For years I've had trouble with this, I can't sleep if I have a friend staying over in my room...or if I can, I wake up a million times in the night and I'm exhausted the next day! It's not that I don't trust them, it's just more anxiety I guess, caused by something around me being different. Does anyone else have this problem?
Anyway, (this is crazy, I know) over Christmas we're having guests stay in our spare room, so my pet bird has to stay in my room for about a week. And I really cannot sleep with this darn creature in here! I wake up, and she's just staring at me. It's creepy! Any ideas on how I can calm down and just sleep normally?
