I have not slept properly since the knock, my hub has been sentence and we now live the new normal.

Sleep when you can, it doesn't matter if you sleep in the day you will need it. My sleep is not perfect, it's the constant worrying of everything, I sleep when I can if that means a afternoon nap I take it.

I find having a warm bath, putting the phone away, reading a book helps.

I hope you do manage to get some sleep

Take care of you

Anne

Hi

im sorry you've had to come to the forum for support. None of us would choose to have to come here but it's a life saver to those of us that need it.

what your going through is normal. My son is the offender (communication). I never slept at all in the first week and then started sleeping a couple of hours a night. Fast forward eight months when he was sentenced to prison and I stopped sleeping for a week again. It's been over two years and I can honestly say I don't sleep more than five hours a night or less except occasionally when I sleep for around sixteen hours solid. I hate the effect thus has had on my sleep as I already had sleep issues before all this happened due to my mother passing away.

some ladies have managed to get their sleep pattern better but some have not and say they now feel such little sleep is their new normal. I fit into the latter. My advice would be the same as the previous post. Sleep when you can and just take one day at a time. Things in general do improve with time and hopefully as things improve you will be able to sleep a little better x
