OT: Had a weird night

[Bootleg11]

Anybody ever experienced this?

I went to bed about 10:30 last night. At 2:15 I woke up with so much adrenaline I couldn’t even lay in bed and try to get back to sleep. Ended up going down stairs and watching tv for 2 hours to try and calm down. Went back to bed but never felt like I went completely back to sleep.

It was the strangest feeling. Even scared me a little. It felt like my heart was racing, I took my pulse at like 230 AM and it was about 65 then at 3:30 it was racing a little up to 75 bpm. At one point I wondered if it was a heart attack, a panic attack or if I was just overreacting.

I’ve always had low blood pressure and my resting heart rate right now as I sit at my desk is 60 bpm which is pretty normal for me.

Either way, miserable day ahead for me and hopefully tonight is better.

Have a friend this happens to quite a bit. It turned out to be a stress/anxiety thing but I know his doctor did some tests to make sure there wasn’t issues with his adrenal gland and some other stuff. His is brought on by alcohol too

RIP opee

I did drink last night at the super bowl party I was at

The thought crossed my mind last night of "do I need to go to the hospital?"

Probably just anxiety/stress. Then you think you're dying of a heart attack and it makes it worse.

Sounds like a panic attack to me but I’m decidedly not a doctor. Any stress/worrying beyond the ordinary for you?

I woke up at 3am because my 2.5y/o was yelling "daddy, come up here!" It's his new favorite thing every morning about that time now. I love it.

Yeah I am stressed right now, probably more than I’ve been in a long time. Not a very stressful, dramatic person but have some stuff going on right now. Probably a factor.

My 2.5 year old now won’t go to sleep unless I lay next to him. I’ll usually fall asleep and sneak out later. So whenever he wakes up and realizes I’m gone he will yell the same thing

Yep, same thing. Refuses to go to sleep on his own so the wife and I alternate nights laying by him until he falls asleep and we sneak out. Then he wakes up alone and freaks TF out.
We just lay the one year old in the crib awake and say “see you at 7am” and he rarely makes a peep. Thank god.

Same, but he’s 9 months

Yeah it happens to me every week or two, a stressor or anxiety induced. Usually over something so minuscule, but causes anxiety/full awake around 3 am and sometimes to the point of a full blown panic attack. Had a small one which kept me up for over an hour last night. Son has a football camp tonight and I didn't know where his football cleats and gloves were. Toss and turned thinking I put them in my coaching bag, maybe wife put them in storage, maybe they're thrown in our garage somewhere. Fucking walk out to the garage this morning and they're two steps from the door -- where he left them all of last fall.

I have some job stress that is hard to leave behind when I go to bed

Same here. It's a trigger from mine too from time to time. I'll have an idea or a fix to an issue that can literally wait a few hours. Luckily I can walk 10 feet out to the computer, do the work and be back in bed within 30-45 minutes.

I had this same problem before. Had to leave the tv on all through the night so my mind had something else to listen to. Horrible and thank god it has passed.

Mine is more...Like...I want a new job..a new direction. And what is that direction. But ya last night scared me. I am a pretty sound sleeper.

 

[SyfromSD]

Yeah, that's no fun.

I forgot the name of the syndrome, but I read something about a "Sunday Night" anxiety related to all the crap you have to figure out Monday am.

 

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

THC should fix it.

Have a joint rolled and ready and you can fix it in about 5 minutes and wake up feeling like a million bucks.
