Hi all
I've posted about this before under a different name but I'm really struggling with falling, and staying, asleep at the moment. I was wondering if you could share tips that have worked for you.
I'm really lucky in that I have nothing in my life that is particularly worrying me, and during the day I am fine / happy / confident.
It's just that as the time to sleep approaches, I get anxious about my ability to fall asleep, and more often than not I land on one minor thing that I might have done wrong or forgotten to do and I keep going round in circles on it, reiterating in my mind that now I won't be able to sleep because, e.g., I forgot to cancel an appointment and now it's too late to text, and I can do it in the morning but that's a bit late notice, and why didn't I do it today etcetc. I already have something by the bed so I can write it down and in theory forget about it, but it's not working.
In the morning I'm always astonished at how I managed to get such a little thing keep me awake.
Any tips please...
