Hey all! I’ve posted a couple of times, and I’m pleased to say I’m feeling a bit better. Still struggling but feeling better emotionally and hoping this is the beginning of the end. I haven’t really implemented any sleep restriction or even getting out of bed when I’m not sleeping. But I’ve almost just relented to sleep again. My body is just a bit over being anxious I think- after realising there isn’t any danger, so I’ve noticed I’m starting to sleep better on my own again and needing sleeping pills less and less. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is feeling sleepy again, not just exhausted.

My new concern is that I’ve been trying to find a new place to live and I’ve found the perfect place (rental price, location, interior etc) but it’s on an extremely busy main road (with trams!) the apartment is slightly older so the noise probably will be quite loud. Would it be a bad idea to take this rental on as someone with an insomnia tendency ?

As you know from experience, sleep cannot be directly or permanently controlled. The only thing we can control are our own actions. And, it’s our own actions that determine the life we live.

So, I think your question comes down to what feels most workable to you. Your choice is:

1. Take the new apartment because it keeps you moving toward the life you want to live, even though there might be some sleep disruption as you adjust.

2. Don’t take the new apartment, continue to engage in efforts to fight or avoid nighttime wakefulness, and move away from the life you want to live.

Only you can decide which is the most workable option since you are the expert on you! I hope this helps 🙂
