This is my second time with a bout of insomnia. I have no trouble AT ALL falling asleep. My body is programmed to feel very sleepy and I can hardly keep my eyes open after 11pm.
I have this goal to sleep until 7am or at least 6am so I can have at least 7-8 hrs as that’s when I feel my best. I know that 8 hrs is a myth.
Of course every morning I wake up needing to use the bathroom and see that it’s still dark out and that sends my brain into total worry about not being able to fall back asleep. I worry that its 5am or earlier and that I will have an awful day.
My question is for those that have no trouble falling asleep. I am too afraid to restrict my sleep by changing my bedtime because I have very strong sleep drive on that end. Would sleep compression work? What have you tried. I literally fear staying awake beyond 11:30pm and then getting 6 hrs of sleep each night. I know to some it may sound like a lot but I dont feel my best and my job is physical so I need energy!!! Feel like giving up!
