Yet again, I can't sleep.. What is this?

[Thorilicious]

I just can't relax enough to sleep, but it's more than that. I get this feeling, almost like a creepy crawly feeling in my back and the back of my head.
I have to walk around for it to go, and hope I fall asleep before it comes back.
Any ideas what it is, I could handle the being awake, but the feeling us horrible and uncomfortable
...

Have you got a lot on your mind at the moment?

No more than usual, although I do have anxiety. Anxiety isn't too bad at the moment.

Would it settle you to have a milky drink then try to sleep?

It does sound like anxiety. Sometimes I find everything a bit too still at night though so it takes ages to drop off.

Interested to see replies as DH is suffering with the same.

I’ve been having some success listening to podcasts like Nothing Much Happens and Get Sleepy

I don’t get a creepy crawly feeling but I often have both a kind of panicked feeling that comes from nowhere as soon as I close my eyes to sleep and I notice and fixate on my tinnitus more so distraction is good

@Callybrid yeah I sometimes watch a short youtube clip to break the silence, can make you feel sleepy

I'm awake as there are road resurfacing works going on through the night 😩

Try Magnesium capsules before bedtime. It has helped.me with the prickly sensation. I get it in my legs though.

Oh yikes @Bluewavescrashing!

Thank you all, I'll check out the magnesium @summer776.
I did manage to drop off, but only managed a couple of hours.
Hope you got some sleep @Bluewavescrashing
