insomnia?

[Agent]

I have been having some serious problems sleeping lately. I usually sleep okay for the first couple of hours but then am beset by all kinds of negative, condeming thoughts and I sleep sporadically and lightly for the rest of the evening.

Last night, I kept repeating, “there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus” to myself.

Does anyone else out there have very negative thoughts early in the morning?

I have prescription for sleep meds but prefer not to take them. . .

A few tricks I learnt are a glass of warm milk before bed like when we were babies, no coffee for a good while before bed, and you should get spiritual direction about these thoughts. Perhaps seek counselling too.

Good luck and God bless.

I have been troubled with insomnia for years… off and on. I find it extremely helpful and comforting… to keep a Rosary on my nightstand.

I have often used that time… where I can’t sleep… to say an extra Rosary. I find that it relaxes me, to pray the Rosary in the dark… while being safe and warm in my own bed; and very often, right after I’ve finished my Rosary… I can drift off to sleep.

You might wanna give it a try. God bless.
