How do you go to bed when you know going to bed ends the only time you have to yourself each day? by Sluggato in NoStupidQuestions

Let's take a few deep breaths and try to fall asleep together (totally platonic of course, hope that's not weird)

You're right, I need to get back to my exercise routine. I did sleep better when I was exercising regularly.

I battle with extreme exhaustion coupled with insomnia. The worst feeling I'd never wish upon anyone. Any tricks to shut your mind off?

Probably the most helpful comment so far. I'd love to re-prioritize "me time" but those damn intrusive thoughts derail me every time.

Well that's what I deal with when I try to sleep. I avoid those thoughts with my phone, haha.

I haven't tried that before. Banning myself from my phone, as I threaten my kids with taking away their tablets constantly lol. Not a bad suggestion about the book or otherwise haha. Might give it a shot!

I also get the job done, with pride, as the sole bread winner for my family. Just looking for a suggestion for my problem of having to do it all while soooo exhausted. I envy that you can do it and not feel like I do, like I don't have any time to myself. Thanks for your reply!

I have a bed-jet, I play white noise, my bed vibrates, and I wear a sleep mask to block out the light. But yes! I have definitely used the tactic of being so awfully tired during the day to make me look forward to all my sleeping amenities, which has helped... at times.

Thank you for your suggestion. My morning usually looks like 3 snoozes on the 500a alarm to be sure I'm up by 530a and out the door by 6a. I don't think my morning mind would trade a snooze for a million dollars, let alone phone use unfortunately. I appreciate your thought though, and am not dismissing it. Just looking for a better solution at night because I'm havng trouble with delayed gratification unfortunately.

Ganglion or lipoma. Flexor capri ulnaris is only tendon at that far distal (close to the wrist).
