I decided not to force myself sleep on nights I can't sleep if there're not any plans the next day.
Lately, there have been many days I want to sleep but cannot fall asleep. I think most people have experienced it, but not being able to sleep when I want to is really stressful... so, I decided not to force myself sleep on nights I can't sleep.
ここのところ寝たいのに眠れない日がよくある。経験ある人がほとんどだと思うけど、寝たいのに眠れないってそれ自体がめちゃくちゃストレスで・・・ってことで、眠れない夜に無理に寝るのをやめることにした。
In case of my work.
In my case, there's no set time for starting to work or finishing work, and as long as I don't have any external appointments, I can sleep whenever I want. Of course, if there was any plan scheduled, then I would have to wake up at that time, but maybe that's the only constraint?
It's wonder that I can't sleep even when I'm sleepy (because I'm not in a situation where I can sleep), that makes me not feel that much stress. But when I want to sleep and can't, that's when the real stress kicks in.
自分の場合は仕事も何時に出勤して何時に退勤して・・・みたいなのがないし、対外的な予定さえ入っていなければ別に好きな時に眠っていればいい。もちろんなんか予定が入っていたらその時間には起きていなければいけないわけだけど、制約といったらそのくらいか？
不思議なもので眠いのに寝れない（寝れる状況じゃない）のはそんなにストレス感じないのに、寝たいのに眠れないのはほんとストレスなんだよなぁ。
So, by just accepting that this is good enough, maybe I can be freed from the stress of having to sleep when I can't sleep.
By the way, when I have some plans the next day and can't sleep, I sometimes just close my eyes and rest. However, if I don't have any specific plans, I try to do things I want to do or try working until I get sleepy, or I stay awake until the schedule is finished, and then sometimes I just fall asleep right afterwards.
I'm trying various things in that way.
ということでこれでいいやって割り切っちゃうことで、眠れないのに寝なきゃいけない・・・みたいなストレスから解放されないかなと。
ちなみに翌日に予定が入っている時は寝れなかったらとりあえず目を瞑って休んでることもあります。ただ特に予定がないようなら、眠くなるまでやりたいことやったり仕事してみたり。予定が終わるまで起き続けて、終わっらそのまま寝ちゃったり。
そんな感じでいろいろ試行錯誤しています。
