Hi Martin, I did your course abt 2.5 yrs ago and on the whole have been pretty good with my sleep. I have gone through quite long periods with no sleep issues at all which has been absolutely wonderful! But also there’s been many times when I got stuck with setbacks for which have been a few days to a week, either on trips away, sleeping in different places or when big things were happening in my life and family and sometimes I just didn’t know why they came! I have felt the return of anxiety and panic and sleeplessness and this always led to some rough nights and a few rough days but I managed to get through much better than when I initially had insomnia. I know I need to experience night time wakefulness and usually listen to a podcast or a few and although I don’t like being awake I no longer battle with it. I focus on getting on with my life during the day but when it returns It still does frustrate me.
Recently I have had a bit of a curveball, a change in routine with my husband working later shifts and coming in around 2-3am – I’m finding I’m not settling and/or waking when he arrives and then having difficult nights – even though we are sleeping apart while he works these tricky shifts. He is also a big snorer so sleeping apart often is actually ok for us. Im thinking my nervous system is just so heightened to changes happening around me at this stage and super sensitive – Im guessing its just a super sensitive brain that is looking out for me, but I am just finding it tricky as yet again it seems to show up when something changes and I’m guessing it’s just a case of keep on keeping on? 🤪 any thoughts ?
