Thanks for the though love Chee! Your words resonate with me: I have a new boyfriend now and part of my adjustment process might just be that my mind and sleep cycle need to settle on that. I think I’ll just put all those CBT-I exercises on hold for now and just live in the moment in my lovely relationship. I have had sleep disruptions in the past and I know I can still function fine with only a few (or even zero) hours of sleep. So I’ll allow my mind and body to find a balance while I’m living my live to the fullest with my boyfriend! I’ll write these insights down somewhere, so I can look at it any time I start to worry again 🙂
Thanks for your insights Chee! I believe it’s because this is my first almost full week of sleeplessness, that my mind is really racing right now. However, during this week I also managed to go to the gym 3 times, have a beautiful date with my boyfriend, completed some work assignments and did some volunteer work. So you’re right that sleep doesn’t need to be the centre of my life right now, even if my feelings tell me otherwise.
Upon some reflection, it might be that my new (first ever) relationship is the cause for my sleep problems. On average we spent around 2 nights a week sleeping together and that means staying in bed longer and sometimes having irregular times going to bed. That might be something that I need to get used to.
Do you guys maybe have any insight in how I might find a balance between a new relationship and sleeping-partner and the disruptions that may cause in my sleep cycle? I mean, it might not be the smartest idea to stop sleeping together because of this right?
