Hi everyone

I recently notice that my sleep is improving (still fragmented and light sleep, but it’s okay), no racing thought at night and believing everything will be okay even though I might have no sleep or little sleep. But sometimes when there is big day like I should driving to another town for 4 hours, it put me into pressure to sleep, like if I don’t have enough sleep then I will put myself at risk while driving. Also when I look at people that having stressful day, I always wonder how are they be able to sleep?

Any suggestion how to handle this problem?

English is not my first language, so please forgive any mistakes.

Maybe those stressed-out people aren’t sleeping. Maybe they are.

A night of great sleep is never guaranteed — big day or not! As you shared, the more pressure you put on yourself to make a certain amount or type of sleep happen, the more difficult it seems to become.

So, perhaps the way forward here lies in removing yourself from the process of sleep as much as you can? Not putting effort into it. Not trying to make it happen. Going to bed, resting, and allowing whatever shows up to show up.

Perhaps your experience also tells you that you can still get through the next day, regardless of how sleep goes. Yes, it might be more difficult — and you have a track record of doing it anyway.

I hope there’s something useful here!
