A trick I pull on myself….most employers allow you paycheck to send money to several different accounts. Send money out of your paycheck directly to an account that is harder to draw money from. That little bit of separation works for me.

You can have emotions without displaying them to everyone. You can be sad without crying, angry without screaming, etc.

I think it's important to mention that this is directed at people that have sleep problems in general. If you sleep well overall it's a non factor.

If like me sleep is up and down it becomes invaluable.

When I wake up during the night, I do not want to know the time, ever. My brain will automatically go to how many hours/minutes I have left to sleep and wether or not it's adequate rest based on when I fell asleep. If it's not I will lay there in commiseration. For me ignorance is bliss regarding time of night.

I set the alarm, turn the clock around so I can see it. Good to go after that.

Non work days with no alarm set I do the same thing 🙂💤🛌

If I check the time I start to spiral. Like “ok, if I fall asleep RIGHT NOW, I’ll still get 4 hours. Ok… and… GO! That didn’t work. But if I fall asleep NOW, I’ll still get 3 1/2, which is still decent. And…. GO!”

It’s best if I don’t know.

Out loud. And after saying it take a moment to acknowledge what you just said.

Agree. I just share something general like "i had a problem and they solved it for me. Excellent service." Etc.

Disregard anyone that gives you shit for being yourself and true to your feelings. Don't change for garbage people.

I turn up the volume so I CAN'T hear whatever I'm scrapping, grinding or dragging behind my vehicle.

Yeah, OP's concern screams out that he/she is surrounding him/herself with shitty people.

Edit: Oh, and read The Four Agreements. It's a short book and an easy read even if you're not into reading.

It was great they gave me free stuff to fix my issue. Is that any better?

I’m with you, OP.

I used to think like everyone else who has posted to the contrary.

But not watching the clock has never resulted in what they fear will happen.

It’s resulted in not having the stress that comes from it and I sleep like a baby now.

My guy, gal, or other, emotions aren't the problem. If you get too good at hiding them, they go away. It takes all the joy out of life. The sky loses color, food has taste, and you can't even work up the emotion to feel bad about it. You become a shell of a human being.

I ended going to therapy to relearn how to feel emotions. They'll still be there, under the surface, building pressure like a volcano. Maybe you'll get a minor eruption and feel for a half hour, or maybe it'll be the equivalent of Vesuvius, catastrophically damaging all parts of your life. Don't let the pressure build.

Your emotions aren't the problem, it's the people around you. Emotions are healthy and wonderful, even if they're not always pleasant.
