I’m so stressed out I can’t sleep

I’m freaking out and can’t sleep. My husband just told me when they call me to schedule my bladder surgery I have to tell them I need an appointment later in the day because he might fall asleep at the wheel if it’s early. Plus, I’m afraid to know what’s wrong. I can’t sleep like this

I’m sorry @LilyoftheValley . Maybe hang out on the forum and see if it gets you tired enough to fall asleep eventually.

Not even with your new pills you cant fall asleep, huh?

No. I’m extra stressed.

If you could distract yourself, you might relax.

I can understand that considering your current circumstances. I’m not sure what to recommend to help, since last time you said you don’t have many hobbies. TV, Forum and Gym, I think you said. Can’t really do the gym thing this time of night. Did you try the bath thing to relax you like someone else recommended? Maybe this would be a good time for that?

My husband can’t sleep if I’m not in bed. Any suggestions of what I can do silently in bed?

Just browsing the forum I guess. Maybe look at some others topics.

Yes. I took a bath. It didn’t help but I don’t have anything for suds in the tub. Maybe tomorrow I can buy some gentle natural bath bombs or something like it

Well, you’re welcome to pm me if you get bored, but you might have a better convo on the public board. All I talk about is guitar, diabetes, weight loss and the forum :laughing:.

Imma do a couple run throughs of “Greensleeves”, but I’ll be back on after that, if the board gets slow.

Might I suggest reading a textbook on a subject that is tedious or boring for you? It used to work for me when I was in school.

Yes! Good idea. I got rid of my textbooks, but I can still look for something along those lines

Just checking up on you. Are you feeling any better, @LilyoftheValley ?

You might be in bed now.

Oh no I hate it when I can’t sleep. Sometimes having a healthy snack helps me to get a little more tired.

Also when I force my eyes shut it doesn’t help. I just keep them open then they are more likely to fall asleep.
