Peter - Interview 19
>>
Peter would only go to his doctor about problems sleeping if he wasn’t able to do all the things he needed to during the day.
Peter sometimes finds it difficult to get to sleep and stay asleep because of a shoulder injury and lower back pain. He only very occasionally dozes off during the day, but sometimes might if he has been active, or has gone for a long run. Peter feels that there are times in his life when he has more to worry about, and this will most likely affect how he sleeps.
