Ah, sleep. It my main problem. I get anxious thinking about going to sleep because that is when I was attacked the most at home. Now my home is the last place I can relax. Good times.
As for last night, I only slept about 3 hours, but it wasn't too bad. Lately I have found a technique which has helped me slightly... because my bedroom is the place that is hardest for me to relax, my wife and I set up our second bedroom as a "Cozy Room". We bought one of those massive 7-foot long Cozy Sacs, which are huge and very comfy bean bags, and put up some dark curtains. It has now become my favorite room in the house and has no associations with my childhood of any kind.
So the past few nights we just chill in there until I start to get sleepy from the pills, then I stagger over to bed, too tired to get too worked up and have any flashbacks. Its been a tad helpful.
Of course now I type this while sitting on the cozy so maybe I'm getting anxious and ruining the idea, but we will see!
Good thread!
