Posted by joe80 on February 08, 2008 at 14:10:36:My insomnia I think is being caused by my anxiety over noise. My flatmate has people over for dinner and even though it is all over by 10.30 at the latest, we all watch the TV and I go to bed about 10pm and try and relax for 1/2 hour using a relaxation tape but I seem to be unable to tune out of the noise of their conversation in the background. I have earplugs and I cannot hear them or the TV but in my brain I kow that they are talking and the TV is on. Even after all the lights are out and we are all in bed - and it is a quiet unit. I cannot fall asleep these days I lay awake and think that I can hear noise - any noise. I know this sounds weird but does anyone have any suggestions? This has only happened recently I did have a string of a decent sleeping but this was when my flatmate went out every night for a week. I don't really want to move because I think this will again increase my stress level and again feed into my insomnia. Anyone else have these issues or is it just me?
