And I won't even have time to check this tomorrow or this week because I'm back at work. But; it's 1am and I can't sleep because I have to sleep because I have to be up at 6! Argh!!! I'm so frustrated at myself and needed to vent so you're all getting it.



But... because I'll be back at work and it will be manic; I won't even be able to log in until late late tomorrow so I'm annoyed at myself for posting and also because grrrr. I'm just annoyed. I have no one to tell, so you're getting it and now I'm annoyed because I'm telling you!



and now I'm annoyed at being annoyed for random reasons I shouldn't be annoyed at. How's your day going? Laughing emoji.



so annoyed!!!

Hi So tired, I can't sleep either. It's probably because you're going back to work. Have you been off long? The longer you're away , the harder it is to go back!! Good luck xx

Completely hear you on being annoyed that you're annoyed. Insomnia sucks. I hope that you have the best day possible today back at work. Extend some patience and kindness to yourself especially over the next few weeks while you adjust. You've got this xxx

Hope you managed to get some sleep and today goes well.



I think we make it worse for ourselves as we start to panic when we can't sleep and need to, which makes it worse. I find meditation sometimes helps as it relaxes the mind and breaks the cycle of "I can't sleep". Sometimes I just give in to it and read until my mind settles.

Ohh so tired, hope your first day back goes well despite the lack of sleep.

I feel your anger when you can't get to sleep, I argue with myself which angers me even more.

After a full busy day back at work Hopefully you will sleep soundly tonight. Xx

Oh my word it was gone 2 by the time I fell asleep and then up at 6! Zombie tonight! Thanks for the replies. Work went well, just like I've never been away within the first 10 mins! Haha
