So a friend of mine has recently started getting more panic attacks but what is really important is that she has been getting these during her sleep which prevent her from getting a somehow "decent" sleep therefore she wakes up every hour or 2 and cant go back to it unless she exhausts herself to a point where she can just blink and literally fall asleep for very few hours again and again,sleeping pills dont seem to be very helpful either.The question is,what can be done so she can return to a normal routine where she can get at least 5 hours of sleep and really feel rested enough to be in the mood to get some form of exercise as she had done a few weeks before this mess up happened.Also,what could be the cause of how she referred to it as "too much anxiety these days"?.I cannot describe the situation any better as I don't feel confident about talking this subject with her therefore I try to understand by asking other people.
