My problem is that when I start observing my ”N1”, as I do when I’m in a cycle of low/bad sleep, I get worried I won’t reach deep recovery sleep. This really have become a bad pattern for me that is hard to break. I can spend a full night in and out of N1 sleep and be completely wasted the following day.

I seem to go through these cycles with 3-4 weeks of great sleep and roughly 2 weeks of getting stuck in N1, observing.

Really interesting things show up while in this state, but it’s thoroughly incompatible with three young children…
