Insomniacs not so anonymous!

Marydoll, question is - what are you on ? and then - did you like being a platinum blonde ? And then - may I have some ?

Woke at 2.35am. couldn't get back to sleep. Dozed until 5, then woke after the most bizarre dreams.
Can you please tell me why a group of men wanted to kill me for my political views and a well known TV presenter was driving me in her bus (her other job) , to a safe house, where I was looked after by a group of seminarians??? I then escaped and died my hair platinum blonde, as I thought the seminarians were in on the plot!!!

Hope everyone was able to get back to sleep. Like the sound of kettle and mugs by the bed annie. Been awake for an hour or so, not too bad really bearing in mind the clock change. No, I don't like it either. Very sore, pain is a real pain at night with fewer distractions. I try not to get up as Mr C always wakes if I do, doesn't seem fair for him so I use the iPad to catch up with tv programmes or read with the Kindle app. Thank goodness for headphones. Rest when you can everyone.

It would be okay if we didn't feel tired and sleepy in the day when there are things to be done.

Been awake an hour or so, and woke every hour before that. Having a cuppa and looking at iPad. I am so fed up with this. To make things worse, it’s an hour earlier than I think, because of this stupid clock change.

It's 5am and I'm still not asleep. RLS combined with insomia.... Such a torture

Still awake.......will be like a limp lettuce leaf tomorrow.

Good idea!

I have kettle and mugs by bed so don't have to go to kitchen, too tired.

That sounds soothing.....think I'll go and make hot choc. Sophie dog is panting so is shaking my bed which doesn't help sleep. (Especially at Halloween) haven't the heart to chuck her off.

Hello wot

Radio clock says 2.08 so must be 3.08 yesterday's time - that doesn't make sense . So tired can't think straight .

Having mug tea.

Hello! Don't know what time it is due to silly clock changes but just had first loo trip and glug of Gaviscon!

I take a sleeping tablet so am a zombie when I wake at 3, most I can manage is making mug of tea, making a Christmas cake? That is amazing . Think I was a dormouse in a previous life

Hi Belle x

Hope everyone has a decent day despite not sleeping well. I watched Graham Norton, always makes me smile, depending on guests. Must have fallen asleep about midnight. Wide awake about 1am so. . . got up and made Christmas cake! It's an old Philip Harben's recipe of MIL which DH loves even though it's never cut at Christmas these days and often lasts til Easter! Came back to bed about 4 ish. Just woken up-if I were a headache person I wd have one! Plan to do some tidying in the garden today, overcast here in Staffs, forecast windy tomorrow so will put washing out before church then.

Annie I’m so sorry to read that. Always about the same time, too? I hope you manage some sleep this afternoon. Hoping too that everyone else has a better night tonight.

Awake since 4 yet again. Feel zombie-like, brainless, headachey. How do my fellow insomniacs cope during the day? I just want to go back to bed, but too much time in bed must be bad for muscles and so on.

Oh dear, annie so sorry the broken sleep continues. I was awake at 2 and 4 again. Wide awake now. Pain management issues. I've a busy day today so will be up very soon. Rest when you can everyone.

Sorry you are having such bad nights Annie. If I wake up I tend to be very awake - give up and do something for an hour and then try to sleep again. Only 4 hours last night so not enough. I am going to try for another hour now ...

Bora da BB, i fell asleep about 12.30 so no seven hours sleep for me. I may sleep for about two hours this afternoon, this is the pattern now, not the same as the straight seven / eight hours at night.

Bora da. Anniebach I was asleep by 9 last night after a very busy day. So have done my usual 7 hours sleep. My book is downstairs. I might venture down in a while but it is nice and warm here. Have a nice Saturday. Xxx

3.20, mug of tea and world news again. Want to cry but too tired to. Hope no one joins me x

Goodnight Annie.xxx
