So I was quite optimistic about the new Pure Sleep app I got to help induce deep sleep but after an hour and a half it didn't actually do anything, I had better luck going off to sleep with Jon Kabat-Zinn - Guided Mindfulness Meditation so I think I'll do that again tonight.
I've also switched the Sertraline to mornings again in the hope that it will help with sleeping, even though taking it at 6pm hasn't seem to had any effect on sleep in the last 2 or 3 weeks.

Insomnia sets in and meditation update
Well the last few nights I have seemed to caught the insomnia bug, I seem to fall a sleep but wake around 3-4am and then cannot get back to sleep! Today I have been mega tired but I am positive that I am going to get a great nights sleep tonight!
Any way, before going to sleep last night I listened to Jon Kabat-Zinn - Guided Mindfulness Meditation, the Body Scan CD and it really helped to relax me, I'd urge you to try it out if you haven't already it was brilliant stuff!

An anxious day and rough night
SO yesterday my anxiety levels were quite high for most of the day but had a great evening! The only problem was the fact that I didn't sleep very well, it felt like I had been awake all night but I must have gone to sleep because I remember dreaming but I'm not sure how much sleep I actually had. Today this was worrying me as I always sleep really well, what doesn't help is that I need to go to the toilet in the middle of the night then I go back to bed and can't get back to sleep.
I'm not gonna obsess over sleeping, I'll just try and relax and clear my mind, I'm going to try the meditation tonight so hopefully that works!
