Hello and good evening everyone,

Below is some information on treatments for sleep phobia, anxiety and sleeping problems. Here are my lj posts with links and advice on how to get some good sleep:

If you have sleep phobia, it's worth speaking to your local doctor or psychologist about how to lower it. I've also read that meditation, massage, deep breathing and cognitive behavioural therapy can help people with anxieties and phobias about sleep.

You can download a cheap self hypnosis guide (it only costs about 7 to 8 pounds) to overcome sleep phobia here:

How to find an lj community that focuses on your area of interest/hobby

How to find an lj community that focuses on your area of interest/hobby/questions you want to ask:

- Go to  menu called "Profile" at the top of your livejournal page

- Click on the option "Edit profile"

- In the section marked Interests, type in your interest/s. For example, if you're interested in mental health, type in mental health (separate your interests by comma, so that your interest/s will have a hyperlink that will show you livejournal communities and lj users that discuss mental health)

Your edited profile should have a list of your interest/s. Your interests should be in blue font. If they are in blue font/writing, that means they have a hyperlink (this means that clicking on the link will take you to another webpage that shows you which communities and lj users share your interest). If your interest/s are in black font/writing, then there is no hyperlink (which means nothing will happen if you click on the interest).

Click on your interest (eg click on mental health in the Interests section of your profile) .

A list of individual livejournal bloggers and livejournal communities who discuss/speak about your interest will be shown.

Best of luck in finding what you are searching for, everybody! :) I know it can be a real drag trying to find lj communities that discuss your interests...so I thought that posting this would make life a little easier.
