Hyper vigilant

I'm 39 years old and I've been awake since 345am because my parents are visiting from out of town. My father got up and turned on the kitchen light then sat at the table, which I can see from my bedroom because I only have a curtain, not a door (5 kids in a 3 bedroom house has me sleeping in part of my living room). Today was my only day to sleep in all week and I'm feeling really resentful right now.

Stressful, glad you finally got some sleep.

I am so sorry Abbra, losing sleep is rough, especially if you feel pressured to sleep in the time you have and can't because of anxiety. I don't think there is anything wrong with feeling resentful. That is something important you missed out on. I hope you can find time to take a nap or do something restorative ☮️

Difficult, could you ask him not to put the light on at that hour. Or perhaps he thinks you are a heavy sleeper.

At least they are only visiting, and hopefully may be going home soon.

Cheers, Midori
