Every now and then I get major anxiety and night and little sleep. Last night was one of those nights. I think I drifted off around 4am, and up at 6:30. I actually had a really deep sleep for that time, but tried everything I've read about to calm down (Had a bleary eyed search on here)
Things that did nothing:
Kava kava drops (On a normal night these are normally pretty effective!)
California poppy extract (Ditto)
Aspirin (Clutching at straws?)
Bag breathing (I felt different, but did not sleep)
Chamomile and honey tea
The last thing I did, was have 4 teaspoons(!) of brown sugar. I read it on here somewhere and expected it to make me more energetic if nothing else, and as I'd already had honey was not expecting it to do anything.
I don't tolerate dairy that well so no warm milky drinks for me sadly.
Just wondered if anyone knew why sugar seemed to do something (I usually have it in coffee now) and if there is anything else I can try.
By the time it gets to that stage meditation or hypnosis is useless as my body/mind is in full overdrive.
Thank you for any ideas
