According to the book, this would be the goal: blocking out every single light source, even the ones from for example a DVD player.

Polonel said:I'm really tired, because of a lack of proper sleep.
For 3 months. It started during a stressful period, when I was looking for a job. I found one two months ago, and it really is not stressful. Besides that, nope... Everything is sorting out slowly in my personal life, my evil flatmate is finally leaving in a few weeks, this new job is providing a steady source of income, life's sweet. I'm actualy anxious about my sleep problemsGertrudes said:Since when have you been having these sleep problems Polonel? And have you been particularly stressed out or anxious about something lately?

As written above, I'm not anxious, I'm just worried about this issue. Regarding the thought loops, it can be about anything : things I've planned to do, a book I read... But most of the time, it's completely abstract, a white noise, like TV static.Alada said:That's what I was wondering too, a little more background might help others to add some input. Do you have much anxiety, what sort of thought loops come along, how much physical activity do you get during the day, do you notice any physical tension in the body? That kind of thing.

Not yet, my health care wasn't up-to-date and I received my papers today, 2 months late. I'll check this week. I had chronic infections for years, but ascorbic acid completely changed the deal. Now it's just this, but it's not healing.Gertrudes said:Polonel said:my neck is a little bit tense on the right side.

Mmmm, have you checked this with a doctor?
Polonel said:I'm really tired, because of a lack of proper sleep.
I wake up every night, and I'm having a hard time to fall asleep again : my brain is filled with "static" and "thought loops", and it's almost impossible to stop this before falling asleep again, but from exhaustion. I'm relieved when my alarm clock buzzes.
I've installed blackout curtains in my bedroom (the model name of these curtains, in the shop, is "Cassiopée" !), the bedroom is now almost pitch black. There's no EM devices in it. I dim the lights before bedtime, I installed f.lux on my computer. I also tried some supplements, like 5-HTP, L-Tryptophan, GABA, and melatonin. They helped a bit, but I'm very far from a complete night of sleep.
I follow a low carb diet since 6 weeks now, and I have at least one session of pipe breathing and PotS every day, But the lack of sleep seriously damages the efficiency of the later...

That wasn't worth the week of constipation...
