I think my brain is addicted to the loop of Anxiety and insomnia relationship

Post Content

Here’s the pattern and tell me if this is just me: I can’t sleep because I’m anxious, then I get anxious because I’m not sleeping, then I monitor how tired I am which makes it worse. The whole Anxiety and insomnia - relationship feels less like cause and effect and more like two people feeding each other. And the frustrating part is once I have one bad night, I start predicting the next one. It’s like I’m rehearsing failure before bed. The nights I randomly sleep fine almost feel suspicious. Has anyone actually broken that anticipatory part? Not “meditate more,” I mean the pre-sleep dread specifically.
