Haven’t Been Able To Sleep Because of Stress and Anxiety. It’s Been Four Nights Already, What Do I Do?
ByThere are situations (financial, health, etc) going on at home that I can’t help with. All because I live in a different country and I can’t go home to help because there isn’t enough money to fly me. I’m so worried, and I really want to go home and because of that, I haven’t slept in four days. I have insomnia until 4-5am, finally go to sleep, but wake up a few hours later.
I’m scared and I’m incredibly worried, and because there is nothing I can do, I feel useless. I’ve been noticing that my heart is beating harder too, which I think is because of the lack of sleep. I am exhausted, but everytime I close my eyes, the problems seem to intensify and I go in circles.
I need help, what can I do about this insomnia?
Melatonin is a chemical in your brain that is naturally released in your sleep. When you are under a lot of stress, or not eating right the chemical doesn’t release as much or as often as it should….I started taking a 3 Milligram Melatonin when I was having sleep problems. Its something your body all ready has, so you cant become addicted. It does help you sleep, and can be bought at any drug or grocery store.

You can pray about your life. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end — time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can’t explain the world’s natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner’s prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus’ name, amen." I’m Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God’s will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
