Thankyou Cassidy,

I definitely need to stop obsessing and I am going to try hard to do so. The thing is, I know I shouldn't compare myself to others but i know I am doing a lot better than many of the people here. Every night I always at least get my core sleep of 5.5 hours. It is just when I wake up I tend to sometimes fall asleep again and sometimes not. The last two nights I have woken and been quite relaxed and not worrying at all actually and have sort of drifted in and out of sleep (you know that sleep when you are aware you are awake and then suddently you're not sure?).

Anyway. I also worry a lot about the way this lack of sleep is making me look - I ask my fiance every single day! Plus, I am getting married in September so of course I want to look my best so I guess I worry about that too. I think I just need to stop obsessing - get tough with myself just like you did.

I am finding it also too hard to work on these programs for improving sleep. I think I am just going to focus on those chapters which are about negative thoughts, rather than following any sleep restriction or whatever. I don't think they will help me.

Thankyou again Cassidy!
