Sometimes I’ll be watching TV and nod off very easily. Also, sometimes I’m so exhausted getting a 2 hour nap feels wonderful. Are naps ok or do they mess up the process of getting my nighttime sleep back?
@schoolboy runaway I usually take a 30 minute nap and it doesn’t affect my nighttime sleep.
Here’s the positive information that taking naps gives you. You are able to sleep when it comes to a nap! Sometimes you try so hard to not fall asleep early, and you can’t help it and you do. The message is clear. When the pressure is gone, yours and my body easily fall asleep. Especially when they are not supposed to. But… at night when we have an agenda and pressure is present, we may come to the wrongful conclusion that our body is messed up and something is wrong with our ability to sleep. We can all rest assured that is not true. Thinking that it is true, dials up the pressure even more. But the proof is in the early nap or nodding off early. It makes it easier to not believe in that lingering lack of confidence in our ability to sleep.
Yes, that’s very true and easy to remember during the day but the nighttime brings back all the fear…I’m still working on it. Thank you for the insight!!
