How to Manage Hyperarousal Symptoms at Night
Manage episode 455460903 series 3519709
During insomnia, you might feel strange body sensations at night.
For example, you might:
• Feel a sudden jerk in your body just as you fall asleep (like a little twitch that wakes you up).
• Drift in and out of a very light sleep and never seem to get into a deep, restful sleep.
• Notice your heart beating fast when you lie in bed, worried you won’t fall asleep.
• Wake up in the middle of the night feeling tense or alarmed.
• Feel your muscles getting tighter and tighter as you lie in bed.
Do any of these sound familiar?
If so, you might have wondered if something is wrong with your body or brain.
The good news is that you’re not broken.
