Default I can't sleep, is this normal?!

We finally got our ENS visa granted yesterday and I'm now lying in bed feeling like my heads going to explode with everything going through it at the moment! I normally sleep like a log so this is hard for me, is this just temporary or is it how it's gonna be for the next few months?!

Yes. Entirely normal and just you wait till it's about 6-8 weeks before you fly I kept waking up in the middle of the night thinking about shipping insurance, whether we'd done this, that or the other!

My advice is wine....
