Insomniacs not so anonymous!

Its really annoying, the waking up at regular intervals. I used to sleep like a log, regardless of what was going on during the day. My eyes are constantly red and gritty.

I woke at 1.15 and last looked at clock just before 4, it’s getting to be a habit I wish I could break, especially as I always wake at around 6.30.

I had a better night than usual....slept til 4 and put on the radio, world service, interesting that. Then woke again at 5.30 radio on again, dozed and finally woke at 6.30. Radio back on. Stayed in bed, eyes closed, husband brought tea and fruit.
Am down stairs now, still in my pj's having spent the morning on this annoyingly addictive machine ( ipad) and talking to a friend, instead of getting dressed! Which is what i am going to do now, i really am!
Have a good day all and a hope for a better night tonight, with sleep arriving if only because of total exhaustion.

My problem was the smoke alarm beeping all night, needing a new battery. Of course, DH snored all the way through it (another cause of my insomnia ) and I am too vertically challenged to reach it without going out to the garage for ladders, which I can't lift anyway!

Oh poor doggie.
Grace used to lie in her bed and grumble/ whimper sometimes. I never knew if it was pain, grumbling or just age.
She used to have Metacam though and sometimes Tramadol as her back legs were troubling her.
Still feel sad about her.?

I was awake between 03:45 and 05:30. Not because of insomnia, but because my 18 year old dog was crying. I think another trip to the vet is in order. She seems to have pain or irritation in her back legs, and can't stop herself from licking and chewing the worst affected leg.

I awoke at 3am, I do every night but not insomnia , a health problem. I am so very tired and long to get back to sleep.

Did Anyone Awake hit the 1000 posts mark then?
That’s a lot of insomnia.

I'm laying in bed using my Kindle. It's my way of sending myself to sleep. A few games of solitare will finish me off.
