The question
What thought won't let you sleep?Originally asked
The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A
A long-running fixed question in The Guardian's weekly Q&A questionnaire.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
I sleep very well. Nothing keeps you awake when you know within yourself how much you care, how much you give, and that you always try your best. And that’s true for me, whether it’s on the pitch, on the international stage leading the line for my country, or at home.

My very long to-do list.
The possibility that my forensic accountant might not be mistaken about various people badly using me.
My job. I want to get it right.
Anxiety. Usually the best response is to think hard about things, work up some solutions and then go to sleep.
Nothing is the same as the sense of pride and achievement I feel when I see my kids growing up and enjoying the simple pleasures in life.
I only really care about my own opinion of myself, and my family and friends’ opinion of me. The rest is just noise.
Nothing. Without my past I wouldn’t be who I am today.
I just wanted to fulfil my potential.
