Help I can't sleep !

[Eggsinthemorning]

Is anyone else awake I just can't sleep I have so much on my mind

Try writing it all down!

Same ☹️

Same , I never can , it’s getting me down . I need something you can get from the chemist that will help me sleep

I'm tired but am worrying about one of my dcs. I really need a good night as well! Last thing I should be doing is being on here!

Apparently doing something boring like a jigsaw puzzle/reading for 20 is meant to help. Handy if you have a jigsaw I spoke and I cant concentrate on a book at the moment so ignore that advice then. Lol.

Me neither. Mines Covid related. Mild my arse. Feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Everything hurts and I can’t get comfortable.

Have you tried a meditation app, helps you slow down your mind and control your breathing

I know this sounds really stupid but when my minds racing and I'm thinking of all different things at once I stop and dream up a fantasy so something literally impossible but not too taxing so for example I start to create a dream where I have superpowers that I can use to teleport myself to Disney or the Maldives or something and then I actually do end up falling asleep - doesn't solve my problems but it gets me to sleep!

That works for me as well @PandaBrush. I think it’s the exercise of relaxing into your thoughts that does it.

Thank goodness it's not only me who can't sleep ! Thank you for the ideas, I hope you can all get some rest eventually and I hope those of you that are I'll feel better soon.

You should try to do more work and exercise, it helped me a lot.

I was asleep, ow I'm awake. Have had tea and toast and a couple of paracetamols. Watching tv Not tired yet needs to put iPad down now!
