I've had this fear of sleep thing off and on since December. Mainly it's triggered by traumatic stuff, so perhaps it's my PTSD kicking in. Current week long or more fear is that I will die if I fall asleep. I'm not taking the full amount of sleeping aid I'm supposed to because of it. I'm manic and of course I probably need the higher dose to sleep and NEED sleep, but I'm too afraid to take the right dose. I get paranoid when I can't sleep so it's circular in nature.
