Hi @scottcj

That’s good to hear!

Over Christmas my insomnia eased but last night it came back with a vengeance and I didn’t get to sleep until 5:30AM again. However, today I worked out and meditated and feel a lot better for it. I’ve definitely taken your advice on board regarding not stressing about a bad night. If I can’t get to sleep I relax and try and think so what?

I’ve definitely worked out it’s psychological so hoping it will ease soon.

The night before last I slept well but made the mistake of lying in – I must be more strict next time and get myself back into a routine

@scottctj

Thanks for getting back to me.

Unfortunately I did not sleep at all last night! Currently just got back from a 7AM – 2PM shift. I’m hoping the sleep deprivation will result in good sleep tonight.

Definitely relate to the tired but wired feeling

I try and get out of bed, make a hot drink and read a book in a different room but I don’t think I commit to this long enough to feel tired. Will try watching tv, doing this for longer periods of time.

I want to workout but I feel like doing this on zero sleep is potentially a bad idea as opposed to just a rough night?

Thanks again

Hi @scottctj

Thanks.

It’s really strange as no major life event has occurred which explains it. I’ve just gone from sleeping fine with a good routine to this. I can only imagine it’s background stress manifesting of graduating from university, the pandemic and overall uncertainty. However, my stress levels have remained quite constant and not significantly changed recently.

I went to the pub the other evening and slept really well, however, last night back to 5:30AM.

I’ve started sleeping in the morning. I know that’s bad as the best way is to treat it is to get up at a certain time? That would usually be 7AM for me but sometimes I am not even asleep at this time so it’s not feasible.

Thank you for your advice of trying not to worry about it. I usually workout in the mornings and meditate but recently haven’t been due to lack of sleep. I managed to do so today and feel a lot better for it.

Fingers crossed tonight!
