Could it be anxiety ...maybe kicked up from the new baby...takes a while for the hormones to kick down...also it could be your blood sugars are low at night..can you please go into more details on what you are concerned on?

HUGS

[SleepsWithButterFlies]

OK COOL I get it then its a start....youre worried about the anxiety attacks and then because you fear them you may be more prone to them...?? I bet thats it and anxiety after one has had a child and all well it does go up....Have you seen way down below the anxiety section???

Tonight a hot bath some hot tea maybe some candles in the tub

Now on you may wanna do deep breathing , meditation, exerise mid day to help wear that stress off by bed....the anxeity area may have all the tips and a GREAT book to get is THE ANXIETY AND PHOBIA WORKBOOK ..it has lots of tricks..also writing how you feel and what you are worried about can help

That it always happens at the same time of day gives you a good beginning to find out your answer to this. I'm sorry you are having any difficulty, btw. First, I would rule out any reactions to food or drink. Is there something you have each night you have problems that you don't have at other meals?

Then I would look at the interaction at the dinner table... is this different than at other meals? Does someone there upset you at all, or are you unsatisfied with your own talk or feelings there?

Is it that you don't have time during the day to think about all that's happening in your life, and the lull after dinner allows it all to "attack" you? I would try writing down things during the day that you need to spend time on later... and even right before bed, make a list or use a journal to record your thoughts. That way, you won't have to hold them in your mind while trying to relax to sleep..

There are herbs you can try to help calm you. Breathing exercises can help too (ppl often hold their breath as they become more anxious.)

I hope you find a solution quickly... feeling ill and lack of sleep can sure affect the rest of your life! (congrats on the baby, btw)
