Its because i was an avid gym goer but i dont have the energy at the moment. So figured yoga will still be a good way to keep fit just in a different way to what im used to.
I think CBT is my next step. Going to see how the next few nights go
Yes i meant the mindfulness sessions. Im going to take up yoga (as im too tired to get to the gym) so hoping that will be good for me too
To be honest ive never thought sleep trackers were that accurate anyway. Wasnt sure if it was worth doing incase i had to see my doctor and give them a record of my nights, but as i said ive never believed them to be that accurate
I do find it quite relaxing just listening to someone talk me through it. Is it best to do it just before getting into bed?
Last night i got to sleep really quickly as i was exhausted but i woke at least 5 times throughout 8 hours. I find during each “sleep session” im dreaming so im not sure if this is a good or bad thing as i know the brain is active during dreaming. I do have a sleep cycle tracker which u leave in your side and it tracks your sleep based on breathing/movement, but not sure how accurate it is
Im trying to do a bit of mindfulness/meditation at the mo to try and help. I guess that takes time and practice.
Im honestly scared of the sheer lack of sleep im getting particularly when its days in a row. Im on day 3 of maybe 2hrs sleeo each night. I struggled to work today and have a massive headache i cant seem to shift.
Everyone suggests trying thinks like herbal remedies, and antihistamines but im so reluctant to use anything that i shouldnt. But i feel desperate now 🙁
Ive also heard about people using acceptance therapy instead of CBT. Ive seen that both have had pretty good results with individuals. Whats the difference between the two?
Thankyou for your reply Martin. To be honest when i go to bed i dont start thinking about sleep. My mind is clear as far as im aware. I do tend to see what happens. But when i wake up again, thats when it starts rolling into my mind. Last night i put an audio book on with an hours timer. I fell asleep at some point but woke again as it just finished, so i knew i had been asleep only a short time. I then struggled to sleep and woke my other half to quietly talk and get some frustration off my chest (he's ok with me waking him) and then had two short sleeps after. I didnt wake feeling refreshed at all and i am going back to work tomorrow
I understand i need to try and chill out about it but its really hard to do 🙁
