[yawning]

Hi Martin, thanks for replying. I have trouble staying asleep. No matter what I’ll always wake up during the night most of the time falling back to sleep for another hour or two. Plus I often feel fatigue during the day, sometimes yawning as early as 10am having woke up and got up at around 6am.

I have been reading your email course though and come to realise that I do have negative feelings towards sleep. I don’t worry about sleep in the moment or about how I’ll feel the next day. I blame sleep for a lot of my problems and if I didn’t get much sleep I would “write off” a day because I didn’t get much sleep compared to my normal amount instead of paying attention to how I felt I just falsely assumed the worst. I am working to replace this with a more positive attitude towards the sleep I get and let go of negative thoughts towards how much sleep I got. If I got an hour less sleep than I normally do then knowing that would negatively affect how I felt even on the assumption that I would be more tired because of it instead of paying attention to how I felt.

Oh also the days when I do fall asleep I don’t get a restorative amount of sleep as it is so on the days where I can’t fall back to sleep its even worse.
