I got to sleep eventually. I woke up on the sofa and slumped back to bed. Woke up a little bit later again but oh well, glad I switched my WFH days! My insomnia tends to come in cycles so hopefully that’s it for a while…
In that case you maybe should consult a doctor? Anyway: It’s important not to panic. If you say to yourself “I have to sleep, I have to sleep, why can’t I sleep?” you make the situation even more worse. Let the pessimism insomnia win! As I pointed out above it’s important just to relax and calm down. And find a place where you feel comfortable. A relative of mine can sleep on the couch much deeper, better and faster than in her/his own bed.
Hello, insomnia, my old friend…
I’ve come to chat with you again,
Seeing visions at three a.m.
Are there others as wired as I am?
Needing the sound of silence.
Yeah it’s weird - I’ve been going in the morning. I end up really fidgety when I go to bed because my muscles just won’t relax. It’s not like cramp. Difficult to explain. I did make sure I warmed up this time though, which may help.
