For about a week every month I struggle to sleep. Iām pretty sure itās hormonal, pms symptom maybe. Iām wide awake at nearly 4am and every time I close my eyes, my brain goes into over drive thinking of any possible thing to cause anxiety and my usual tactics to block them out and divert my thoughts donāt work and I also feel fidgety and like my bed is super uncomfortable. I have to literally force myself to stay still enough to drop off. I do often get to sleep, eventually but Iām not sure if thereās even any point in trying at this point. Does anyone else get this?? I googled and it does seem to be a thing and not something thatās in my head. A lot of people get fatigue during pms but not being able to sleep/insomnia isnāt talked about it as much it seems. I know itāll catch up with me tomorrow, hence why I usually force myself to bed. But with the lockdown im kinda thinking whatās the point I donāt even have anywhere to go tomorrow, although it is my turn to get up with the children. But again, my dilemma is would it be easier to sleep for a couple of hours and wake up with them or just stay awake?
Ugh, sorry for the ramble. Whether I get a measly few hours sleep or not, tomorrow is going to be a long day.
