I've never really suffered from it in my lifetime, but since lockdown, I've developed a horrible cycle of just not being able to sleep. I have tried going to bed early and not being able to drift off until silly o'clock then waking up at 4/5 o'clock and not being able to get back to sleep. Cut out caffeine during the afternoons, no booze, walking every day, no stodge yet feel like a zombie most of the day, but bedtime I can't switch off.
Anyone else suffering from it? |  |

Unless it's medical, you're just in a rut. You need to discipline yourself and force yourself to get up early every day no matter how little you've slept. Keep busy during the day and bury yourself with as much exercise as you can-more than just a walk. After a few days your body clock will come back to a decent cycle. The getting up bit is key but easier said than done.
Worked for me anyway. Feel your pain tho. |  |

I try and do around 5k a day. Think I will try and get up at 6 and go for a brisk 5k. Trouble is I might drop off on the sofa mid-afternoon and be back to square one. | |

I think it's a lack of routine at the moment. Usually, I work from home or out meeting with clients, but at the moment work is very stop-start home working. | |

Yeah, after hitting submit I realised I omitted "routine". even the most non-conformist types still follow a routine of sorts. It is that change that throws us. | |

Sorry for you Ebo.
Yours is the most important posting today. I don't have that problem but I'm guessing that lots of other people do. Good luck and god bless. |  |

Glyn mate, not trying to create offence but the world is starting to go to hell in a handcart and insomnia is the greatest issue to you...
You mad bro. | |

I’m terrible at sleeping, have been for years. I usually go to bed around midnight and the alarm goes off at 6. On a good night I’ll sleep for about three or four of those six hours. |  |

I’ve been exactly the same (not sleeping) since lockdown.
I’ve found having audio books on quietly helps. I’m not really listening- it’s more of a white noise type thing. |  | | |

Failing that, the Frankfurt school one |  | | |

I have gone in the opposite direction. Pre Covid-19 I was only spending two or three nights per week in my own bed and I was fairly sure then that it was impacting on sleep habits. Fast forward twelve weeks of sleeping at home and I’m regularly getting my seven hours a night. |  |

Whydya need the alarm then Clasie?
When I had insomnia, I went to the doctor and he gave me a shedfull of advice. I said to him that’s a lot to take in, and he said just go home and sleep on it. [Post edited 14 Jun 2020 10:56]

Videos of the Swans under Paul Clement will have you sleeping like the dead. Only trouble is you might not want to wake up again. |  |

Don't catnap in the afternoons,it'll fvck up your sleep pattern.
Other than that you seem to be doing all the right things.
Try not to worry or force your sleeping, it'll go back to normal by itself
Good luck. | | | |

A mate had the same problem as you ebo, he resorted to staying awake for as long as he could without being concerned about timeframes to get up etc. Obviously he went to sleep and slept for longer than he had for years. Another took a load of whiz and stayed up for three days and resorted back to a sleep pattern that suited him, I don’t advocate the latter. Not these days anyway. |  |

Get a couple of hounds and get yourself out in the fresh air. A lot of you on here don’t do physical jobs, you don’t get enough physical exercise to be properly tired. |  |

Um I would have thought a nice long bath, with scented candles and exotic oils, might be better
He could have a wash in there |  | | |
