Is Your Sleeping Partner A Restless Sleeper?
The Stories We Tell Ourselves
While you were waiting for your partner to come home, you started to feel anxious and restless. Your mind started to race and you couldn't relax. You started to think about all the things that could have happened to them and you started to worry that they were hurt or in danger. These thoughts made it impossible for you to fall asleep. If you find yourself in this situation often, it's important to remember that you are not alone. Many people experience anxiety and restlessness when their partner is not home. There are a few things that you can do to help manage your anxiety and get a good night's sleep:
1. Talk to your partner about your feelings.
Let them know that you feel anxious when they are not home. This will help them to understand your perspective and it may also help them to be more understanding of your need for reassurance. Simply knowing that your partner is aware of this may help you to manage your feelings of anxiety.
2. Create a relaxing bedtime routine.
This could include taking a warm bath, reading a book, or listening to calming music. Avoid watching TV or working on the computer before bed, as this can make it more difficult to fall asleep.
3. Get regular exercise.
Exercise can help to reduce stress and anxiety. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. If you are not used to exercising, start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts.
