Ahh I can see its going to be one of those nights I am sooooooooooooooooo tired but I cant sleep and the fact that my husband is asleep next to me makes it worse jealous,me oh yes very much so.

The thing is I know what has set it off this time as it has been a very stressful few weeks and an really stressful week this week, so it has been a long time coming.

I need to learn to switch my brain off and clear my mind but I dont know how. Any tips would be greatfully appreciated.

I'm having this same problem right now. I'm not even stressed, more anxious in a good way. But my thoughts are all over. I'm trying to practice my mindfulness. Look into that, it's about dumping the thoughts, or being aware of them but getting them out and just living in the moment. I find it really helps. That, or I play solitaire until I'm too bored to think. 🙂

Thanks Martin will have a look finally got a couple of hours around 4am I think it was.

Something happened here which left me deeply hurt and upset and I thought after it was all sorted I would sleep like a baby but apparently not will hvae a look through your links and see if that helps tonight

thanks Cherrychapstik will look into mindfulness too. Haha Solitaire is usually my end result too 🙂

Sure is! What get me is that while not in bed, it does not make me drowsy. Must be some kind of conditioning that began to work for me.
