I have only been waking once a night, around 3am and have managed to get back off fairly quickly. I feel far more relaxed when I wake in the early hours now as I am gaining confidence that I will soon get to sleep again. I went back off and didn’t wake until 9 this morning! I might even need to ask for an alarm clock for Christmas!
However the icing on the cake this week was when I managed for the first time for as long as I can remember to beat one of my predicted sleepless nights!! We held my mother in law’s 85th birthday party at our house on Sunday and straight away on Saturday morning I started to feel really tense in my neck and shoulders anticipating a sleepless night. I decided to have a go at the technique you gave me on the card and repeated this a couple more times during the day and it really helped. I got to sleep without any stress or sleeping pills and was elated when I woke in the early hours to discover I had done it!!
I just need to convince myself now that I can do it again and again and my ultimate aim is to anticipate an event without even considering sleep as an issue.
