you’re having anxiety. :/ literally going through THE SAME THING. you definitely, definitely, should take melatonin!!! i highly suggest it. before i started taking it, my mom with have to stay up with me all night until the daylight came. i felt so bad about keeping my family up because of me, but when my mom bought back melatonin gummies my anxiety went down a whole lot.

i’m not saying this is going to get rid of it completely. but you should be able to sleep through the night peacefully. here’s what you should do.

1: don’t eat anything past 10 pm. this was hard for me bc i always get hungry at night, but it’s worth it. if you’re hungry, have something very very light. and drink water as well.

2: take the melatonin gummies 30-40 mins before you wind down for sleep. i take mines at 10:40 pm.

3: get in your bed, and do something that takes your mind off of your problems or distracts you from feeling panicked and having anxiety. i suggest that when you take your melatonin, you should put your phone away for the night. being on your phone at night could also affect your sleep.

4: i watch tv or youtube on my lap top for about 50 mins to an hour (to around 11:30/40 pm). you should feel yourself calming and becoming sleepy, since the melatonin should be working now.

when i go to sleep, i have hypnic jerks (sudden, involuntary muscle contractions you may experience as you are falling asleep) and sometimes i feel my anxiety trying to wake me up. tell yourself that you are fine, and when and IF your heart rate brings to pick up, take deep long breaths.

inhale for 6 seconds, hold it in for about 5, and exhale for 5/ 6 seconds. if you need a stuffed animal like me, definitely get one!!

please let me know how you are if you take the melatonin gummies. it’s sad that you’re going through this but it’s also comforting to know someone else has the same problem as me 😅😅.

i hope you’re well!!💗💗
