Dear Lu,

Your response really calmed me down, and I am so grateful to you for that.
I was scared to search for information about possible effects of insomnia on fetal development, afraid of what I might find, things I didn’t want to know.. But not knowing only intensified my anxiety. What you wrote literally brought tears of relief to my eyes 🙂

Thank you so, so much for your encouraging words, they were so meaningful for me.
Best of luck to you on your journey 💞

Thank you so much, Martin, this is definitely helpful!
I have another question related to this—there were nights when I fell asleep on the couch just before or at the start of my sleep window, and I actually managed to fall asleep relatively easily again when I moved to bed. However, I still notice that I have a lot of anxious thoughts like “I must not fall asleep anywhere but in bed,” and I wonder if you think it’s important for me to strictly avoid falling asleep on the couch, or if it’s okay as long as I continue sleeping in bed afterward.

I had a few less good nights this week and was wondering if maybe it’s partly because I still have many anxious thoughts about whether I’m doing everything “right” and avoiding “forbidden” actions before sleep.

Thank you so much for everything!
