Hey @happysleep,

Welcome and thanks for posting! Typically, if you’re sleepy sitting on the couch and then wide awake when you get in bed, it’s can be conditioned arousal. If you have anxious thoughts about sleep, they tend to become worse as bedtime approaches. That fight or flight response from your arousal increases your cortisol level making it extremely hard to fall asleep. What are you currently doing to manage those anxious thoughts?
