I think for me it's a little bit of both. I think I'm using sleep as a coping technique and when I'm tired which seems more often these days. I do find that when there are stressful situations, all I want to do is curl up and go to sleep. For me it's like escapism from the difficulties of everyday life. It's creating a problem for me though because I'm not getting things done around the house and my husband is getting upset that I'm not able to do basic things. I feel really bad about that.
