Hi folks..just a short rant that I lot will relate too. Bad period of sleeping for three months. All started with my retiring in May. COVID has not helped.Started not going back to sleep after waking in night. Always have gotten for washroom break. Many nights like this but also periods of good nights. Last night I went to bed thinking it would be bad and my prophecy came true as Iwas up all night. Still got up at same time and just finished hour long walk. Tired of being tired. Martin,s posts are very good. Just trying to keep everything simple and do my regular day. All the best.
You’re not the first person to experience sleep disruption after retiring! I think retirement can be a common trigger for sleep disruption as we no longer have as much structure to our days (for example, we don’t “have” to be out of bed by a certain time) and we suddenly have a lot of free time during the day that, if not filled, can lead to more sedentary behavior and more time for rumination and worry!
With this in mind, it’s encouraging to hear that you are sticking to a consistent out of bed time in the morning and you are active during the day! Making sure you only go to bed at night when truly sleepy (finding it hard to stay awake) rather than when fatigued/tired can be helpful, too!
