Ditch Checking the Clock at Night
Staring at a clock in your bedroom, either when you are trying to fall asleep or when you wake in the middle of the night, can actually increase stress, making it harder to fall asleep. Turn your clock’s face away from you. And if you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep in about 20 minutes, get up and engage in a quiet, restful activity such as reading or listening to music. And keep the lights dim; bright light can stimulate your internal clock. When your eyelids are drooping and you are ready to sleep, return to bed.

So true. This is my worst nightmare, as I then start to think about the number of hours until I have to wake up
Thanks for the comment, Camille. I can relate to your comment. Mastering the mind, the final frontier, LOL. Have a great day. Ray
