Even though I'm knackered after not a great nights sleep last night and work today. I just relax enough to sleep. My brain is on overdrive and my heart palpitations are not helping either. Got a feeling I'm going to have a crap nights sleep tonight.

Can't sleep
I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. I hope your fall over and get a good nights rest x
Hi Will,
Sorry you've had such a difficult weekend. I know it doesn't feel like it love but you're doing really well.
Don't worry about not sleeping. Try not to engage with the thoughts churning around in your head. Yes, I know it's easier said than done but it's best if you can distance yourself. Your mind can run all night if it thinks you're listening!!! Instead practise your breathing. Imagine yourself on your island. The storm of thoughts are swirling around you but nothing can reach you, you're safe on your island.
I find it helps me to have the radio on low if I can't sleep so I know someone else is out there and it drowns out some of the noise in my head.
Hopefully you'll drop off. If not at least you'll get some rest.
Good night.
Love

Get to sleep will
Serious now , the more you say I think its going to be a crap night , I wont sleep , you wont
I no you are finding things hard at the moment , but something on in the background a film or something , you will eventually drop of , ok you might me tired tomorrow , but then you might sleep better tomorrow
Think about anything to keep your mind of your thoughts , sometimes I lay there & think about decorating , what I would like , colours , curtains , might sound silly , but then it takes my mind from other things
OK I am waffling
Be good & get some sleep now
