I hear yeah! It’s totally normal and you are not alone! The mind is just stuck but with time and practice it will get unstuck and it will realize it’s not important. I believe our circumstances trained our minds to care so much, so I think we can train the mind to not care again. One thing that I am finally understanding is that this process takes time and that it’s okay! Realizing sleep thoughts are just thoughts and nothing more has helped me to not get tangled in them so much too.
Thank you Kelly for your kind words! Yes, our bodies sure do change with the little ones. I’ve come to accept that it’s very normal and our bodies were built to adapt. I was applying sleep restriction but then I realized for me it felt like another sleep attempt. I’ve currently just abandoned all sleep attempts. So anything that might put pressure on sleep I’ve been trying to abandon. Trying to just approach things as the “old me” would have. I’ve been going to bed when I feel very sleepy and have been accepting any wakefulness (it’s all normal and never bothered me before). I try not to judge my nights. Sleep is just sleep, it’s not a big deal. I’m at a point in this journey where I’m accepting it all. When I accept things, truly accept them, I’m realizing the struggle starts to lose its hold on me.
