I can't sleep, could you help??

Question

I haven't slept well for a LONG time!! I'm kinda scared of the dark, it's not the dark itself that scares me, it's bugs, mice etc, etc that worry me. Even though I have only had a woodlouse in my room once because of my wooden flooring, and that's about it. I also have very sensitive hearing, the slightest sounds have me stock still. listening for any sounds of movement, voices ... which might suggest that there are burglars in our house (we've been burgled three times as far as I can remember). It's weird because I always wake up at 3 am, the time sorta haunts me, I feel scared in the dqrk untill about 4:30 - am I just crazy or do I just have an esalated fear??

Answer 1

i dont like the noises i hear in the night either so i listen to music... but lots of people cant get  to sleep with music on...can you sleep with the light on? sorry this isnt very helpful... good luck :) x*x

Answer 2

get a cat?  they kill bugs and mice..

Answer 3

Could you sleep with a nightlight on? Also, I can't sleep at all without a fan running because the noise of it is soothing. Before you go to bed at night, make sure the doors are all locked and maybe you should have some security lights outside to discourage burglars. A cat will take care of the mice. Maybe you should own a cat because just knowing it is there will help you not worry so much about the mice. I hope you find a way to get a restful sleep because sleep is so important. Talk to your doctor if this problem persists. I am sorry you feel afraid. Best wishes to you.

Answer 4

haha i have the same problem i run a tv on really low for exrta light and it kind blocks out sounds it works for me just as long as you can sleep with a tv on

Answer 5

yeah I have been watching too many scary films ok so try having a bath before you go to bed And listen to music ^^^

and try and relax its easy to say but if not another alternative not the best think about going doctors to get sleeping pills sleep with a dim light on too or one outside your room Goodluck
