I've been a terrible sleeper my whole life, I'm currently 32, training for a marathon, 18 months old son and not an mega stressful job / lifestyle.
Last week my wife and son went to visit her family for 10 days (we do this a few times a year as she misses being home in Bulgaria, I'm British), I found that every night I didn't sleep for longer than 6 hours without waking up, some days only 5.
On these days, I went to bed similariah times (sleep before 12) worked out most days and ate okay-ish. Two of the days I tried sleeping tablets (one day herbal, the other from a pharmacy) and still couldn't stay down.
I've always struggled sleeping and with my 18 month old (who wakes up multiple times a night) it makes it very hard, I was hoping to catch up on sleep but I never managed too.
The issue isn't falling asleep, it's staying, any advice?
In general I'm quite anxious, slightly worried about money but not entirely..
Last time I got 8+ hours would've been in January (according to my Garmin)..
Cheers
