Thread two for the 3am crew

When I was young I use to ‘go up the wooden hill to the land of nod’ when going up the stairs to bed

I have just looked up the land of Nod which grandmattie and I both mentioned. It comes originally from the Bible meaning a place of exile from God and place of spiritual restlessness. So I really don't hope you are all there.
It also comes from Gullivers Travels and from Jonathen Swifts other books.
I only know it from maybe nursery rhyme books or children's stories meaning a place where you nod off.
Every day a school day.

Morning everyone
Haha we re all doing puzzles I m on Sudukos 🤣

Grrr
I’ve been awake for the last 2 hours, trying to get back to sleep - just thoughts drifting around, not getting worried or annoyed.
I’ve given up and hope I manage a short nap this afternoon.
This the second week that everything is happening. I’ve got my Spanish class this morning, then a church tea which I’ve accepted and can’t get out of, and a very important and difficult WI committee meeting this evening!
Hope most of you are in the land of Nod.🙂‍↕️

I’ve just done he Gridogram. I need to be up fairly early this morning- maddening, isn’t it?

Just done Wordle and read parts of the Guardian. I will try to sleep again …

Me too. Just finished Solitaire and a few chapters on my kindle. Will try a snooze in a mo.

Wide awake at 1.30! I fell asleep around 9 woke at 11.00 for about 15 minutes. Back to sleep and now here I am ready for. Wordle.
Then back to sleep again.
I hope I am the only one and everyone else is in the land of nod,

I think that I drifted off around eleven and woke up ar nine -unbelievable!

Haven't slept like that for over two and a half years .

I was restless in my slumbers and feel that I dreamt a lot.
But hopefully,
my sleep patterns are reverting to normal .

Finally dropped off after trying my old trick of listing characters from Jane Austen novels alphabetically! Set the alarm for 7:30 and switched it off twice before dragging myself out of bed. [confused]

Morning all . A good night for a change. Straight through until 5:30, with just one loo visit.

That’s me in the Wide Awake Club again. I knew I should have kept my mouth shut about sleeping well for the past week! I have lots to think about at the moment, so my mind is in overdrive. I’ve been up and made hot milk and read a bit of my book, now back and trying to sleep. We’ve a neighbour’s funeral later today, which I think is also playing on my mind. I’ll look in later if I’m still not asleep to see if anyone else is also awake.

Good news HelterSkelter1

I’m just off to bed now, it’s blowing an absolute gale outside, but I’ve got Judge Judy on my bedroom tv, until I feel ready to settle down.

Thank you crazyH. Yes all good. Next check up 4 months time.

Hope all is good Helterskelter 🤞

Another bad night. A health condition I have flared up and I was in pain. I went to bed at 3.30 and got up at about 11am today. I am retired and will just chill today.
I have given up worrying now about having late mornings. I will shower and get dressed after I have done the housework them I will go out for a couple if hours.
I am feeling depressed at the moment so am forcing myself to do things to up my mood.

Last night I slept not badly considering I have a telephone cancer check up today which normally keeps me very wakeful the night before. Touch wood I am not getting a bit blasé as it's almost 5 years remission. Fingers crossed.

Bluebelle yes anything above 5 hours is fine for me. I think I would qualify as an "awkward guest" with my night time wanderings. Like the one on another thread except I don't eat just fish!!

Helterskelter you’re flying ahead of yourself with all the what ifs
You ve had about 7 hours sleep with a wake in the middle which is perfectly normal especially as we get older You ll be fine

No I m awake Nannytopsy had my usual 4 hours and happy with that
Try not to equate ‘not sleeping’ with having a bad day you ll be fine and maybe sleep better tonight Have a good day anyway

Bed at 11.30 then woke at 3. I have been awake for 2 1/2 hours. My mind is bouncing around all kinds of irrelevant thoughts. Of course, I have lots to do tomorrow and don’t want to be a zombie.
It seems that the rest of you are asleep tonight!

Doodledog

I’m wide awake despite not going to bed until 1.00. I have a busy day ahead, including a morning Zoom class (where I will no doubt look like the living dead), and I’m very tired. I really wish someone would invent a sleeping pill with no addictive properties (and that could be bought over the counter).

Ask at your pharmacy. There are things you can take for a week or so. Sleepease. They must have something in them that dehydrates you but worth a try perhaps.

Woke up some timecago .
I felt as though I'd been dreaming for hours,bit it was probably just a few minutes
I'm watching DavidcCopperfield on channel 98 freeview .
It's a nice film!
I seem to doze off during the early part of the evening.
It's become a pattern .

Sorry - too tired for manners🙄. Good morning all.
