Anxiety when I sleep😥

nerdygirl

EVERY NIGHT when I lay down to go to sleep I am soooo paranoid about someone breaking in. Hearing noises, & even waking up in a panic thinking I heard something that wasn't there. One night I thought I heard foot steps, then thought I heard a car horn. Neither happened bcus no one else heard it. It's to the point I have to look out the window every night in order to feel better. My bedroom is ground level, in the basement. & bcus I felt so paranoid I thought moving upstairs to the spare room would help, & it did for a few nights. But now I'm right back to being paranoid, my anxiety is through the roof! My boyfriend is the same way, but can sleep in peace so his anxiety isn't as bad. We even have a house alarm that we set every night.

What can I do about this?? Does anyone else get paranoid when they go to bed? I'm weird I know ):
