After sleeping for 2 hours, I awake. Bed is so comfortable and warm…house temp goes down to 62….I do not want to get out of bed. My mind goes to concerns about my sons and their families and cannot fall back to sleep. So I toss and turn and then my sleepless leg syndrome sets in.

Hi Cat lady,

Welcome to the forum! Stressful life events can certainly impact the quality of our sleep but it’s usually a short-term affect until the trigger passes. How long have you been experiencing these awakenings and worry during the night? Instead of tossing and turning in bed unable to fall back to sleep, have you tried getting out of bed and doing something enjoyable? You mentioned that your bed is comfortable and you’d prefer to remain in bed, but our mind can begin to associate the bed with disrupted sleep if continue to lie in bed frustrated.
