I've been having a heck of a time sleeping for the last few weeks. My problem is being too wired to sleep--can't fall asleep. Whatever it is, anxiety, I end up watching the sunrise...no fun when it is an unplanned event.
I worry about it. If it's going to continue forever? My natural rhythm does lean toward night person, always has...but it's hard being a night person in a morning world. Also, I try to keep on a 'regular' schedule sleep-wise, even if it is staying up till 3 a.m. and waking at 10 a.m., so long as it is before noon.
I have a tape I listen to if I'm really restless, it's not about sleeping, it's this Jungian therapist and she's talking about abondonment issues played out as cultural stories, so it's like listening to a storyteller and keeps me from doing the racing thoughts thing so much.
I haven't yet been able to equate my insomnia with a personal deficiency, but I figure that's just a matter of time. :)
Good luck,
Shar
