I Felt Something Crawling on My Back in Bed — But the Truth Was Much Less Terrifying

  1. my breathing.
  2. Address my sleep and stress. Rather than relying on a supplement as a quick fix, I focused on improving the habits that were clearly making my nights worse.

The first night, I still felt the crawling sensation.

But this time, I didn’t jump out of bed.

I took a deep breath, reminded myself that there might be a harmless explanation, and focused on relaxing instead of searching.

The second night, it was less intense.

By the end of the week, it had disappeared.

No exterminator.

No bug bombs.
