How can I sleep more since my marriage problems started?

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010 and filed under marriage problems | 10 Comments »

For the last 19 days I have slept 3 to 5 hours per night – I need to sleep more. What can I do? My wife left and I am distraught. I’m going to counseling but when I am home I can not sleep but a few hours…
HELP!

19 days? Time heals, but if you truly loved her, this is not enough time. Stop thinking so much about the negative things involved. The bottom line, YOU are keeping yourself from sleeping. Morn your loss, but then stop the self pity and get moving on living your life. No one else is responsible for making you happy. Spend time with family and friends and by all means, DO NOT focus on all your sorrows in your conversations, only as needed and with some level of control if you find that is all your talking about, then move on to happier subjects as not to leave your listener with too much of your grief. They need to know there you have strength in you as well and together you can get through this easier and faster. People are much more willing to help those who are willing to help themselves as well.

    Dude, you are NOT alone.

    1. Exercise. Nothing does more for your self-esteem, health and well being than naturally released endorphins. Do it.

    2. Read. There are great resources for men who have been what you are through. There are a lot of sad stories, don’t read too many of those.

    3. Talk. Find a REAL friend who is a good listener. We are trained as boys not to show our emotions…that’s crap. Find a friend, group, or therapist who cares.

    4. Get out and be busy. During idle time our minds wander. Go out, have fun and focus on your health, wealth and well-being.

    You are a great guy and deserve the BEST life has to offer! (see resources)

    Have you ever tried a sleep aide?
    It sounds like you have chronic sleeping problems.
    Perhaps you can see a doctor about it. I sometimes like to drink chamomile tea at night to get that ’sleepy’ feeling.
