Is it normal to be afraid of bed time?

When I get back from work everything is normal. But when it's time to go to my room and prepare to sleep. I get this feeling, that I don't want to sleep and start to do anything just to keep me awake although i'm so sleepy and super tired. Is this feeling normal?

Is It Normal?

  • Me too! I fight sleep and bed time scares me a little. Having my husband there helps though.

  • I used to be the same way. When I was younger, I would hate bedtime because for some reason I would feel sick before bed every night, and throw up sometimes. I now know that it's because I would have a glass of milk before bed, and I'm lactose intolerant. Maybe you have something similar, a habit or an old memory that you associate with going to bed?

  • Sounds like an ADD symptom. Sleep is not exactly stimulating. I have ADD and don't like to settle in like other people.

  • Are you afraid of the dark, try covering your head with a blanket but don't cover your face.

  • Going to bed, even after a long day is something I Do Not look forward to. This is usually when memories from the day begin to play back in my head or worse, I get anxious about something that I have to do...dread and then greater anxiety, sometimes resulting in a panic attack!! Talk about "sleep aversion". What I do now is watch a little television (something mindless) & then read. It works most of the time.

  • Nightime was when my parents would wake me up with their screaming arguments. I learned to fear night. Sometimes I don't want to go to sleep b/c it's the last time i have free time before waking up and going to work. I hate to give up the leisure.

  • If bad dreams aren't involved, I don't see any reason for you to not want to sleep. Maybe you're afraid that you'll be wasting time by sleeping...
