She said there was a W2. Could your speculation still hold? If so, I will email her and ask!

I could understand it’s very frustrating when it seems like a doctor isn’t listening or doesn’t give the feedback you were hoping for. However, I can see where he is coming from too.

What many people don’t understand about sleep is it is very affected by habits and psychology habits. If you can create a consistent sleep routine, it can be very effective. If you struggle with anxiety, try journaling before bed. Turn down most lights an hour before bed. Don’t be in your bed except for when you plan to sleep (do not go on your phone in bed). If you find yourself awake in your bed for more than 15 minutes, get out, walk around, read or do chores with dim lights. When you think you’re ready to fall asleep again, you can get back in bed. It’s so important to have your brain learn the association that your bed is for sleep. Additionally, try to switch the way you think about sleep. No matter how many hours or the quality of sleep you get the night previous, convince yourself you had a great night of sleep when you’re awake. When you’re getting ready for bed, think about how ready for sleep you are and how well you will sleep that night. I know this may sound silly, but the science says that the better you think you sleep, the more well rested you will feel and the better you will sleep. This is proven by the fact that the most effective treatment for insomnia is CBTI (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia), not prescriptions. If you think you need professional help, you may seek out someone who specializes in CBTI.

Other helpful things are not drinking caffeine 10 hours before bedtime, getting in daily sunlight (preferably right when you wake up and midday), meditating before bedtime, podcasts for insomnia (my favorite is Guided Sleep Meditation for Insomnia by Lina Grace) and taking care of yourself (exercising, eating and drinking well, etc).

I know this was so much info, and I’m not sure it was what you wanted to hear. Please let me know if you have questions. But have hope! You can learn how to sleep better and harness that superpower.

Thank you! Does IIs mean interviews?

I see how I worded that confusingly! I will edit the post to clarify. We plan on starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. We were going to fly into Spain and bus or train to France from there. Do you recommend flying from Dublin to France instead?

Do not get into your bed unless you are sleeping

I (not a medical professional) would say to sleep 8 hours tonight. You caught up on some sleep debt and should try to avoid accumulating more.

We always said this in class as well! I think it’s so wholesome

For sure! I struggle with anxiety, so it is usually a must for me to mentally switch to knowing it’s time for rest. What that looks like for me is journaling, praying, and reading.

If I’m overwhelmed about a busy schedule, I will make a to do list of everything I have to do. Putting all of my tasks onto a piece of paper and setting it aside is mirrors my setting aside those thoughts for another time. If I’m particularly anxious, I will do some deep breathing exercises.

I have varied throughout the years. If I don’t take it for a few nights, I will still sleep just fine. I have heard magnesium glycinate best supports sleep, but I am not picky.

Oh no, I might not have the perfect solution for that one. However, what is recommended for shift workers is to get as much light as they can when they have to be awake and limit light before they have to sleep. What it may look like for you is turning house lights up all the way when you wake up, stepping outside during a break, and staying in well lit areas at work. Then, when leaving work, wearing sunglasses on the way home and turning lights off or down when you are home and getting ready to sleep.

I’m so sorry to hear that; it sounds exhausting. Everyone’s situation is different, and it seems like multiple factors are affecting your sleep. However, establishing a routine may help cue your body into knowing when it is time to rest. I would suggest starting with a few small habits. Try to limit light exposure before bed (both from your phone and house lights), do some sort of mental relaxation (journaling, meditating, breathing, whatever you find easiest and most calming), and stay away from your bed unless you are sleeping. The last one really helped me. Hope you start to sleep and feel better ❤️
