Lockdown hasn’t really affected it tbh, but I’m in my new flat and I haven’t had a good nights sleep in nearly 3 weeks

Is there a reason for that?

I don’t think so? The bed is comfy enough, there’s minimal noise outside, I just seem to wake up every couple of hours*, it’s awful
*aside from when one of my friends stayed - that’s the only good nights sleep I had

You might want to see a doctor for that if it continues. One thing that shouldn’t kept being normalised is lack of sleep.

Sounds like subliminally you are worried about being on your own, it will pass as you get used to being in the flat on your own

No different.
I only sleep around 6 hours anyway. Lockdown hasn't changed that. |

Cal literally just said that in our chat but I’ve slept on my own before? Been in houses and hotels etc etc and never had an issue? It might be cause I’m not settled yet or something. I’m not too sure

Do you reckon it might be more a case of lockdown/COVID worries keeping you awake?

No, I legit have no worries about that bc i know I’m safe at work and when I shop it’s usually quiet and I’m following the guidelines

It's been OK-ish, I should get more sleep but with the schools off, evening times are our only time to ourselves and their bedtime has slipped back a bit to about 10.30..,so often I'm not in bed until about 2am/asleep by 3am and I'm WFH so still have to be up and semi-presentable by 9.30... So only getting 6 hours or so. I get to sleep fast and sleep well when I am asleep though. For most of the year round anyway - I find it hard to sleep if it's too hot... Planning to get aircon this year as I was miserable for a couple of months last summer. Yeah I agree, not going into deep phase sleep and staying in the lighter sleep cycles because you retain awareness of your surroundings to an extent in that state... So if your subconscious is telling you that you might not be totally "safe" then that will happen. Same reason general anxiety impacts sleep (as anxiety, essentially, is the high adrenaline state of never feeling safe).

Actually thinking about it TS, I have anxiety in general and recently it’s been quite bad, but not for reasons to do with where I’m living just personal issues and all that jazz, so it’s probably all that

It's a vicious cycle too Smithy; anxiety impacts sleep and then poor sleep quality worsens anxiety. But then, that also means if one starts to get better the other might too.

Lately it's been good, but it sometimes changes and it can be difficult to get back into a normal sleep routine.

...having a specific sleep routine helps, Smithy...a relaxing routine that starts to switch your mind off as well as your body so that your thoughts aren’t staying active and preventing deep sleep...different things work for different people, obviously...but there are lots of relaxation technique to help ...it’s difficult atm because even for people who may generally not be anxious, it’s generally an anxious time atm...and it’s very difficult for the mind to find relaxing diversions as we don’t the balances of life that we usually have...if you’re able to then having your exercise routine later in the day could be something to try as well ...and then a relaxing bath...
...I hope that you find better sleep, anyway... |

Mine is pretty much the same now, that's because I've been going in to work though, it was all over the place during the first lock down when I didn't go in to work.

But last night for example I went to sleep at around midnight, woke up at 3, think I drifted off again by about half past, woke up an hour later at half 4, didn’t get back to sleep till about 6 then I woke up again at half 7 and I’ve been awake since. It sounds really weird but every time I start to dream I wake up? It’s like my brains a broken DVD player as soon as something starts it spits it out and I wake up Tbh after thinking about it, I’m pretty sure it’s boy problems causing the anxiety and therefore the bad sleep, so it’s just something I’m gonna have to ride out

...yeah, you may have to ‘ride it out’ as you say until it feels more ‘resolved’...one of the good things, though...is that you’ve fairly much worked it out yourself anyway, the causes...so you’re already processing it all and that’s a really good start, I think...and you’re making your routine as fixed and ‘sleep inducing as possible’...you’re a pretty smart gal, Smithy...and I hope it all resolves to bringing you a more restful sleep soon..... |

All hail the Moyesiah

It's been fine generally, only thing I've noticed is that in the first lockdown I often had quite vivid and strange dreams which seemed to happen to a lot of people and that's started happening again in the last few days
