Sleep

I think stopping worrying is the key! If I have a sleepless night I just remind myself that I don’t have children to look after, nor do I go to work, so it doesn’t matter if I’m tired the next day. And yes, I think having a routine is important. You can also buy an alarm clock with a light that mimics sunset and sunrise: this helps the body produce melatonin.

Just to let you know have slept 8/9/10 hrs since Sunday..I've stopped worrying about sleep and just gone to bed..thank you ❤️

Thanks..I read something similar on a guy meadows site..he says stay in bed as well as getting up for some people reactivates your brain...at least if in bed your bodies resting

It is often recommended that you set yourself a sleep timetable and stick to it, even if you do not sleep.

Have a relaxed rundown to a set bedtime, say 11.00pm, go to bed then, perhaps read for 10 or 15 minutes, then switch the light off and lie down to sleep. Set your alarm for 7.00am. Whether you fall instantly to sleep and sleep 3-4 hours, or do not sleep until 4.00am, you stay in bed/wake yourself up when the alarm goes off and start your day. You should avoid daytime naps if you can, or limit them to 20 minutes (with an alarm).

Do this night after night until your body becomes familiar with this bed time rhythm. It works for many people.

Hi no I haven't seen sleep specialist spoke to Dr. Don't take any meds..slept a full ten hrs last night..think I'm sleeping to much on the night I sleep well...going to try sleep compression as advised by CBT as tonight I will prob on sleep 3/4 hrs .need to break the habit ?

Have you seen a doctor or sleep specialist? Some medications have an effect on sleep - steroid tablets (Prednisolone) affected me badly a few weeks ago.

I meant bizarre lol
