    Hello Chee,

    To answer your question I dont sleep at all outside of my sleep window. I stay up all night until it is my sleep window. It started out at 7:15am and I managed to fall asleep quite a few times at 7, maybe i’ll try staying up a bit longer.

    This average has been for a week now. My biggest issue is the anxiety that this is causing me. In the past week I have become an anxious mess that just wants to think about sleep all the time. It’s been over a week since I had 6 hours and 2 weeks since I had 7. When I was having a bit more sleep I wasn’t thinking about it as much. I guess I am frustrated because I am waiting for that one good restorative night that still hasn’t come yet.

    In terms of the concept of time I try not to look at the clock, but I can tell that i’m up for 3-4 hours of the night and I’m sorry but 4 hours is just not enough to feel okay throughout the day. I can survive but with that little sleep anxiety takes over and has me obsess about sleep all day. I just want to stop obsessing and stop thinking about it but that is by far the hardest part. I am just always looking for a solution because I hate living like this. And yes I know looking for a solution is bad too, I just can’t get this out of my mind. And yes I agree trying to find a solution is the bad route, I just don’t know what else to do… I am waiting for just one day of decent sleep to make me feel even a bit more positive but it just hasn’t come… And I see where you are coming from, I agree, I wish I could just get myself to agree…
