Does anyone have any strategies to clear your mind of your diagnosis and get a decent nights sleep. I’m waking up throughout the night and my mind goes into overdrive
Hi, I listen to a podcast on my iPad. Distracts the mind and I fall asleep and never get to the end. I do have it on a low volume. This time will pass but most of us have been there.
Dr Amir Khan talked about cognitive shuffling on Instagram this week which involves thinking of words and visualising them. I’ve tried it twice since, got me back to sleep one time but not the other. Might be worth a try. Radio/podcasts work well for me too but involve moving to another room so as not to wake my husband. I need to listen to something interesting enough that I don’t get annoyed or go back to stressy thoughts but not so interesting that it keeps me awake.
