lol.
I managed to have a nap early yesterday afternoon so was still awake late last night. I do a body scan / become mindful of my body weight to relax myself and have a deep sleep. Worked a treat. Had so many years of not being able to sleep before I found mindfulness / meditation.
I beleive I have IBS as I'm very minful of my stomach rumblings. I'm on soup at the moment to find out if this helps ease. My diet leaves a lot to be desired.
CJ's story
Feel like even when I catch up on sleep it's not enough. I think when I was meditating and had less sleep, I felt more refreshed, so going to try find time to meditate more if I can. Focusing on not eating everything in the freezer these next few weeks also.
I've been getting a bit frustrated and annoyed with having to pick up other people's slack so hoping mindfulness can be of use here!

Been struggling with meditation, so plan b doing a bit more of mindfulness, but did find counting in between breaths to be helpful, something which I forgot and haven't done in a while.
I'm so pleased I found mindfulness though since about 5 years ago.

By 'mindfulness', presumably you are referring to body scans, walking meditation, mindful movement etc.?

I believe so. I used to be quite focused on the body scans which I do when I lie in bed, but get distracted by thoughts a lot more than I used to. Usually rude thoughts! I can't use earphones as the Mrs thinks I'm being ignorant also, so may need to do it when she's not in. Just thought as she's started doing nightshift, I can do them on a night time!
Had no issues getting to sleep of late with an annoying cat waking me up several times every night!
Anyone ever do a relaxation process to get to sleep and tell youself what time to wake up? A friend once told me this many years ago and it's quite accurate (I still set my alarm when need be though!).
