Can’t sleep despite lying still for last hour and half, too much happening. I received word earlier that one of our friends is very sadly reaching the end of his life following a 6 month battle with bowel cancer. Sad, sad night, I am expecting word anytime.

My brain is also racing due to a course of steroids for a rather nasty asthma attack. It wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t still wheezy.....back to doc tomorrow I think. Steroids are also upsetting my insides so I’m feeling squeamish and tonight’s dinner isn’t sitting well. DH is also suffering from aftermath of flu and cannot stop coughing .....two doc’s appointments perhaps?

Not a good night.

Sorry for your sadness, Katek..

I too put on headphones and listen to catch-up on my phone, or R4extra which is on all night. Usually, as soon as I think something is interesting and really want to listen, I fall asleep.

So very sorry about the sad news of your friend Kate. I hope your appts at Dr went well. I have trouble sleeping due to pain. If it goes on too long I do not lie there counting the hours, I give in and agree that I'm awake and even watch telly sometimes. I do drink milky drinks but I think they make me need a wee! Good luck tonight, two nights in a row of not sleeping is not likely, but I really recommend not fighting it, and giving in if necessary.

Our friend died very peacefully in the early hours of this morning. So glad he’s now at peace-cancer is a b awful disease.

Kate's, so sorry you are troubled,Idon't sleep well most nights, too hot , too cold ,restless legs jumping away,
I was on steroids for a bad chest infection (I am asthmatic)and I couldn't sit still, windows were cleaned, cupboards tidied out , paintwork washed, that was the only upside of not being well, that I got jobs done that wouldn't have got done,, I hope you have a better night tonight, and that you feel calmer tomorrow , Night night ?

Do hope you feel better today and are asleep now as it’s late! I always head to bbc radio iplayer when I can’t sleep. Find a drama that’s long and listen to that. Sometimes takes two. Off to do that right now. Night.
