Yes you are totally correct, I’m expending so much energy trying to fight the constant worry thoughts. I keep thinking, what if this doesn’t work? But really, what I’m currently doing isn’t working so what have I got to lose right? Thank you for linking that thread, I read through the whole thing and the beach ball analogy was very helpful as well.
Hi Martin, thanks so much for your reply! I am taking the free sleep course emails and I’m watching the youtube videos. The techniques I’m using are getting up at the same time every day, going to bed around the same time, but only going to bed when I feel sleepy. I think my biggest hurdle right now is acceptance that this is part of my life right now and “not caring” if I sleep or not. It’s so hard for me mentally. I haven’t been cancelling plans and have been really trying to keep busy with my family, but I’m still having really rough nights. It’s the fear of not sleeping and having it cause me panic attacks at night or during the next day. This has been such a hard thing for me to navigate.
