Does anyone else find it hard to go out in the evening as you get older. especially on these cold wet winter evenings.
I go to play cards every week and looking out the window i thought do I really want to leave my nice warm home for a drafty church hall smile
I will make myself go as i know i will have a good evening with the others who make the effort to turn up, hopefully!!!

Chrissie2222 I'm not surprised you can't sleep after all the involvements. Your body must be like a coiled spring and because your sleep pattern is erratic you won't function the same.
It takes time for the body to get back to normal and the more you fight against the fact that you can't sleep the worse you'll be.
I do feel for you x

I had been sleeping every night again up till a week ago...these periods seem to come and go..someone said I'm sleeping to much one night anything between 10/12hrs then on the alternate night 3/4 when it happens..this is the third time my sleep cycle has been like this 5 mths longest it lasted two weeks and then I'm back sleeping 6/7 hrs a night..makes me feel anxious when it happens as I don't want the all nighters again..I have been through a lot and had a health scare at beginning of the year which seemed to trigger the insomnia off..then everything else that happened..I feel ok..need to get my life back..just adjusting to changes xxx
