. Weird huh. I have this weird zone out thing, anxiety out the zing zang, and yet I can lay down and usually be asleep in 5 maybe 10 minutes top. Like now, I could go asleep with 5 minutes of laying down and I would sleep for 9 hours left alone. I do take magnesium and b-12 which are suppose to help with calming the central nervous system. I think they must. Now awake I am not calm. But I can sleep. I guess we are all different and we handle anxiety different and depression.
This weekend I gave myself permission and slept until 10. That is rare as I think I must get up early and get busy. So yes there are some of us that are messed up and sleep. But then all though my messed up childhood I used sleep to escape so maybe I still see it as salvation. Who knows I dont. I wish I could impart this on you as a gift. So a good night sleep doesn't help with anixety though that I do know and I don't feel any better in the morning and I am still tired after 9 hours. Go figure.
