It’s common for people with insomnia to experience “inexplicable” physical symptoms at night, such as:
- Hypnic jerks (the twitches in your body that wake you up just as you fall asleep).
- Drifting in and out of light sleep without seeming to enter deeper sleep.
- A racing heart as you lie in bed and begin to feel anxious about whether or not you will sleep.
- Waking up in a state of alarm in the middle of the night.
- Increasing tension in your body as you lie in bed.
Is any of that familiar?
Have you wondered if these symptoms mean something is wrong with your body or brain?
Rest assured:
The nervous system in hyperarousal can do all of these things and more.
These symptoms of hyperarousal are brought on by sleep anxiety.
You have limited control over these symptoms when they happen, but your reaction to them determines whether they become worse or whether you reduce them over time.
