Insomniacs not so anonymous!

I slept fitfully, although I didn't try to sleep until after 03.00. Waking up and hoping we all have a better day. x

Instead of sleeping I spent most of last night worrying about my Tesco online food shopping due to be delivered at 7.00am, usually end up ordering too much of one thing and not enough of another. Took us ages to work our way through 12 yoghurts (all the same flavour)! and 3 ton of grapes!

Ye gods I have coughed my way through the night seeing all the hours and most of the halves and quarters too. ???

Sorry your still having broken sleep Ginny

I knew that POPS but when the thoughts just won't stop free-wheeling round my brain I just have to get up and do something. No use lying there, as the thoughts just don't stop I'm afraid.

Theres quite a lot of evidence to show that screens on phones tablets and even the TV have a detrimental effect on sleep. Google screens and sleep for more info.

Just joined gransnet 3am ish.... Have a feeling that sleep may evade me for the rest of this night ... It's now 4.27 and I've been checking out the various forums...
Choosing insomniac's anon seemed most appropriate for a first post to say hello to other wakeful ladies.
Going to see if I can go to sleep now ... Hope you all can too.. Nite nite ?x

Sorry your awake in night again Ginny, I am every night, I stopped the nightly tea and rennies posts ? Hope you are sleeping now x

Oh dear awake again and can't switch off. Hoping I am the only one awake and worrying. Wish I had an off switch.

Me too. Night everyone. ???????

3.40 here so I'm going to try to get some sleep. Night all. x

Thanks Wilma now I need to go!

Re: Wagner, I thought I read that he's refusing to speak with police. Is that not an offence? It seems some new evidence has been found. It didn't say what.

Yes! We've been having BBQs and it's warm in the sunny spots in the garden. A bit chill at night. I'd extended my stay before the cold weather arrived in the UK, but I'm so pleased I have seeing the snow on the news.

I don't have anything to snack on, but I've got a flask of honey and warm water. Exciting. Not.

jordana what do you think about him being a person of interest again in the investigation into Natalie's death?

I've had a banana and a hot chocolate drink. It's real chocolate, so I'll probably still be awake when the family get up. Are you reading that because he's just been investigated re Natalie Wood's death?

Been to the loo now!

The weather here in the Midlands is OK, chilly but not too bad. The colder temperatures are quite patchy, but we're expecting a sunny day tomorrow.

Are you somewhere warm Ginny?

Still up and reading Robert wagner book called' I loved her in the movies'. The females stars through the decades...a gentleman in that there is no smut about them. Must put it down and go back to bed after having 2 baileys and a frys cream chocolate bar!

I gather the weather in the UK is very cold and conditions for going anywhere rather treacherous. Perhaps you're doing the wisest thing as you've not been too well. Stay in the warmth and get better. And go to the loo!

There's a lot of us here quite regularly now and I'm glad we can reach out to each other.

I'm dying to go to the loo, but don't want to get out of my warm bed!

Yesterday I did what I didn't think I could do - I rearranged my hair appointment and cancelled lunch with my friends. In the day at the moment I'm just too tired to do much. Catching up with lost sleep during the day is not the same as sleep during the night.

It's still early yet.

Hi Jordana, sorry you need to be here. I'm currently an hour ahead of the UK, so been unable to drop off. put lights out and settled down but sleep just won't come at the moment. Too anxious about a family issue.

I am the one who can't drop of to sleep easy. Mind too active and then get too hot and bothered and not comfortable. Get to bed and get up again 2 or 3 times before I can nod off. Then sleep till around 8am. Most people on here I think manage to get to sleep but wake at 2 or 3 am just as I am trying to sleep. I think it is more common to read to get to sleep and wake early rather than me who can't seem to ,switch off

Hi all . Awake since 0430 . Still coughing after 2 weeks day and night . Will be thinking of you and your family today Annie x

Hi all x. As usual tea and rennies , dogs are fast asleep
