Can't sleep with other people/things in the room...

[PaulaRubyLove]

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?

I have trouble sleeping if there if there is anything different about the room, sometimes my grandaughter stays with me and sleeps in the room, I just lay awake listerning to her breathing. If you bird is in a cage could you put a cover over it at night?Hope it goes ok.

Im exactly the same hate sleeping in a room with someone else.it even bugs me hearing my family in the night asleep through the wall. And i hate going to bed early when everyone else is still up as i can hear them downstairs. I don't know why it bothers me really. But i totally understand.

Thanks It's good to know I'm not alone I'll try covering her cage and see if that works.
