How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[ninja]

Better... but in a rut of waking up too early. I think I slept a bit more deeply last night, when I did. The sleep is complicated.

I slept solid. I think it is all catching up with me because I have been sleeping in each day. It is better than what I had before.

I am working on sleep hygiene. I am taking my medication much earlier these days and that is helping. I am also putting myself earlier so that I can soothe myself, and quieten down the fear of rape. I also remember to do more positive things to assist my sleep if I go to bed earlier. This is a big change for me. I know with time it will normalise.

"The Promise of Sleep" by William Dement is an interesting book to read. One to google is "Sleep Hygiene". I found that useful as well.

Any solutions that anyone has come up with I am open to hearing them.

One thing that I want to achieve is a nighttime Mindfulness routine. Even just 15 minutes per night.

It was one of those nights where the brain wouldn't shut down, so I did toss and turn.

Sometimes these nights are beneficial as I do get a lot of thinking done and problems solved, but I sure do lag the next day. Oh well, I guess that is when I need to hear those thoughts to figure things out that I haven't been able to during the day!

Woke at 2am and 4am but not with panic attacks! So I am making progress! I was able to settle myself back down and get up at 4.30am for half an hour of Mindfulness Body Scan! I AM MAKING PROGRESS!

I have worked so hard on this. I now go to bed much, much earlier, and I have a totally different routine.

More sleep...I think 5hrs. vs. 3-3 1/2...improvement as I continue to eat healthier.

I didn't. Woke up at midnight after a couple of hours and have been awake since. At work until 3. Should be a fun day.

Ouch @Crow

In a phase of the trouble being to get to sleep not to stay asleep and last night was the same.

Slept straight through about 4hrs. (tired).

Still working on this. Improvement, but still a bit of a challenge.

Not well. Too late to take meds. Too late going to bed. Too late getting back from being out. Need to get home earlier. Set those boundaries.
