If you keep checking the clock during the night it adds to the worry about being awake. For example if it’s 3am and you check the time, you start to think ‘Oh no! I’m running out of time to sleep, I’ve got to be up at 6am and I’m going to feel terrible tomorrow. I need to hurry up and get to sleep’. All these kinds of thoughts fuel the sleep arousal that keeps you awake. If you think to yourself that it doesn’t matter what the time is, it helps you to relax and takes the emphasis off going to sleep.
