Back at the end of September to the beginning of October I had a week where I couldn't sleep for more than 1-3 hours. Since then, I've slept relatively well (not as well as before, but okayish). I do still wake up in the middle of the night but I've been finding it easier and easier to fall back asleep.



However, my anxiety about sleeping isn't going away at all. Thoughts like "what if I revert to not being able to sleep again" keep popping into my brain. I also worry about the health consequences of not sleeping enough. I keep reminding myself that people with insomnia live with little sleep for decades but the anxiety persists.




Has anyone experienced this? If so, how do you cope? I know I should see a therapist, but it's not an option for me at the moment.
