I used to be sometimes fear going to sleep, but now sleep is an escape from the hell Ive been waking up to everyday.

Yes, I've had that before. Just remember nothing is gonna happen to you in your sleep. I wish I had better advice but I know how that feels.

I have had fear of going to sleep - terrors, you know. But usually it's going to happy-land. Sleep is escape and the break. Sometimes it's the place where realness can be at least to some extent.

I like sleep more than being awake. Im peaceful when I sleep instead of stuck in the lving day limbo hell of Depersonlisation.

I get the sleep terrors though, but when I see the grim repear fuck I usually just say hello you know, How is death hanging these days, hows buisness or just laugh in his face.

I wasn't able to stop thinking long enough to fall asleep. So now I take prescribed sleeping pills some nights. But in general...Yes, sleeping can be frightening for me.

It's usually either a common symptom of anxiety, or a result of having recurrent bad dreams or nightmares.

I personally found inability to sleep much more annoying than fear of sleep; but in the case of either it's not worth worrying too much over the matter. It's another thing that will resolve as soon as your anxiety and DP do as well.

I had fear of sleep really bad the first few month of DP/DR. Even that fact that night and day was something normal scared me...

Like I was scared of going, down, but I was also afraid of it coming back up.

So that freaked me out and gave me a fear of sleep. I didn't like my dreams becuase in my dream I knew I was sick... So all that made me fear sleep...

Then after that I hated waking up... Just a circle of hell. Now I deal with it a little better....

But I know exactly how you feel and youre not alone. It really just takes time to get better. Time really heals all wounds...

The hard part is time take along time to pass.... :lol:
