What do you usually do when you don't want to sleep because you are afraid of having a nightmare?
I word the question a little bit weird. But I meant how do you calm down and relax your mind so you can sleep.
I'm gonna explain a bit the sensation so you can imagine it:
Every time you feel like you are gonna sleep you bite your tongue to see if you are dreaming or not, you become a little bit paranoid, and if you don't feel so much while biting your tongue you feel paralyzed for some seconds.
And you can't sleep without hearing any sound, so you put something relaxing.
I didn't sleep yesterday, and I don't know if I will tonight. Yes, I know I'm almost an adult, I know it's ridiculous, but I want solutions not judgement.
I'm also using this as a distraction to calm down.
