Help with sleep problems?
Question:
Answers:
I have been trying an alternative therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique and it has really worked for me and helped me a lot. Since using it I have been feeling a lot better. It's very good at getting rid of all kinds of negative emotions and dealing with all kinds of issues quickly. It does sound bizarre but does work. Might be something that can help you. These are some links about it. If you type sleeping, anxieties and Obsessive Compulisive Disorder etc in the search engine of emofree.com you should find some articles about EFT being used on them.
Go and get a baby monitor for each child and set it up! This way you can stay in bed and try and get some sleep.
Oh by the way, you are perfectly NORMAL! I was constantly listening for my son and never got any sleep either. It gets easier as they get older. You are a wonderful dad to care so much about your babies. Get that monitor and get some sleep!
Try talking to a counsellor. You can do this without going to your GP. Sounds like it is something in your past that has set this off? You sound like you feel as though you have to protect everyone? (I`m the same) Try and think back to see if you can think of anything that may of triggered it. If you cannot think of anything i know a counsellor will as they are a neutral party with a broader mind of understanding. Really hope you manage to change your worries.
i think you should do the same as we do to a child that wont sleep and calls out,you know they are safe everytime you have checked they are.So just don't allow yourself to leave your bedroom for theirs.Even if you dont sleep donot allow yourself to go.After a few days of all being well no disasters and lack of sleep for you you should find yourself sleeping like one of your babies xx
move their bed in your room and have them sleep there until you can handle not checking them every minute...plus it could be a very bad thing especially when your children grow up they might be very clingy to people since you were to them. but i might be wrong.
You haven't mentioned how old they are...
You should talk to your doctor or get referred to a counsellor.
They'll be in a better position to give you proven advice rather than the answers you'll get here...
Relax, everything's just fine. They're asleep, so you better try to get some sleep, too. So that when they get to wake up, you've rested and had a nice, good sleep. It's your chance to get some rest and energize.
