Really struggling with sleep

Really struggling with sleep

Only recently got our two young kids to sleep mostly through the night apart from maybe once or twice, and to be honest the 4 yo has only ever slept through the night a small handful of times in life up until now he’s been more challenging than the baby but anyway so back to me

now I can’t sleep
I just can’t no matter what I do no matter what sleep routine or anything like that I try and I am just awake all night and it’s been like this all week I haven’t slept in a few days

what can I do

Re: Really struggling with sleep

Hi @ArraDreaming,

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble sleeping. I had bad insomnia for the last 5 years, It has affected all parts of my life, family, work etc. I started meditating before bed, just being in the present moment in a quiet place and being grateful for what I had cleared my mind. Reading a book before bed also helped. You could try these methods and see if it helps with your sleep. I hope you find a sleep routine that works for you, take care.
