The biggest sleep challenge is staying asleep. I am not sure what the cause of my sleeplessness is: I never used to have them before, started about 2 months ago. It could be due to anxiety. I found out about Insomnia Coach through social media. Worries and concerns include staying safe and keeping my family safe from the pandemic, job loss, health scares and fear of not being able to fall asleep night after night.
@Mani – welcome to the forum and thanks for posting.
The concerns you outline are certainly factors that increase our arousal system and potentially trigger disruption in our sleep. When we experience a restless night, we usually change our behaviors (go to bed earlier, take a nap, cancel social events, etc) to compensate for poor sleep and that perpetuates the issue. How we react to sleep disruption determines if we continue to have sleepless nights or have sound sleep. To counter our arousal system, it’s important to build a strong sleep drive during the day by continuing to do the things you enjoy, only going to bed when you’re sleepy, get out of bed in the morning at the same time each day, etc.
