i have been talking with my therapist about the extreme difficulty i have been having staying out of bed during the day.

one thing he keeps suggesting is that i try to find a way to limit my napping without giving it up. Fighting the urge to sleep has been very stressful and exhausting in itself. While it is important for me to stay out of bed, my T thinks that i should also acknowledge that right now my body is really needing this because the urge is so strong.

I am just afraid that if i let down my guard i will end up in bed all day every day. he wants me to try to find a compromise, like setting a timer for one hour so that when i nap it will limit the amount of time i nap. I am willing to try this but it is quite likely that i would wake up and stop the alarm and then get back into bed if i am in that sort of "compromise" frame of mind.

this whole thing is a huge issue for me. the point my T makes is that it might help to find a compromise so that i am not fighting against myself every day.
