What is keeping you awake at night?
Uncertainty?
Fear?
something else like... 'Confession Lag'?
Okay, 'Confession Lag' is when you spend 3 nights not sleeping and then try to sleep as usual. It's kind of like jet lag in that your circadian rhythms have been upset by staying up all the night when your body thinks it was going to be sleeping.

Some people find talking through things like Uncertainty and Fear diminishes their effect. Certainly being able to come up with a name for this monster/pest/bug is a great start. Call it anything that suits and then start talking about it.

Physically, you could also Google 'sleep hygiene' and you will get some good tips about getting your body back in sleep synch. It is confused! It was deprived of sleep for 3 nights!
