What is it that keep you up at night!?
What races through your head some nights that won't allow you a moment to close your eyes and sleep!. I have a terrible phobia of zombies!. I lay in bed at night planning what I'm going to do if there is a zombie attack that night!. It's very silly but I can't even watch movies like Shaun of the dead w/o getting nightmares!. Even taking a shower I'm terrified that i'm going to open the door and find one there!. And then what!. That's what keeps me up at night!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ah, I know exactly how your anxiety feels, except my anxiety right now is intestinal worms crawling up and out through the mouth or nostrils while humans sleep at night!.!.!.!.!.I recently asked a question on YA about tapeworms because I was curious to see if the statement is true!. Now I am too creeped out that I can't push the image out of my mind (the link showed an image of other round worms)!. So yeah, it's not something that you can easily "push out of your mind" just like that!.

Death and life!. I see loved ones die before my eyes in my sleep!. I think about whether I have done eough good in my life to go to heaven in case I die in my sleep!.

Thats about it!. Coping with it is not that hard!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No thought in particular keeps me up!. There are some nights where I just lay there watch the minutes tick by on the clock!. It feels like every thought I've ever had, passes though my mind, and I cannot rest!.

Thankfully, it doesn't happen more than a few times per year!.

The freedom sometimes!.!.!. sometimes its 2:32a!.m!. here the peacefulness of being up while the rest of the horrid people are sleeping I can be 'alone' in thought but filled with the pleasure knowing that the 'terrorizers' of my morning are conked out!.!.!.

sometimes I'm kept up from sensing the 'wakefulness' of others as they are also 'awake' as myself!.!.!.!. (I'm an empath) and their thoughts and feeling are keeping me up and I am 'joined' with them in that WE are both up and enjoying our 'alone' time!.!.!. and the excitement of knowing that there is another person somewhere whom is sensing me as I sense them!.!.!. like now!.!.!. I simply can not go to sleep in that the excitement of knowing there is another one or several others such as myself also pacing 'alone' and also sensing me!.!.!. it's like if you have seen Mel Gibsons the Passion of Christ!.!.!. the scene in Which Mary and Jesus 'sense' each other through the bricks of the cell that seperates them!.!.!.!. I sense them and they sense me!.!.!. and it is too 'exciting' to go to sleep because I am feeling them inside my senses and vice versa!.!.!.!. and sometimes seeing what they see and feel what they are feeling!.!.!. its a total high!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depression cycle!.

I waste most of my day doing nothing!.!.!. so I stay up to make up for lost / wasted time!. But it causes me sleep deprivation!.!.!. which causes me to get up late!.!.!.!. thereby missing more of my next day!. Then its too late to do anything!.!.!. so I sit around and waste that day too!.

Tweaking my sleep routine either causes sleep deprivation or it causes excessive sleep!. Either way, I am left feeling drained and disappointed with myself!. I then become depressed!.

As a consequence, Im a lonely, depressed, un-lived, coffee addict!.!.!.!. who is constantly fatigued!.!.!. lacking the motivation or decent scheduling to do anything with his life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
