[Sleep deprived Sara]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Prior to my sleep issues I would get up between 6:30-7am.

Most nights I’m finding it hard to stay awake before my sleep windows, although some nights it’s easier.

I try not to check the time when I wake in the night, although some nights when I feel I’ve been awake for ages, I do then check it.

I’m trying not to restrict the things I’m doing with my life, but I’m finding it especially hard to read during the day without feeling very sleepy. And I’m also more reluctant to accept social invitations in the evening.

Many thanks,
Sara

Hello Martin, thanks for your reply. I’m currently going to bed at 00:30 and getting up at 06:00.
When I wake at 4am I just feel very awake. Sometimes I feel some anxiety building about not getting back to sleep and if that’s the case I get out of bed and try to do something to distract and relax myself. Other times I’m quite relaxed and just try to enjoy resting and lying there but still don’t fall asleep again.
