Can't sleep again :0(

This is the 2nd night in a row this has happened, I fell like something's going on and I'm not being told.

Loverboy went to Paris on Friday so perhaps it's that.
It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun

    I was like that before Christmas. It's an awful feeling. I solved it by resigning from my job.

    Have you tried writing whats bothering you down on a peice of paper. Then you can tackle it in the morning?
    Man plans and God laughs...
    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

    That's the thing I think something's going on but I don't know what :0( perhaps it's just a phase and it will pass.

    Maybe a bit of free association and thinking might help you figure it out? Just sit somewhere and relax and jot down everything that comes to mind...

    That's a rather extreme cure for insomnia!

    Oh but it was worth it!!! All the sleepless night disappeared as soon as I made the decision! I did make sure that I had a new job to go to though.

    I wouldn't consider 2 nights of disturbed sleep to be insomnia, particularly if there's something you're worried about. What's bothering you about "loverboy" being away? Do you dislike being alone in the house at night or do you suspect he's cheating/drug smuggling or whatever?

    My DH works away a lot and I never sleep as well while he's gone - the house feels too big, creaky and isolated without him. I don't worry about it too much as I catch up again when he gets home.

    Don't mean to be nitpicky... but OP didn't claim she had insomnia, only that she had had two nights of poor sleep.

    I haven't heard from him which is strange as he always stays in contact, but this is the first time this has happened :0( Perhaps I need to relax.

    Or perhaps you need to contact him?

    I can understand why you're worried then. My DH is great at keeping in touch as he knows how I panic! It wasn't always like that: It took some years for him to realise what meant "I'm busy, you should be asleep at this time, and you'd know if I'd been in an accident" to him, meant "He's lying dead in a ditch on the Mumbai-Pune expressway" to me!!
