Hello OutLifers!
This week I want to kick off a conversation about sleep.
I am a terrible sleeper and have long suffered with insomnia that keeps me awake until the wee hours. Night-time flies on the wall have the thrilling experience of watching me try 473 different sleeping positions, watch endless Star Trek re-runs, drink copious amounts of camomile tea, meditate on and off for hours, open all the windows, read very, very boring books, all in an attempt to lull myself to slumber.
It affects my life in many different ways: I'm often exhausted during the day, which not only makes it hard to work, but reduces my ability to manage my anxiety and depression quite significantly. This then makes it even harder to get to sleep the next day, and it become vicious cycle.
I'd be interested to know how sleep affects you and what your experiences are. Let's talk slumber!
