thanks for your wisdom, Martin and i am very happy to start your 6 week program as of yesterday

[Johnb]

Like you, Wendy, i did the free course and now just joined this 6 week course and right at the very beginning, coming to the forum before everything else.
I am not much younger than yourself (62) and when sleep is going well i allow 10pm to 6am for sleep and seem to be asleep for all that 8hrs so im not yet sure what to make the sleep window as i sometimes get nights of zero or few hours sleep. I guess this is what this course is about- to find out all that stuff!!
I wish you success in overcoming your insomnia 🙂

thanks Martin!!

I now have in place a friend who can give me a lift to work should i need it.
Just having that in place has made me feel a lot more accepting about lack of sleep and ive actually been sleeping a lot better since! Hence, at this stage, i haven’t missed any work days for a week now ( i’m a teacher) and if i have had low sleep, ive decided to drive in/to work without issues.

cheers mate

5am is a fantastic time to wake up! Its a quiet time, before the sun rises and its a perfect time for morning walks as the sun rises, meditation, yoga, etc.
Maybe you could consider turning what you percieve as a negative into a positive? cheers

thanks Chee2308 and sleep for your replies.

Yes, I am starting to take a more carefree attitude towards sleep for the last few days and this really seems to be working- already I am feeling things turn around.
I quite enjoy my middle of night wake ups- ” severance” on appletv is a great show!!

thanks Martin.
Yes, the intent being to get some recovery from poor sleep but, watching more of your videos, I can certainly see this could then lead to there not being enough ” sleep hunger”.
thanks again
