Panic attacks at night

Hi, panic attacks are quite common for a lot of us, to be honest I get attacks at anytime, the night does give us too much thinking time, it’s the time when we think about our own mortality and that of our loved ones. I’ve started using audio books, they don’t wake my wife up and stop me from thinking too much. I’ve found a bath before bed with cbd oil and then sleepy tea a great help. I do take Nytol 50mg but obviously I don’t recommend them.

Thank you for your reply and the advice.

I’ll definitely try audiobooks- I tend to watch videos on my phone or read books on my kindle but they make it harder to sleep.

Hi, I find trying to read too hard, to my shame I have only read two books in my entire life. My brain won’t let me concentrate as other thoughts are going through my head constantly, I just end up reading  the same paragraph about four times.

I find the audiobooks along  with sound cancelling earphones really helpful. If you fall asleep, you can just go back a chapter. There no other stimulation coming in at the same time and I find the narrator blocks out my own thoughts. I’m half way through a book called Drama Queen by Sara Gibbs, she was diagnosed at 30 years old, she is very funny and sometimes sad as well.

Thank you for the recommendation- I’ll have to give it a read
