I am suffering badly from insomnia, and it sucks. It started last week and I feel like a zombie. My wife said I should just chill out watch a few movies. I wish it was that simple. I am football (soccer) crazy but my team has been kneeling with the BLM bullshit. I actually canceled sky sports at the start of July and saved a bit of money as well. Anyway, I digress. Are there any frens out there with insomnia? You cannot un-know the shit we know. The whole world has gone crazy. 🙁🤡🤡.

My sleep was crazy f**ked up last year. Up all night, sleep all day. Also put a lot of weight on around my middle. Due to high anxiety. Managed to fix the sleep earlier this year and dropped the excess weight.
I have to quit the electronic/computer viewing about an hour before I sleep then go to bed and read a novel or something.
Yes I am feeling a lot of anxiety. It has not gone away. Which is why I am adhering to strict nutritional protocols and making sure to exercise several days a week. When we are feeling this way it becomes CRITICAL to take extra good care of yourself.
Yes, indeed. I look pregnant right now 🙁. I have to get a gym membership and stop putting it off. It's so easy to be lazy and eat crappy saturated fat rubbish. It doesn't help that all these food places now have the uber eats and deliveroo. Junk straight to your doorstep. 👎
A huge part of the problem was anxiety nibbling on crap.
Part of my nutritional protocol is now intermittent fasting. I stop eating somewhere between 2 and 3:30 PM. That's it ! No more food for the day. Water, decaf tea and herb tea if I want it.
I get up somewhere around 5:30 AM to walk the dog. After I get home around 7:30 I have my first meal (breakfast raw veg salad with beans, raw onions, nuts and seeds). The beans do an amazing job of keeping me on an even keel. No more cravings. I hardly THINK about food now.
Also keeping myself busy with vegetable gardening. And squeezing in a workout in front of the TV. Have a library of workout videos. Our living room is a mini gym.
My husband and I have tightened up our nutritional protocols. Except for this one exception (our birthdays this month) we no longer eat out, and I'm cooking a hell of a lot more.
