Hello
Day time is now much better, but I still find nighttime difficult. From about 7pm onwards I feel lightheaded and horrid (alot to do with shear exhaustion I think). When I'm in bed I continue feeling lightheaded but am happy to read my book until I almost fall asleep. However the minute I put the light out, the lightheadedness gets worse and I get anxious. I've read that if you can't sleep you should leave the bedroom and do something else. I've also read that if your feeling anxious in a situation you shouldn't leave it as it will make the anxiety worse next time. So what do I do - leave the bedroom or stay and work through the anxiety?? I'm just so tired and fed up of not sleeping!
Thanks
Love Helen
