Negative: When the insomnia strikes too badly like last week, I become extremely irritable and unstable moods, which is no good for my kiddos.
Positive: I get a lot of work done.
Im suprised Lindsay can get work done. Researching my phd has bought back my insomnia, and part of sleep-anxiety comes from knowing I wont be able to perform to my best if I haven't slept. A coping technique is simply to work whenever I feel I can, which means I am up mostly until 4/5am working … this is OK for a phd student, but what about the future?
I think we all know the negatives, so I'll try to come up with a positive…
sorry but the best I can come up with is …. “I could have a worse affliction”, (and they say people who suffer form insomnia are generally quite intelligent, this might be bullshit, it could just be that we;re arrogant)
and, it is ironic, people used to tell me don't smoke marijuana (which helped me sleep) because it makes great people average, not saying that I am great, but it certainly made made me lazy … although I insomnia has similar symptoms
