Insomniacs not so anonymous!

Pray?

That's the dead hour

Maybe Anniebach will join me at 3?

I'm feeling cosmic aloneness but can feel a slight affinity with other sleepless, lonely old gals out there.

HiYa! I can't sleep either. Just made toast with triangle cheese on top. Bad for.. cholesterol but beter than hungry

I'll see you too probably but hopefully not. Having a nightcap just now a whisky and water. Fingers crossed it works some magic.
All the best everyone.

See you in the early hours stansgran ?

DH has only one throat.

I've decided to embrace the 3am awakening. DH has been sleeping very badly and coughing. He has very nasty yellow blisters at the back of his throats and Dr Google has today diagnosed viral laryngitis. Separate beds last night and I was reading until 5.30 with a nice hot drink. I have a mug which is midnight blue with gold stars and it's the designated insomniacs mug. I've also decided that things I used to stress about aren't worth it. Let's make 3am special ??

Mawbroon,

Oh yes, I don't go downstairs before 8am or later if I can get away with it.
My H will start his thousand question a day routine and I put that off as long as I can.

Glad to hear you had a better night ann, will you stay in bed? I will for a bit as DGS is here and I don't want to wake him.

Like you Nana I have had a better night.
I woke several times but managed to doze off again.
Wide awake now, it is so windy but can't hear the rain lashing down as it seemed to be doing each time I woke up.
Commiserations Annie your worries are magnified in those "wee small hours".

Annie. Just realised your post was at 3:30 today, I hope you managed some rest after your cuppa.

I can't believe it's nearly 6, I expected it to be 3. I hope everyone else had a better night too.
How is your back Izzy ?

You're not alone Anniebach . I woke with dreadful back pain so I'm standing and swaying and drinking my tea. I think I'm coming down with something as I feel quite unwell. On here to distract myself from pain ?

Woke yet again 3.30. Having a cup of tea , doesn't solve the problem but it's comforting.

Up at 5 after trying to go back to sleep from 4. I try to just go with it as stressing doesn't help - in fact probably makes it worse. I quite like the peace and quiet of the very early morning but don't like the gritty eyes and exhaustion waiting for me later.

Go safely driving corner - you may need extra vigilance if the weather forecasters have got it right.

been awake since just after 4am, goodness knows why. Not in pain and not consciously worrying. Pretty fed up as a lot of driving to do today and it would help to be energised. Hope everyone else has slept well.

Hello Marmite I hope your move goes well next week.
I will read for a bit, then run a bath, but really I would love to go back to sleep.

Hope you got back to sleep Annie. I've been twiddling my thumbs since 3 but avoided the dreaded phone until now. Read for a bit and ate a banana. Guess my day started earlier than normal......I hate going back to sleep at this time. I wake up feeling hungover and spaced out [yawn]

3am , no one around, that's good if all are asleep

Hello Annie, how are you now? Feeling better I hope. I have a cup of tea on the go, resisting a biscuit.

So tired, sick of feeling sick 3.30 this time

Know absolutely that I won't get back to sleep, hope I'm wrong. Going to read for a bit.
