Yesterday, my online T shared a sleep link with me. It triggered me. The article started off with all this research on how poor sleep causes health problems like dementia and alzheimers. After about three pages of this, it offered 9 tips. The tips weren't very realistic. They were like many sleeping tips. No TV before bed. No screen time before bed. No exercise or food before bed. No naps during the day. Sun light in the morning.

I think I had every right to be upset by this. I made it clear to my T that the article was disturbing. Now I'm still upset. I couldn't sleep well last night like usual. And now I'm worried about harmful effects. I'm trying to tell myself that it's just someone's stupid opinion. Just like "red meat kills" and "sausage is a carcinogen." I like to think that if someone worries about it, then they make themselves ill.

So how do I stop worrying about it? Do you have sleep issues? How do you deal with it?
