i find it hard to sleep outside

when i'm by myself i can not get to sleep even in my own garden, my mind gets paranoid, i think about stuff thats appened to others in news papers and stuff and i just cant sleep. i can sleep when i'm with others. how could i stop being so paranoid. im not paranoid about anything else, gotta go i think theres a burglar down stairs (joke)

cya later
thanks for your suggestions

 

meditate may help. I'm paranoid too.

 

learn ways to defend yourself. some level of anxiety is a good thing, you just have to learn to direct it. I find that knowing I can handle myself gives me confidence and calms me.

and lay off the pot

 

Generally speaking, the further you are from other people the safer you are.

start off easy, try a snooze in the middle of the day. Throw your mattress out the window and give yourself something familar to sleep on...........

 

Thinking about all of that just means your mind is stuck on overdrive from being cluttered with so much nonsense 24/7...
Sometimes it takes a while to shake it all out. My advice is spend a whole day outdoors...hiking, working out, just tiring yourself out in general...stay away from the usual radio and tv and such, and when you lie down to sleep your brain will be a lot more happy to just relax and quiet down.

Be at peace with the here and now and you will become more aware of your surroundings.

I have taken brief stints at being a tramp in the past, and have dealt with this same problem - I am very comfortable, physically, outdoors, but it wreaks havoc on my psyche and I get hyper-stressed and paranoid when doing it alone, and thus I become unable to sleep.

 

My friend sleeps peacefully outside in a tent last night as he said and plans to do it as long as weather allows. The differance between his personality and most that I noticed is his willingness to communicate in a friendly way. I also don't think of myself as alone when I am far apart from others, this may have somethingto do with fear.

I look at it this way - if there's a boogeyman and a victim in the woods ... I'M the Boogeyman.
