"sleep hygiene"

Sleep....ugh I know I need sleep when I yawn more and more during the day. Maybe it's because I'm home and nothing is making me to things physically. (like I could after surgery) anyways, sleep. I have had problems with sleeping long before being stuck at home. Anxiety, restlessness over the days activities...worring about things I just can't change. Maybe it's part of the depression or is that just an excuse for not following a good "sleep hygiene". I think I go to bed at a regular time (my husband is the one who sets this...otherwise, I would stay up all hours of the night if I'm honest.) We do sleep with the radio on low but we also have the white noise of the fan. I like to have a heavy afghan on my legs...not just for warmth but for weight. I think my sleep is effected by my dreams. I've been dreaming very vivid dreams. Is it the meds I taken or is it I'm open to thoughts? My counselor doesn't take dreams too seriously but I can't help to wonder if any of it has a reality base. I've realized I like the sleep aid that was prescribe. I like how I feel when I wake up. Maybe it's ok to feel good about waking up not tired and sad.
