Voices only at night

Hi sinistral,

Speaking through my own experiences with voices, I will try to answer your questions. Keep in mind that everyone is different and therefore you may not experience what I have and vice versa.

When I first heard voices years ago, they bombarded me from the time I woke up to the time I fell asleep. 29 years later, I hear them in the morning when its quiet. I wake hearing music and about 2 hours later I will start to hear voices. I keep busy so as not to hear any voice. I keep my mind stimulated and moving forward. I am able to "push" them away.

Music helps keep them at bay. Staying as busy, not only helps the voices, it helps my anxiety and depression.

One last point..you can live a productive life while hearing voices. Taking meds is key to the recovery of voices.

I wish you well.

Dave

My voices have occurred at all times of the day and night.  But I think that it is certainly possible to hear them only at bedtime.  I no longer hear voices unless really under stress, but I still hear other noises that are not really there.  Like I hear my cell phone ringing about the time I wake up in the morning, and it is not really ringing.  I have also had a single word shouted at me after I get to sleep, and that wakes me up in a panic.  Most disconcerting.

But Dave is right -- medication prescribed by your doctor is the thing most likely to get rid of the voices, no matter what time of day they occur.

Best wishes,

Carolyn

I think the hallucinations and voices are usually at all times but there might be some exceptions, I don't know but intense activity of one kind or another seems to prevent it somewhat for some reason.

Hello sinistral,

It is possible to hear voices only at night.

It is also possible to hear voices at all times and with greater intensity and frequency at night.

I had a roommate 20 years ago who heard voices at night that were so disturbing she turned on the radio LOUD to drown them out.

Regards,
