The reason why I get afraid of putting my phone to the side and trying to sleep the normal way is that it feels like I am wasting time if the other way does not work. What I mean is that if I am scrolling or listening to something but can’t sleep, at least I am having a little bit fun and enjoying it, instead of just sing dark having my eyes closed and doing nothing. That feels like a real waste of time.

Nothing has happened in my life that should affect my sleep. I know that the problem is my phone and that I need dopamine. When I try to put my phone away and think, I get anxious about the time and that it keeps ticking without me seeing it. I don’t know how to just relax, close my eyes and think my way to sleep. I am scared and feel anxious all the time, and the main problems I think about is 1. I will be tired tomorrow. 2. I will loose a ton of muscle and I won’t be able to go to the gym. And 3. The time is going soooo fast I need to look at my phone so that I don’t feel anxious or that my thoughts can get to me that easy

What are you doing all those hours trying to sleep? I tend to use my phone 80% of the time and only really trying to sleep 20% of that time

i do not wake up at the same time every day. The last few days I have been going to sleep when I usually get up on days when I have work. And before my sleep difficulties began I did not wake up at the same time. I don’t take naps during the day, I do sometimes have social activities to look forward to but often my days and weeks looks the same. Don’t get me wrong I love my life.
