I cant sleep at night

Hi Everyone

The last few months I wake up all night . I dont sleep. My work can be stressfull.

I started sleeping in a diaper every night and Im out like a baby. Now unless Im in a diaper, baby tshirt or onesies, paci and bunny I cant sleep. I have always had very strong AB desires that seem to be getting stronger as I get older, I regress alot now.

Is my little side trying to tell me something?

ABdrew,

Nothing it hasn’t been telling you before ! Sounds like you are finally listening. Sleep well !!!

Thanks ABbilly. I think I am finally listening. I know I am a baby so it must be my subconscious telling me to be who I am. When I sleep like a baby I wake so freshed and happy. The joy I feel for the world is increadable.

Does anyone else feel like this too?

I wish I could sleep :frowning:. Nothing works at all. Not diaper, not sleep routine, nothing. I would LOVE it to be as easy as putting on diaper …be very happy and enjoy your lovely sleep:slight_smile:

I have downloaded sound files with rain and thunder to my cellphone. When I’m going to bed I put the phone under my pillow and fall asleep to the sounds. There are a ton of ASMR videos on YouTube, just download your favorites and convert them into mp3 :giggle: and put them in the phone.

KarmaBaby,

If you are not sleeping well, this is a serious issue. I know I’m not telling you anything new but you really need to get that figured out. I don’t think there is any bigger health issue than insomnia. Research, research, research !!! Professional help too potentially. Don’t let this rule/ruin your life. Truly ! My deepest wishes for you to find a resolution !!!

I think I sleep better when I’m diapered but I sleep well to begin with. I play a soft CD when I go to sleep. I focus my mind on just the music and I’m usually asleep by the third piece.

trying it’s just taking forever. I have CIRS from mold toxicity … it causes wide spread inflammation and MANY symptoms for me. Worse is daily chronic migraines (on disability for), and associated body pain, fatigue, mental issues. I’m on supplements for that but because of money I can’t do anymore neurofeedback which was helping the most. It’s a very slow road of detox. Sleep just refuses to respond at all. Family doctor just wants to put Me back on depression meds which I just got off because they caused 17 cavities in two years, still have some dry mouth because of my other meds too. I Listen to most of the sleep hygiene items (i am bad on facebook until bed but have amber glasses and blue light filter on iPad). Getting really annoying though.

I got a lot of this before I started bedwetting. Now that I actually am a bedwetter it is, of course, very useful.

I recently found I slerp sounder and longer with my pacifier. I have always headstrong sucking urges.

Lately its been; warm bubble bath (Johnsons calming lavender bath), my feetie jammies, a smoothie (or almond milk with a splash of chocolate syrup) my stuffed Snoopy, and of course, paci!!:two_hearts:

Last night I found a mommy’s heartbeat teddy bear. Had to get him.

I sleep very well

Try taking valerian supplements 30 minutes before sleep. It’s a natural herb so no worries for side effects or addiction. It helps to enter sleep but not for staying asleep. But it helps me too to sleep better.

I sleep, well, like a baby when I am diapered. I don’t think I have missed more than a couple of nights in past three years where I wasn’t diapered for bed. I sleep sooooo much better. Cloth, disposable, AIO, doesn’t matter, just like the calmness that takes over when I am diapered for bed.

Try counting sheep. Seriously try putting on some soft, calm cool, and quite music and turn down the volume enough to where you can hear it and not the whole house then jump into bed close your eyes

I understand for about a full year maybe for an hour 1/2 I may have gotten sleep then I wake up and i’m up for the rest of the night. I’v tryed everything reading, listing to soft, calm, cool, and quite music it was to the point I just wanted to cry

It’s horrible to lie in bed and not be able to sleep. It happens to me when I have something on my mind that is causing me to worry.

Hello. I just recently accepted my little side. I’m in my littlespace right now actually, but I came out because I wanted to share a few things with all of you.

I see that there are people who struggle. I struggle as well. I’m very fortunate to say that when I wear a onesie and diaper, I fall asleep almost zoned out. But for me, I recognized how it is with me, and… well… I guess I should say that I have a lot of repressed memories of childhood when I was younger. And accepting my little side later in life has allowed me to try and access those memories again. One of the main reasons I didn’t sleep at all for the past two years I’d say is safety.

But hearing so many people can’t enter a littlespace, even with help from accessories that they “think” can help, hurts! Please let me recommend a few things. Yes, there’s a monetary cost, but purchasing the “right” things with the “right” attitude helps a lot. I know… because…

I was engaged to a woman who was good and bad for me. I really don’t want to go into details, but I remembered a tactic recently I used when I was younger:

I recommend, if you can’t sleep, get a stuffie you trust. I have one, Trunky. He’s a huge squeezable elephant that I used to combat severe anxiety. We’re talking the anxiety that makes you shake in place and chills you so much in your core, that you shake uncontrolably. My little side chose Trunky, and I’ve used him as a way for me to ride out my anxiety and panic attacks. Reliving one of my repressed memories, If I place Trunky in such a way that he watches over me while I sleep, I feel protected and I can fall asleep. Same if I have several stuffies in bed that I trust. I keep saying trust, because I had one that was given to me that I didn’t trust, and I had to dispose of him. I trust the stuffies I have, and if you choose to do that, and have a stuffie watch over you…be honest with yourself, and say out loud to yourself your decision. Honestly, this has helped me out the most.

If you also have a door lock, set one up. If you don’t, consider even making a simple hook-bolt lock. The reassurance that you are protected by the door to your sanctuary helps a lot.

Make your room your littlespace. And I say this, and I also know that’s hard. But for me, just having stuffies I trust in bed, lots of pillows, and wearing diapers/onesies is enough for me to melt into my littlespace… but the extra accents that keep me in there are things like fleece blankets, drop pillows, cuddle blankets, and cute things. Even the sight of an unused pacifier next to my bed is enough to keep me in my littlespace. I know I’m planning on revamping my bed to have two extra bar walls, and turn it into an adult crib… because I want my room to be my littlespace.

Maybe this helps. Maybe not. I just wanted to share because I think it could help someone. If you’re looking for a good onesie that can cover you so well, I’d recommend Forever Lazy’s footed adult onesies. It’s like walking around in a fleece blanket… that, and I also built-a-bear for myself, and he’s so precious to me.

If you want, please reach out to me, and I can talk with you. :slight_smile: Stay young and happy.

Only you can really answer that.

Like me it sounds like you need to regress regerly.

What is your inerchild wonting,

Something I have learnt is sometime I won’t to play. But I have to Adult and go to work then when I get home I still have to do Adulting.

By the time I have finished there’s no time left for Siysiy to play with my toys.

So I now make sure that I have time to play and to regress, about two hours ish before bed time.

I am trying to sleep through but I alway wack up needing to pee or I wake up in the middle of wetting, so like you I like to wear at night.

My night time routine of getting is my way off looking after my self I have some bed time story that are on YouTube one of my favourite is Zack with his cat. I get all comfortable cuddling Peter Rabbit. My stuffie. Suckling on my pacifier. I soon fall asleep.

Hope this helps

Hugs

As stated above everyone is different. For me…

It’s a warm bubble bath with lavender baby bath, feetie pjs, my soft flannel sheets, snoopy, a warm bottle filled with almond milk (a shot of Hershey’s simple if I’ve been good), my heartbeat baby bear, and of course my pacifier (always with me. Never seen, but…) I am also a huge essential oil user. I have a blend I spray on my pillow when I can’t sleep, I will also put it on my diffuser bracelet. I diffuse sleepytime from 7PM on (it is set to shut off at 5) during the day I diffuse either energy or inner peace depending on my mood. Read the posts, try the suggestions. if they work great, if jot toss that thought into your mental trash can and try another.

Hood luck with your journey.

stress is one of the leading cause of loss of sleep and being irritable. it can cause you to have high blood pressure. are like my friend started to have panic attacks.

I think you need to take some time off of work. my friend had to take time off from his work for a few weeks. and his boss gave him less work to do for a few months. he took some cancelling and now dose more stuff like swing with his kid at the pool and going camping in the summer.

anyway you have to find ways to unwind from work when your off work. and do some relaxing thing on the time you have off. and dare I say don’t use your cell phone 2 to 3 hours before you go to bed.
