      I’ve been an insomniac for over two decades and Martin’s help so far has been the most helpful. I’m about to embark on restricted sleep/sleep window but not sure how to handle my very frequent waking throughout the night. Seems like every few minutes. I presume I will not need to get up and do something else? I am anxious on starting this new schedule and fear I will be really exhausted. I very frequently experience no sleep for 2 days in a row. Any live wires out there who can offer any advice?

        Hi!

        Live wires? Does an ex-live wire’s account carry any weight? LOL. But basically why ask the people who still haven’t seemed to have it figured out, versus those who’s been there, done it and gotten over it?

        Waking up is really normal is what I wanna say. Try not to take any issue with it, if you find yourself in this situation, the first thing you should try is getting back to sleep, or if that’s generating too much stress due to unpleasant wakefulness, you have the option to get out to get away from the source of stress and try again later. But you still need to get comfortable with episodes of wakefulness everytime they find you.
