Sleep and relaxing

Will Young

I find it really difficult to sleep unless i’m really tired and I can only sleep if the air around me is cold with a cold pillow, I think I might have insomnia. 

I also can’t sit on a chair without clapping my knees together constantly, it happens without me even thinking about it.

How do you relax? 

Because the most relaxed I feel is when I’m playing sport where everyone else says relaxing is lying down doing nothing. I don’t understand why anyone would do that because it’s not fun or productive and just a waste of time. 

Is it just me or is this relatable?

  • I have the radio on all night. Usually it's Radio4extra, occasionally BBC World Service or Radio5live. Concentrating on the radio distracts me, to some extent, from all the anxieties that keep me awake. I used to listen to spoken word CDs or podcasts which would finish after an hour or so but I now realise that continuous speech all night is what works best for me.  Slight smile
