Insomnia

Does anyone have a good cure for bad sleep? I think I am starting to suffer from insomnia for some reason. When I moved, the first few nights I slept like a baby and now sleeping became a difficult task to do.

First of all, I feel sleepy and then I get into bed and cannot fall asleep. I cannot get into a comfortable position and even when I start to fall asleep I wake up as if someone slapped me. I am tired and I just want to rest finally.

I lowered my screen time before bed time, I read in the evening, I dim the lights, light up my scented candle, I do everything to get me in sleepy mode and then I just suffer throughout the whole night.

Last night I couldn’t fall asleep for about two and a half hours and then when I was finally asleep something woke me up, some sound from outside but I jumped up as if someone was chasing me. Maybe I even had a bad dream that I don’t remember. And don’t get me started on how stiff my body is. It’s like I purposefully freeze my body in one position, knees always pushing against each other because I sleep on my side and then I just don’t move. I am in pain.

Maybe, subconsciously, I am a bit scared of sleeping alone in my new apartment. I talked about this problem in a video you can see below. Maybe it will go away with time, who knows?

I would love to hear your advice on how you deal with bad sleep and insomnia! All recommendations are welcome.

Love,
