husbands test

Posted by nosleepforme on June 10, 2004 at 08:04:52:

OK, here I am again.
My husband has pretty much dared me to try this.

See I never had problems sleeping before, never.
But ever since this started in OCt 2002, with that horendous drama at church and the fear of it, it has taken over my life.

My husband thinks that I am obsessing too much over this, and I agree with him. I continually stay on the internet looking for the miracle "cure" to this. I have done everything and looked up everything.

I even thought that I had some rare disease called "Fatal Insomnia".

So here is the test - go for 2 weeks without looking up anything on the internet concerning sleep, insomnia, etc. Do no research, and really try my best to not even think about it. He did tell me it was ok to do postive affirmations, but I am going to try some that dont speak of sleep, ones like - I am peaceful, I am happy etc.

It is like he said, I never had to do anything before to sleep, I just slept. The more I obsess over it and research it, the more I am planting it in my head and the way he says it, I am just spinning my wheels, going nowhere. He said that he has noticed that when I start "researching" again is when my sleep gets worse.

I know he makes sense, so here goes. . .
wish me luck
