I do sympathise. Work should be part of our lives, but sometimes it takes over completely. Can you leave promptly this afternoon and have a nice warm bath when you get in? A takeaway and a nice glass of something seems in order for this evening. ( although I remember days like these used to end with a stiff gin and a bowl of cornflakes)

And good luck from me. Some radical rethinking needed here - you only have the one life and your OH is vulnerable health-wise.

Take care.

We have jumped off seemingly un-jump-offable wheels in our time.

Good Luck for your meeting gillybob .............. I hope it goes well.

It is a vicious circle isn't it? The more you need the sleep the less you can get it. Hope the meeting goes well then after lunch shut the door, put your head on your desk and have a doze.

Yes, knew that feeling well when working and still now, though long retired, have nights like that.

Hope all goes better than expected gilly

Wishing you well gilly, guess we’ve all been there with a head that won’t turn off. Wide awake here from 5, but cramp rather than worries. Hope the meeting is so much easier than you expect. Good luck.

Isn’t it always the same you sleep like a log every night of the week unless something nerve racking is happening then awake all night long
Hope all goes well with the meeting Gillybob and it’s not as daunting as you expect

Oh gosh been there, done that - you have my sympathies gillybob - good luck with the meeting. Hopefully one day you'll be able to get off this dreadful merry go round like we did flowers

I echo all the above posts gilly. Look after yourself. brew

Wishing you both all the best gillybob . I hope all goes well.

Thank you Maw . I decided just to get up , make myself a cuppa and take my time getting ready . Sleep is clearly not going to come. I will probably fall asleep at my desk around lunchtime ? ?

“Have”

Sincere sympathies Gillybob, no helpful suggestions though, just wishing you well for later.
Please, please take a break, had a nap afterwards though flowers

Just as the title says really . I have an important meeting at 9 am and I can’t sleep . My brain is on overdrive with worries and I’m pacing the floor . Considering just giving up, getting showered and going to work which is where I am really anyway . DH is working away (50 hours including travelling so far since Monday) . I’m not sure how much longer we can keep this up? This isn’t living .
