Poor sleep

Ursula
over 4 years ago

Hello everyone,

I had been suffering from poor sleep for a while, but recently made some changes which started to improve it (eg not having caffeine after 12 p.m and using a weighted blanket). However, the massive change to my routine, brought about by the lockdown, seems to have really damaged my sleep quality. I can fall asleep ok, but I keep waking up too early, with my mind buzzing so much that I am unable to go back to sleep.

If anyone has any recommendations of methods they've used that have improved their sleep, I'd be grateful if you could share them. 

Thanks :)

    Hi Ursula

    I have 3 different sleeping places - bed, spare bed, sofa etc. - I find that when I wake up, my brain kicks off doing unnecessary maths calculations or just worrying about stuff so I just move to another bed, maybe switch the tv on something boring, on ultra quiet so I can't really understand any words and turn the brightness right down - and I tend to fade out quite quickly.
