Hi,
Since a few months, i´m having a lot of sleeping troubles.
I don´t know if it´s related but suffer from general anxiety disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks. However, sleeping was never affected by that.
It used to be the best part of the day, when i finally could rest my mind.
Now, i´m having trouble to fall asleep and wake a lot of times during the night (sometimes only 2 or 3h after) without falling asleep again for a while. As if not enough i have very vivid dreams and the most of them nighmares.
On the next day i wake tired with the feeling i haven´t rested. Even if i wake up for myself and not with the alarm. Theres some nights i only sleep 5 hours, wake up and can´t sleep more. Other nights, i fall asleep again after a while and sleep during the morning which messes even more with my sleep cycles.
I´m really confused because from what i know, the nightmares/vivid dreams occur during the REM sleep, but it seems i can´t get deep sleep like i should.
I don´t know if it´s important to say, but the way i fall asleep better is watching tv series and/movies on computer. I know it isn´t recommended but if i won´t watch anything i turn and turn on the bed and nothing..
I´d like to know your opinion and if theres any supplement i could try to improve my sleep. I´ve tried some in the past and almost of them induce me vivid dreams/nightmares and those i already have. On the beginning can be funny but not after a while. I woke up even more anxious.
So, do you know of any sleep aid supplement that could help me to have a deeper sleep and could eliminate the nightmares? I think this seems a non sense question but i really like to hear your opinion.
Thanks
