I am not naturally a night person. Once I fall asleep I can usually sleep for 10-12 hours. This staying up late has been really affecting me physically as well as mentally. I could be happy doing activities for hours, but it doesn't take away my problem, I still have to sleep at some point, and all those emotions and fears are still waiting for me when I do. The idea of having to fall asleep twice in a night is not pleasant

I like your idea of not fighting it, but I am probably taking it in a slightly different way than you meant. I've been fighting the feelings and emotions that come up, thus doing activities to keep them at bay. Perhaps there is a way I can just let them come, but not allow myself to believe them. I'll have to work on that.

Thanks for the suggestions,
IJ
