Northeastwrecks:Once you get into an insomnia cycle, it can be difficult to break. It seems to me that the larger my sleep deficit, the harder it is to get to sleep at an appropriate moment (sleeping in my office during the day is easy, but nonproductive).
With regard to chores, can you skip 'em for one night? Order take out and relax. The laundry will still be there in the morning.
With regard to the kids, is there any way that the kids could spend one night somewhere else, i.e., a sleepover or a night with the grandparents?
The idea is to minimize stress and outside stimuli for one evening so that you can get your sleep habits back on track. Once you're there, it'll probably be easier to stay there.
It all sounds so easy. I am going to be totally honest here folks. My house is a mess. It drives me nuts and then some.
My family all live along way away and I don't really have anyone in the town that I live in that the kids can go to. Just the way it is. I chose it.
I am thinking a great big cartoon mallet to the head!!! LOL
