I'm very lucky to be away on holiday, in a lovely hotel with DH and DS. Heavenly cool room and very grateful to coincidentally be away from the UK during the heatwave.
But as per usual, I can't sodding sleep, whilst the rest of the family snore and fart away. I am so envious of their actual ability to sleep when away from home.
I'm prone to insomnia at the best of times, but largely I manage it well at home. Here, I'm desperate to drop off so I can make the most of the day tomorrow, and not be super grumpy wife/mummy. Instead, every time I try and get back to sleep, waves of anxiety grip me.
Not sleeping on holiday has always been an issue, so well prepped with nytol, lavender oil, guided sleep meditations (which just seem to induce anxiety!) and podcasts etc. Different types of holiday don't make it better or worse (although self catering is preferable so I can go into a different room).
Does anyone have any tips on how to manage holiday insomnia? Or can empathise?
