I don't know about you but my sleep cycles. Sometimes it's due to my pain levels and sometimes it's not.
I can have periods where my sleep is "normal" meaning that although I do have difficulty falling and staying asleep, I get enough to allow me to function.
Then I have another cycle, where all I want to do is sleep... seems I can't get enough of it.
And then there's the one I'm in now...where I can't sleep at all. Even though my body is aching and my brain is mush, I'm struggling to fall asleep.
Visualization for relaxation has been my saving grace through this. Picturing the sights and sounds of the beach has my body relaxed...and my thoughts are settled. When I can't sleep or my body is raging against me...this helps me to get through the pain until the cycle changes again.
I'm taking some time for me to rest and recover today. I will not be posting any articles of interest and I'll see you all tomorrow.
Have a good day and take good care of you.
