Thread two for the 3am crew

So sorry, pant. I’m the opposite, I had a better night last night.
I was very tired, but refused to”wake up” each time my eyes opened. This time it worked an I got a reasonable 7 hours, despite the napping form it took…
Hope everyone else has had an ok night.

I keep forgetting about this thread, and I try not to pick up my phone when I wake up, as when I start faffing about with it there is no chance of getting back to sleep. Another short night😢.

I've been awake since 4. I was in bed before 11 so probably had enough sleep. A long day ahead .... Done my games but I could do some Duolingo.....

A bit cross that I’ve needed a toilet break, after only a couple of hours in bed, but I’ll probably drop off again for another couple no bother.

Pantglas you re not the only one I think there’s probably a fe2 of us around 🤣had my 5 hours so now doing sone games on my iPad

👋 am I the only one here? Typical! I have one bad night every month and it seems to happen mid month too - I wonder if it’s the lunar cycle?

Glad you’re all 😴 - I’ll hold the fort…🫡

I scraped five hours. I thought I would sleep well, as I had a stressful day yesterday and a lot of round in the evening, but I took a while to nod off then woke at 5.45 and couldn’t get back. Annoying, but could be worse I suppose.

Four and a half hours solid - happy with that. I take a cup of tea and a biscuit and have them in bed, before I settle down.

Onwards and upwards now.

Gymsragran that’s exactly how it works for me I find if I go to bed between 11 and 12 I go through to 5 ish and miss that awful 3 am wake up.
I think the more you do like eating or drinking in the night the more awake you get and your body then expects food or a snack at that time, so begins to wake for it.
Have a good day everyone

Awake at 5 , I'm going to sleep later at night and I'm getting 5 hours sleep. Much better for me

Sweet dreams, georgesgran. Grapes sores?
Hunger is not something that wakes me up, nor my bladder nor, mercifully, pain. I think it’s what my mother used to call “ill will” on the part of my body or brain 😆
Back to my usual napping through the night. I hope I manage to get through the day as it’s extra busy with the ashing in church this evening - I don’t normally go out at night as I’m too tired.

wide awake with sore eyes from readung in a dimmed light

also hungry! cannot think what I can have to eat which
is ready, digestible, doesn’t involve use of the microwave
as this will wake the neighbourhood and easy to clean my
teeth after, not cheese, meat, or fruit
I’m out of Ovaltine which usually works.

What does everyone else have to eat inthe early hours

Wide awake since 2.30. Goodness knows why. I had a run of good nights and now back to this.

I shall read and hopefully fall asleep.

I’m just off to bed now.
Night night.

Record broken . I been awake since just on 1 o’clock. Hey ho. Swings and roundabouts

Ah, right. Thank you. I didn’t think of that, but I’ve no doubt I shall be needing it again in the near future!

I was fully awake at three this morning and looked for this thread, but couldn’t find it! Dropped off eventually, but up early (for me nowadays) because we have builders in again today. I could have done with a good night’s sleep, but hey ho.

The “active” thingy wasn’t working. If you go on to threads “I’m on’, you an then post…

Wow that’s a record JandJ I ve managed 51/2 so more than happy with that

Gosh! 8 and. a half hours with just one lo visit. Wonder why ?

Been drifting in and out of sleep for a couple of hours. Not too bad overall although I’ve not woken feeling refreshed from sleep for over forty years since diagnosis with CFS then fibromyalgia, both play havoc with sleep patterns and a sense of post sleep wellbeing. A decent day is forecast, wonderful, it makes such a difference not to have grey skies. We’re meeting our grandson and his parents this morning, a real treat as their lives are more than busy. I plan to include chips in my lunch for another treat and there will be pancakes for tea. A healthy food day ? Probably not, nice though 😂. Wishing you all well.

Hi. Hope your PCC meeting went well, topsy. The one I was in, in Kent, used to take forever with different factions arguing. DH was treasurer and knew what we could afford and would try to stop the many flights of fancy. Here in Bristol, the meetings are brief, talk is mostly enlightenment, no arguments, all done in an hour. Such a difference.
I was very tired last night and was asleep by 10pm. Sleep a bit erratic, but I can’t complain about 6 hours.
Hope you are all tucked up (snoring) and relaxed , ready to face today.
Make sure you have lots of pancakes!🥞

Thank you LaCrepescule and grandmattie.I managed a couple more hours sleep.

Managed to get a coupe of hours when I dropped off about 5am. Feel surprisingly refreshed but will be dead on my feet later. Really vivid dreams this morning.
Hope all my fellow insomniacs have a good day.

Morning! I have been awake since 4, and just can’t quieten my mind. There are loads to of things to be done this week, including a PCC meeting here tonight. The dining room needs serious work before then, including hanging new curtains!
We had quite a lot of snow yesterday but it was always pretty wet and soon melted away when it turned to rain. More rain today I expect.
I hope you have all managed to doze off again.
