I think this approach is spot on. It's more or less what I am trying to do myself. When unhelpful thoughts occur I tell myself “there's a time and a place for dealing with that and it's not now”. I try and find some enjoyment in the moment instead. I really didn;t find it helpful to keep getting up and doing something boring until I felt sleepy again – how helpful can it be to get up four times in the night? Too frustrating.
Hello Helen. I can identify with some of what you're saying. Quite often after a bad night I actually feel OK, and not particularly tired, during the day, it's only if I've had a catastrophic night that I feel dreadful. Can't say it's any different in winter or summer though, and like you I have tried lots of non-drug remedies without success – I am also avoiding sleeping pills.
