Are You Having Trouble Sleeping/relaxing?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

It seems it’s becoming harder and harder to relax so that I can fall asleep. I can’t ease my mind, No matter how tired I am I still just lay there for long periods of time. After a while my anxiety starts then makes it worse.

My counselor said to take short walks before I go to sleep to relax me,and to write down things when they come to mind so I don't think about them at night, plus taking less naps in the day. All those things helped me to sleep better at night

My family doctor prescribed me effexor xr which helps with my anxiety so I'm able to sleep all night.

I am always up early in the morning seems like I been like that for years now, but I think that I'd rather be a morning person than a night person. I just try to keep a schedule and do my certain things like taking care of myself, reading my Bible, writing in my journal, going for a walk,and checking the messages on my phone, eating breakfast, and things like that. Just make a schedule to fit your day that you will be happy with

I find that if I keep busy I will sleep better, I know sometimes I need to nap but I better off to fulfill my days with things to keep my body alive and active
