After what seems like weeks of sleepless nights, I'm back to sleeping soundly and that is a wonderful thing.
Lack of sleep is one thing my body just can't handle - I need my sleep and so do you - but sometimes the worries of life keep us up at night. When there is nothing I can do to fall asleep, I find that not fighting it works best. I simply submit to the insomnia and get up and do something. I've also found that getting caught up in something I love can certainly take my mind off my worries.
So I'm focusing on job hunting, cleaning, organizing, financial planning, cooking, my son and his studies and all the things I love in my life. And it's working.
For the past two nights I have fallen asleep shortly after hitting the pillow and have slept through the night to wake feeling refreshed. Anxiety still hangs out with me in the mornings, but even that is fading now.
Sleep is important. Make sure you get enough and when you can't, be kind to your Self and take it easy. Sleep will return once your mind can rest.
