For the most part, I have no major issues with sleep. However, on any occasion where I have something critical / important to do the next day, I often find that I struggle to sleep. There are occasions where I simply do not sleep at all or just manage 1-3 hours. If I wake up during the night then it's almost impossible for me to get back to sleep. This is clearly psychological but try as I may to be calm, as I watch the minutes / hours roll by, I get more and more worked up.
The same thing can also happen to me on holiday. On a recent cruise, one night before a port day, I couldn't get to sleep and was up all night. The following 3 nights thereafter I only managed between 1-4 hours and was frequently waking up.
I am wondering what do to and if anybody has any suggestions? I am going to speak to my doctor to see if they can prescribe something for me to use in the case of recurring nights without sleep. I have tried the OTC medication and it has very little effect.
Thanks in advance.
