Just recently I've been waking up in the middle of the night, feeling really really weird, like I don't belong in my own body, all frustrated and anxty.
I try doing something to distract myself, brush my teeth, read for a little while, put a cd on, but nothing ever works.
It's a really horrible feeling. Like I don't belong, it makes me feel physically ill.
I've got a lot going on at the moment but nothing too stressfull.
I've never felt anything paranormal in the bedroom before, could it be this?
Have you ever experienced anything like this, or can you help?

Is there something that is worrying you? Maybe it's that.
Next time it happens though, open a window, get a bit of fresh air, (stay in bed though) & meditate for a while (if you know how)
Also if you think there are some outside influences at work then use a simple protection method like visualising yourself engulfed & surrounded in a ball of pure white light which nothing bad can penetrate. Also ask your guides to protect you. (even if you don't know/think they are listening.
Hope that helps
:)

Are you drinking a lot of alcohol before bedtime? - if yes then stop.
Are you smoking? - stop.
Do not drink any caffeine after 12 noon every day.
Are you overweight? - lose some weight as you could find that because of your excess fat, you are waking yourself up in the night with snoring.
Do you sleep alone? - if yes then you cannot blame it on anyone else.
Other than these factors I would try to ensure that before bedtime you get in a very relaxed mood. A bath, a hot decaffeinated drink, and no television, internet or any other mind games an hour before you go to bed. Just sit and listen to relaxing music or read a book.
I have a hypnotherapy tape which I sometimes use as over the years I have come to associate the noises and sounds of this tape with sleep. It removes a lot of tension, and sends me into a light sleep within 10 - 20 minutes. It has been known for me to fall asleep whilst listening to the tape.
I have tried herbal sleeping tablets, but they do nothing more than a cup of camomile tea.
I can sleep virtually anywhere these days from youth hostels in crammed rooms, to by the side of a busy road. The main factor in ensuring a good nights sleep is not what outside factors are influencing you, more what internal factors are causing disturbed sleep. Focus on what is inside you, and you will succeed.

Perhaps try having a total wind-down before you go to bed.
For example, do not talk on the phone,no T.V on just YOU time!
Run yourself a nice bath with your favourite smellies in.............perhaps read a magazine (nothing that needs too much brain work!) and make sure you go to bed when you are nicely relaxed and tired NOT over-tired. Lock up your home. Close the windows. Set your alarm.
Change all your bedding first so it`s all fresh and clean.
Plump up your pillows,make sure your room is not too warm or cold and hopefully have a peaceful nights sleep.
Oh, one more thing, if you have a lot of things in your bedroom that do not belong there,or a lot of clutter, clear this away first as this could be causing you to feel uneasy without actually realising it.
Good Luck.

A few times yes, and other times I feel like that when I wake up in the morning's, I usually try to roll back over again, and I usually wake up into a better mood.
Doesn't have to be all about stress, sometimes yes, but sometimes it happens out of the blue for no apparent reason, same with waking on the wrong side of the bed, you don't plan it, it just happens.

Well, I've never felt like that before, but for the last 2 1/2 weeks I've been waking up at about 4 in the morning and not being able to go back to sleep, its driving me crazy!

Don't eat for a while before you go to bed. Go for a walk in the evening this will help you to unwind, if you have a lot going on in you life at the moment. Then if you have some time treat yourself to a nice warm bath just before going to bed. Try a drop or two of Lavender oil in the bath .This will help you to relax and make you more at ease and ready to go to bed. If you wish play some calm music in the background.

you may be thinking about it too much, sounds like you are waking up part way through your sleep cycle, you could be doing this yourself, like you say too much stress is probably your answer.
I had similar problems when under alot of pressure at work, the worst thing to do is start doing something when you wake up, just concentrate on your breathing, relax and try and forget everything. I found chamomile tea helped me to relax.

Watch some infomercials... That'll put you to sleep...
Or, how about reading Tom Clancy... Very monotonous...
You can always go the way of sleep aids, but those are... eh
I suggest, "Rachmaninov - Cello Sonata in G minor - III"
That's a nice one...

It's usually a sign that there is something on your conscience, and our minds mull it over and over in the dark. It can be a sign that you know you are doing or have done something that goes against your instincts. Either that or your madly in love :-)

you may feel that you've nothing going on that is too stressful but we are not always fully in control of these feelings. don't let this situation go on for too long without seeking professional advice as it can lead to severe anxiety and depression.
