I often have nights when sleep evades me too. Even after a busy day, when I ought to be tired my brain is racing away and I can't drop off. Not wanting to disturb my OH, if I haven't drifted off within the hour I migrate to the lounge and either read or knit.
Lately, I have noticed that this seems to happen in the days preceding an appointment or a meeting, I guess that could be playing on my mind, I have no idea why though.
Then, when I have had a particularly restless night and I manage to drop off my inconsiderate neighbour, who seems incapable of opening or closing cupboards and drawers quietly, begins to get ready for work........
