Unfortunately the story of my adult life. After 16, I started having sleep problems. I usually have no sleeping pattern (particularly since the lockdown as I can work from home anytime). There could be 5 continuous days in which I don't get more than 4.5 hours sleep. Which causes a lot of problem. Irritation, tiredness, anxiety etc. It does get fine once in a while but the problem recurs again and again. At least has since last 18 years. Do you mediate Aj? Even 15mins a day can make a big difference to make up for the lack of normal sleeping hours. Or even if you just lie in Shavasana pose for 15 - 20 mins and focus on the breath. This may ease the irritation you feel from not having slept. I don't think I have even ever tried to mediate, TC. I don't think I have ability to concentrate. If I watch a movie I see it by taking 15-20 breaks. Sports is the only thing that holds my concentration. I am unable to make up my mind firmly about anything and usually worry a lot. I am almost scared that I will not be able to sleep. If there is a disturbance in middle of sleep then I am unable to sleep again.

Concentration of sitting and breath and mind is something that needs to be practiced. Why don't you start of with 5mins, that is not a lot to ask and then you can see how you go and increase the time. Rome wasn't built in a day.
That's so hilarious. I didn't realise your typo and even I committed the same typo. When I wrote mediate even I meant meditate and didn't notice your typo.

That's so hilarious. I didn't realise your typo and even I committed the same typo. When I wrote mediate even I meant meditate and didn't notice your typo. We read fast and it is only really the first few letters that starts the word and what ends the word that the meaning can still be clearly conveyed.
interesting. the only word my mind didnt immediatelt pick up on was simple. that one i had to intentionally focus on decoding. |

hi aj  i crave nine hours per night. I ususally get eight. But probably 3/7 of the week I get seven. Nine hours of sleep is my ideal amount as well! I love to sleep. |

About 7–8.
I remember when I was 17 years old I went to bed at 10 p.m. after returning from a long flight not having slept the day before (so I was awake for over a day and a half), and did not wake up until 3 p.m. the following afternoon: so.. 17 hours’ sleep!
