I don't post much but I need some help to destress!!!

I am to tired to do my homework (I am 35 and back in school fulltime) and too wired to sleep. Too stressed to concentrate.....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I often have trouble sleeping...and I know how you feel as far as being too tired to do homework. I had a professor who is a serious insomniac and he gave me some advice I will share...find something to do...anything, that you do not like (even reading a text book ...look at the bright side, maybe you will get some extra reading done). Do it until you are tired and ready to go back to bed. If you are reading, do not read in bed...I did this and wound up associating discomfort and 'thinking time' w/ my bed, and that made me not sleep for a couple of months. Sounds strange, maybe, but it has psychological validity. Do not lay awake for more than 10 to 15 minutes. If after that time you are not asleep, get out of bed. Don't stress about not being able to sleep either...it will just make it worse. What's the worst thing that could happen anyway, you are tired the next day? Just relax, get some reading done. DONT WATCH TV! I hope this helps. You must have a lot on your mind. Trust me, I understand...I can barely sleep w/ just school and work to worry about. Your wedding is very soon. Just take some time to relax. I hope you feel better.
