Worrying about not being able to sleep, only added to the pain and stress that was already keeping me awake for days on end.
I stopped focusing on anything to do with sleep and asked my body to allow me to rest so I could heal. When I stopped demanding sleep from myself, the stress fell off me like a pair of pants 5 sizes to big for me.
An hour or two before I want to unwind, I put the Sleep Pillow app on in the back ground, of whatever else I’m doing.
This helps me enter a more relaxed state. Even if I do not achieve sleep, the rythmic sounds of nature lull me into a restorative resting state. Pain eases up and my mind slows down. When I do doze off for 10-20 minutes, I wake feeling like I slept for hours, because I stopped stressing out over not being able to sleep. I gave my body permission to do whatever it needs to do. All, I asked, of myself, is that I achieve enough rest for my body to heal, so I can function and live my life. I’m still a severe insomniac, but I am much calmer, more productive and much, much happier. Thanks for this little app. It is helping me take the first steps toward sleep fitness.
