Habits

15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 123

Habits are a real hard thing to break. The rocking is a comfort thing you do to go to sleep, I have something similar, where I basically move around until I find a spot where I'm absolutely comfortable to go to bed. The only suggestion I can come up with, which I use, is to change what you do when you go to bed. Make up a plan, reading a book then turning off the light, then maybe do a quick body shake

Keep in mind, the first few nights of changing your habit will be really hard. But keep with it, and you'll find new habits for sleeping.

Let us know how it goes!

Cheers :)

in order to get to sleep at night i rock back and forth. it's really bad and i have done it ever since i was young. i do not know how to stop. it's not just an easy rock. sometimes i have to go really fast and i'll be tired after and fall asleep. i do not know what to do?

Hi EB,

I drink both on occasion. I tend to avoid coffee now, because it puts my nerves on a slight edge. I drink maybe a cup a week at most. Alcohol really doesn't do anything bad, but I have a limit to how much I can drink. Say 2 beers or 2 mixed drinks, anything more and the night is over for me.

i cannot drink alcohol because it makes me feel very panicky, thinks its the thought of not being in control of my body and many of them are very acidic which to me makes my panic attaks worse. i still do have the odd hot chocolate or cup of tea depending on how anxious i feel!

Earlbiggs,

When thinking about medication and dosage, it is best to consult your doctor and speak to them about your concerns. They will also be able to tell you the side effects of caffeine or alcohol with these medications.

Members, what has your experience been with alcohol or caffeine? How has this affected your ability to manage anxiety? Please share!
