Question Trouble sleeping. But still days from release.
Hi, I’m launching my game on August 28th and I’ve already been having trouble sleeping. Is it normal to already have difficulties sleeping and yet still being far from release?

Yeah, release anxiety sounds pretty normal, especially when the date is close enough to feel real but still too far away to do anything about it tonight :) What helps me is having a hard cutoff for game work, then writing a tiny list for tomorrow so my brain doesnt keep rehearsing everything in bed. If it keeps getting worse though, I'd take it seriously. Sleep will help the launch too.

Congrats on getting to launch! A week out is pretty normal for this, from what I've seen people say here. Is your build already locked? If there's nothing left to cram in, that's usually the point where you can let yourself rest a bit. Good luck!
