6:30

[desiderata]

For going on a month now I have been waking up near 6:30 a.m. and usually get up for the day. This would not be bad if I worked a typical shift but the earliest I get home from work is 12:30 a.m. and don't get to bed before 2:00 a.m. I am o.k. for most of my day but later into my work night I poop out and my drive home really concerns me. I see my doctor tomorrow and will discuss this with him. I think an underlying problem is the need to get things done and that sleep is getting in the way. I know this is irrational but it is anxiety that is winning this battle right now.

What tools do you have to manage your anxiety at this point, desiderata?

I am taking meds and am working on self-acceptance in therapy.

when i work evenings i too cannot shut down after work it is hard to get the brain to relax Instead of staying up try getting a hot bath and a warm drink then go into bed even if you don't feel like it Rest is just as important even if you don't sleep you are resting
I hope your doc can help you decrease some of your anxiety some hugs
