Experiment

I am a clock-watcher.  I have been for a long, long time.  And time causes me anxiety.  Lots of it. 

I haven't been sleeping well for a while.  Part of my problem is that when I wake up, I have to see what time it is to see how long I slept and then I watch the clock to see how long I don't sleep.  Silly, I know. 

So, I got rid of my digital alarm clock with the brightly glowing numbers.  I can't read my husband's clock without my glasses on and am too tired to get up to look at it, so I don't know what the time is during the night.  This has actually worked for the two nights I've tried this so far.  I've slept better than I have in a long while. 

We'll see if this keeps up.

  1. Wow, I didn't know that you do that. It's kind of funny the things you learn about your siblings sometimes. I think it's that's a great idea and I'm glad you've been able to sleep a bit better. Perhaps your sleep will continue to improve. I sure hope so. It's so important in how one approaches the day and how one feels during it. Keep us updated on how your experiment works!
