A Lot of my Sleep problems have stemmed from anxiety and worry.  I am now using a natural sleep product called Sleep Time.  I have slept the last 4 nights.  But my days are still exhausting.  I am dragging all day and cannot function mentally because of the amount of sleep I have lost.(since June 30)  I am hoping my days will eventually get better.  My life has been completely ruined by lack of sleep.  Some people just don’t understand the damage that has been done, which makes it even harder.

Hi Theresa,

I hope you are keeping well.

Don’t give up its not that long.

Try  a little bit relax and get routine before bed time. Try go to bed in the same, use bed only for sleeping. Bath before bedtime…

Don’t let it to get worse and don’t worry about people around if they don’t understand its  because they never been in your shoes.

It’s always good to have people around who can support you in hard times but sometimes you have to count on yourself only.

Relaxation techniques can definitely help if you get enough practice in (relaxation is a skill that takes time to master). Anxiety and worry are very common disruptors of sleep — even after the initial problem that created the anxiety and worry passes. That’s because we begin to pay more attention to sleep than ever before — and, as soon as we pay too much attention to sleep, we make it harder to sleep. This then creates a negative spiral of increasing worry about sleep and worse sleep.

Techniques such as stimulus control and sleep restriction can be helpful but they are very challenging to implement. That’s why having the support of a therapist or coach as you implement the techniques can be invaluable.
