I had a grand total of 1 hour’s worth of sleep last night. I went to bed feeling tired and ready for a good night sleep, but as soon as my head hit the pillow my brain switched on and it felt like a storm of thoughts inside my head.
I was feeling a little anxious because I had to wake up early to catch a train this morning, and I didn’t want to miss it. Which lead to worrying about not getting enough sleep and being tired at work. Then I started worrying about a performance review meeting I had at work today, thinking about what kind of feedback I would get. Somehow, that turned into a review of every single embarrassing moment of my life, one after the other and all at once, all the way to when I was six years old and a primary school teacher didn’t believe I was sick and called me a liar.
So my question is: does this happen to anyone else? Have you got any tips?
