"There may be a psychological element too! For years I had problems sleeping until the night I thought "It hasn't killed me yet" - went back to sleep and since then, rarely any problems."
Along slightly similar lines to yourself, CLKD, yesterday evening whenever a worry started to raise its ugly head - as it often does towards bed time - I told myself that "monsters often seem bigger at night" and made myself put that worry away. So I didn't have an anxious evening, nor did I go to sleep feeling anxious, I've just had a pretty good night and I feel rested enough to be writing coherently on here at 6.36am, having made a nice cuppa! I'll be trying that one again, that's for sure.

(15 mins. later) - Was just relaxing downstairs with said cuppa and MM when I heard creaking upstairs. Hmm. Seems I had woken Hubby up. He then came and said he was wondering where I was and I had to explain that I just wanted a bit of me-time. After about ten minutes, I felt guilty enough to go back upstairs with my cuppa. When I got there, I saw he was dozing off again, so I told him I'd come back upstairs to be with him, as he was missing me. But he just grunted sleepily and asked me if I minded if he went back to sleep......so here I am again, back downstairs, on MM, finishing my cuppa and this time listening to some nice music! Men - I ask you!
