any night owls about

Hi Lemsip! Been awake about an hour. Regular occurrence but not a troublesome one. Just use it to plan my day or catch up on missed items. Hope your paracetamol is kicking in.

hi Kim, do you manage to get back to sleep at any point? or is thit it? I have put tv on and found location location to watch hoping I may drift off for an hour at least.

Yes, I usually drift in and out of sleep unless something specific catches my attention. Certainly don't move out of cosy bed or that would be me totally awake.

Will a day owl do? Yes, I wake several times in the night with a frozen shoulder/rotator cuff injury. I just put on a podcast, pop a paracetamol and try to nod off again. Having a sweet little cat on the bed is helpful. Sweet dreams x

I was awake just after 4 as I often am. Beautiful sunrise. Eventually got myself a cup of tea and have just listened to The Just One Thing podcast on the benefits of eating an apple a day. It’s never worth me trying to get back to sleep but I really should make the most of these wake times. I’ll get a second cup of tea and put some washing on.

Been awake since 4:30 with similar to you, pain in my back from a herniated disk/sciatica.

I’m probably going to try watch a tv show (preferably something soporific and boring) to nod off again.

Hope location location helped you drift off lemsip

Normally up from 0430, usually 0500.
I just catch upon reading, do washing…. I do have a nap in the afternoon though.

I wish I'd seen this thread last night. I was awake until 5 am. It's mainly the heat - it's been nearly 40° here the last couple of days.

I would love to be able to get up early and do stuff before it gets too hot, and have a siesta when the sun is high, but I feel as though I've been scrubbing floors all night. It's now 9.30 am here in Central Europe and I really should drag myself down for breakfast.

I was wandering the house at 4 and finding the best window to listen to the muntjac deer barking. Still not fully functional this morning!

may see you in the early hours then FannyCornforth

Shamelessly bookmarking, as I also have a frozen shoulder and am awake a lot in the night these days.

Yes see you all this coming morning night owls

Well...... am I alone out here?

G'day Kim, mid afternoon here in Oz.

No,Kim19 I’m up as well. Been out in the garden and done some watering . Beautiful sunshine . Now time for a cuppa tea and to enjoy a peaceful beautiful summer morning

Normal waking for me is 5 to 5.30, if it is earlier, sometimes 3ish, then I eat a small oatcake in bed and that gets me back to sleep. I like being up and about at 5+. I have a nice gentle start to the day, I often float outside, pick some berries and listen to the birds, which is what I did this morning

Hah…should have come here for a chat. Also awake on/off throughout the night with lower back pain. Can’t pin mine down to anything or spot yet. Had it in late April at least it was centralized.

I was up every hour during the night but resisted the urge to look at a screen. Fully light at 4am and tempted to get up but nodded off again.

had a good night sleep for first time in ages, pain in shoulder and neck from trapped nerve seems to have sorted itself out some how.......

oh dear....... awake again for last hour.... 4.20am.

I am awake. Day 4 of covid. I rather think that the fever has finally left me?.

Just watching the dawn sky

Another oft night owl bookmarking.

Wyllow3 I’m up too, sciatica killing me tonight, hoping I’ll nod off but a hot tea and bath didn’t do much sadly.
