I heard a scary news story and now I'm scared to sleep?

Question

I heard about that crazy/creepy bus story in Canada and now I'm scared to sleep. I don't usually get affected by these kinds of things but I already couldn't go to sleep two nights ago after watching "American Psycho".

Do you have tips on distracting my mind?

Answer 1

Read, watch TV or listen to music before bed. Dont let it get you down, I am Canadian and we are horrified but life goes on regardless of this terrible incident.

After Sept 11 I lost sleep for several nights. Just have to resolve that all the terrible things and sorrow out there will not ruin you, too. I can remember wondering how the world would go on with this vast, deep hurt everywhere on TV and in the papers. And, it did.

Answer 2

Are you talking about "American Psycho" with Christian Bale. How can you be scared from that movie, it was hilarious, I love that movie.

Answer 3

Watch funny vids on the internet and think about being someone cool in the future, your mind will be taken off of that.

Answer 4

Watch the Wedding Singer, it's funny, and it will get you a little distracted.

Answer 5

I know which story you're talking about. But know that that person is behind bars. There are a lot of scary things out there, but there are many wonderful things too! Focus on those. Tranquil scenes of nature ae good distractions~ help set your mind at ease. Don't worry so much about all that negative stuff. Get into something beautiful and relaxing.
