I find meditation helps a lot with the sleeping issues, but it does mean that if I forget to do it then I don't sleep well!
I can relate to being an arsehole on similar holidays, I hate the heat when you can't seem to get away from it. I hope you have some quiet time and not so arseholey days to come whilst you're away!
I have my in-laws visiting right now and they arrived the day my sister and her kids went home after their stay with us. They are all really lovely people who I like but I have felt like a constant arsehole. Then sometimes I'm not sure how much of my arseholery seeps through (urgh!) my veneer. Has my smile become a grimace? 😫
I try to avoid beaches but it’s hard when everyone else loves them. I don’t think I am able to not be an arsehole though. It is one of the worst sensory places to be. I try to suffer in secret silence but my usual flat face must look more miserable than usual haha What helps is having an escape - just someplace comfortable to go for a little bit and re-calibrate. Beaches are impossible! You can only hide in a book for so long before the inevitable overwhelm comes. Try to find a hospitable escape place and go back and forth between. Good luck!
