I am experiencing what I calling the groundhog
Every night it's the same thing....doesn't matter how relaxed I make myself before I go to bed I simply cannot fall sleep easily.
I go to bed around 11pm. From my bed I can hear the bells from the Southwark Cathedral (which it's located around four blocks away from home). I try to relax, I pray, I try and clean my mind and suddenly the church bells announce 12am. One hour trying to sleep. I then try again to clean my mind, try and relax, and again the church bells announce 1am. Two hours, TWO hours trying to fall sleep.
I have the longest and most tiring days at work. I get home at night from work exhausted. My days are filled with lots and lots of emails, paperwork, reporting figures, meetings, performance managing... By the time I get home at 7pm..sometimes 8pm I am nearly dead. I then take around 1 to 2 hours to write and engage with my readers, respond emails, answer interviews for bloggers and websites... but, doesn't matter how tired and exhausted I am I simply cannot sleep.
I tried chamomile tea before bed, I tried not eating anything...I tried having a shower two hours before going to bed (so the shower doesn't awake my mind just before bed), I tried the opposite of all of these steps... It doesn't matter what I do. 11pm I go to bed and face the groundhog nights.
The most intriguing thing is the dreams I am having. I am having very vivid dreams with medieval scenes... One night I had a dream with woman (who I believe been witches) in a medieval era being burnt alive! YES, burnt alive ----- in my dream! Don't ask! Either my mind it's a very creative one, or I am going completely mad or...I am having some sort of past lives recall..
If you have any tips on; how to fall asleep as soon as you go to bed or...what these dreams mean please let me know =)
