An exercise to leave me calm and ready to sleep last night instead left me heading for a panic attack and having to fight it off and go to sleep with the radio on. I managed to avoid the panic attack by telling myself it was just an attack instead of something else. Of course it's not really that simple since I'm telling myself that for 30-45 minutes, or more, with the radio on to try distracting me as well while I lie in bed trying to get to sleep.
Spending most of the night with the radio on is not good for my quality of sleep. I slept in until nine this morning, we'll see how I am today.
edit: Let this post sit for a while before publishing. It's not even 90 minutes after getting out of bed and I feel like I will just fall asleep. I have a hard time letting myself just take a nap, which contributes to anxiety as my adrenaline goes to try to keep me awake until a proper bedtime.
