Do you fear sleep?

[UltraNEO*]

I've been suffering from sleep disorders likely, a mix of sleep paralysis and night terrors, they're utterly terrifying and it's resulted in me being sleep deprived, I've been trying to get sleep for the last hour or so but every time I try i slip straight into paralysis while staying conscious and start to get epicly terrified, I only just managed to pull myself out of this.

Now I don't dare attempt sleep again tonight, it's too horrific but I don't know what to do, I'll get am emergency appointment with my doctor tomorrow but she's useless so I doubt she'll do anything to help.

Ah.. Needn't feel alone mate.

A few years ago I had a rough time trying to sleep, every night for a long time, I had this recurring nightmare, I remember lying down and having this odd feeling of been physically attached to the bed, paralysed and unable to move or incapacitated? It was a horrid feeling, couldn't even lift my arm to push away the bed.

For a long while I just avoided sleeping in bed, kinda found myself falling asleep on the couch, at work and on the train. Eventually through shear fatigue, I ended up in hospital... I dunno what happened or how i got there! It's just odd. Now, sleeping still isn't easy, however, since leaving England and moving into new surroundings I don't seem to have the same problems, it seemed to have vanished for the time being.

I hope you can find a solution.

I took some more and it didn't work, I drifted off but straight into paralysis.

Sorry to hear that. Wore off pretty quick. There's an underlying issue that needs to be dealt with. I'd say find another Doctor. Mine is doing the same, tossing pills at me and just guessing without really helping. Keep us updated.

The drug I was prescribed is out of my system now, I got a nice nights sleep last night.

I talked to my family and it turns out my sister had the same issues I did when she was on the pill so it all makes sense

I could admit to 'fearing' sleep. For me, it's the thoughts that drift across a restless mind at night, that don't occur during the day because my mind is pre-occupied. Hence why I'm still awake at 5:30 a.m. and it's nothing out of the ordinary for me. been like this since high school, years now..
