[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 565197, member: 14557"] Yes, I too am happy with sleep getting better. For him it's not even just anxiety thing. His profession really plays havoc with sleep. They (of course) have most of their games at evenings. After a game they are usually done their post-game things, media, showered, eaten and packing in little over an hour. After that it is often bus trip (or bus-plane-bus) home, anything from few hours to seven, eight hours. Napping at bus, being home most often at early morning hours, unpacking, going home, trying to get back to sleep etc. And at morning back for practise (after eating etc.) And even though they are of course home early after home games, adrenalin is not that quickly out of your system so getting sleep is difficult. And they usually have a couple games a week, at times even four. In fact sleep is one of the newest main interests of sport medicine around here. Athletes eat well already, they train well and very scientifically, sleep has been somewhat less thought of till now. And new studies have made it clear how important sleep is to well-being and also performance levels. And there are many sports that tend to have very challenging timetables. My difficult child's sport is one of those. His league luckily is not one of the worst because distances are not that big. But when you combine sleep difficulties based on occupation and sleep problems based on anxiety you of course get a difficult cocktail. Help with sleep is a huge thing in my books when it comes to difficult child. [/QUOTE]
