Unfortunately, when I said you should just get on with your day, you do exactly that. Another word for this is acceptance. You accept whatever uncomfortable situation you find yourself in. It’s kinda like jumping into a cold pool or taking a cold shower, it’s quite uncomfortable at first but you’ll get used to it.
And therefore, I mentioned to find things to do to distract yourself, preferably something you really enjoy to take your mind off such things for a while. The more you just sit there and thinking how horrible everything is, the worse it gets. The more dissatisfied you are with yourself about sleep, the more despair you get yourself into. No doubt, you will feel tired and sleepy at times, and this is normal. It is surefire sign that your sleep system is still working perfectly!
The less you sleep during the day, the more likely you will sleep at night. This is the fundamental truth about human sleep biology. It works exactly like hunger. The longer you go without food, the hungrier you get. Just don’t stress excessively over it, trust your own body, it will readjust itself if you allow it. The act of just going to bed is analogous to putting food in your mouth when hungry. Your body automatically knows what to do next and it will get what it needs for that moment. There is just no way your body can get it wrong! Good luck.
