> I can't sleep well, trying to do everything in my power to make sure I get enough. Just a word of warning, I've experienced this becoming a bit of an obsession. I was losing sleep over not getting enough sleep. I'd bring the subject of sleep up in conversation a few times a week, making it almost part of my 'identity' that I was a bad sleeper, and I'm convinced this made it worse. For anyone who thinks they might have the same problem, my unqualified anecdotal advice would be: Don't tell people you're a bad sleeper, even if you are. Generally don't talk about it too much. Do define some sensible rules (e.g. consistent wake-up time, no snooze, etc) and follow them blindly for a month - don't allow yourself to review or change these rules for at least a month, or you'll be thinking about sleep too often. If you have a sleep monitoring device, definitely don't look at the data more than once a month.
