Thanks @scottctj. During the week it varies… I can have sound sleep some weeks and other weeks have 2 maybe 3 restless nights where I have problems staying asleep (I’m usually able to fall asleep apart from some exceptions). I have definitely associated fridays and saturday nights with worry about sleeping… it starts in the morning but I don’t know to break that cycle. I’ll definitely try to leave the mobile in a different room, that’s a good suggestion, thanks! To answer your question, I seem to fuction ok the day after a sleepless night and as muchas I’d be tempted to take a nap, I avoid it in the hope of having a better night sleep…
@scottctj thanks for your reply. For the past year or so, I have been going to bed at the time most nights (around 10pm) and I find that it has helped me falling asleep. I’ve also tried turning off my mobile phone an hour before going to bed and avoid using it in bed though I haven’t been very successful (i used to love reading before falling asleep and have tried getting back to it but he temptation of checking the phone or browsing is too strong). When I wake up, i stay in bed for some time and then I get up and more often than not, turn my mobile on (I know I’m bad…). During the week I manage to get roughly 7 hours sleep most nights (it depends on my stress levels too) but it’s at the weekend that things get worse as I keep telling myself that I won’t sleep and that’s exactly what happens. Dont know how to stop sabotaging myself… mad as it may sound
