Sub conscious and sleep

[Phil10]

I have noticed myself lying awake more at night and being half asleep and my mind plays out stuff and often it’s lies or misunderstanding about the virus and testing or it can be dreams which seems more like reality. Does anybody else get this? When I wake it feels like another level of my mind in action?

 

[Bobnnat]

Me too. It’s the saturation of news about the virus along with the fear.

Not abnormal at all, even for someone without an anxiety disorder. There's nothing wrong with thinking about things, especially if it means being as prepared as you can be, within reason. It's only normal that you're thinking about these things and doing what you can to ensure you stay healthy and away from danger.

Two nights ago, I woke up about 3 am. I started to think about things and couldn't get back to sleep because of it. I only got about six hours of sleep, and I was sleepy most of the day yesterday because of it.
