Sleep Issue

Ok this is really pissing me off.

I can't sleep. And when I do sleep, I wake up at least 2 times in the night. So when I got up at 3am, I went online to research about this annoying "disorder" of mine. Its starting to affect my performance in the day as i yawned alot more and tend to feel sleepy even while training myself or my clients. I am so exhausted during the day and all i want is to sleep but once i get on the bed, I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO SLEEP!

Here's a very interesting link that may have helped me troubleshoot the issue.

My current sleep pattern:
11pm: In bed, toss and turn (I think after 30mins i fall asleep)
2am(ish): Wake up, check time, (sometimes toilet) and another 30mins trying to sleep.
4am(ish): Same as 2am ish.
5am: So a quick nap later, alarm goes off. Time to wake up for real. Sometimes hard to get up, most times easy to get up.

Total sleep time+ approx. 4-5 hours. (There's also less naps in the day)

My deductions:
1. Stress, Anxiety & Worry:

• Everytime I wake up I check my blackberry for the time. I see the mails/messages waiting to be read. I open them and start reading. I think then my brain starts working already. I don't reply emails but get concerned about smses of cancellation and reschedules. Stress/Anxiety?
• I am not able to check which days of the month i can or cannot sleep but this month is a tough month, missing sales budget and hours budget. Stress?

Now lets look at in a different view. Some will be quick to blame overtraining. Here's a link to overtraining syndrome:

The only signs i can relate to are:

1. Slower recovery after exercise
2. Increased irritability and depression

Sign no. 1 I take a significantly longer time to recover from my sore upper trap and triceps. This soreness was derived from friday's workout and today, approximately 3 and a half days later i still feel it. My usual recovery time would be 2 days max. its taking almost double time to recover.

If no. 1 was about the immediate recovery after exercise, then i don't think i have any issue on that.

Sign no. 2 I don't blame it on the moodswings of the menstruation as it was over last friday. I do feel easily annoyed by the slightest things and tend to be less sociable to get less chance to be annoyed by others.

Solution:

Buy an alarm clock, depend solely on it and switch off handphone throughout the night.

The anxiety part...... takes time to get rid of i guess.

Shi*. 1 and a half hours more to alarm. Crossfit at 7am.
