I know this will not help you, but stressing about sleep is a vicious cycle which does not help.

I used to be much more anxious about sleep — and life in general — but I have leaned that if I don’t sleep that is fine. Life goes on, the body gets what the body needs, and I should focus on living instead of sleeping.

Being active, spending time with friends, going outside for walks, laughing, and taking the world as it comes to me has done more for my sleep than reading studies or buying stuff (outside of a tempurpedic matress and solid oak frame).

Fortunately, I did learn early on that stressing about sleep, especially as I lie awake in bed, was making things worse.
