Bedtime rituals
Wondering if anyone deals, or has dealt with this as well? Before I go to bed I check every cabinet, piece of furniture, box, closet, and room in the house. I do this out of fear that someone could try to hide or break into my house. After this I will proceed to check the locks into my house multiple times, and will also make sure they are "actually locked". Couple this with the fact that I feel as if I have to pee at least 10x before I actually sleep. Now I give 10 as just a reference, it really just until it feel right. When I do this I feel like I also have to check my room again because something could've changed from the time I went to the bathroom and the time l'm going to lay back down. This whole process kills my sleep because it completely wakes me up. It's just a cycle up doing the rituals, trying to sleep, feeling like I need to do the ritual again, stressing I won't get a certain amount of sleep and so on.
