Whenever my husband is away, I literally cannot sleep. Even if I was up from anxiety the night before, I can’t sleep. I have always had anxiety around not being able to fall asleep, but ever since I had my son (he’s almost 2), I go into panic mode when my husband is away. It is almost like my “mom brain” won’t let me sleep because I am the only one here for my son. 
My husband will be away on business all next week, and I am absolutely terrified. We have been discussing option and planning to help ease my mind, but I am so, so scared that I won’t sleep. I work full time as well, so there is added stress about being tired at work, especially because I’m a teacher. 
My parents are actually coming to stay with me, but I am even more stressed about feeling bad about asking them to stay. 
I am on anxiety medication, and I have a lot of tools in my “anxiety toolbox,” so I’m hoping I can get through this. 
I guess I’m just wondering if anyone else struggles with similar sleep anxiety, and how in the world do you get through it?
