Silence is a bitch when you're stressed.
Can you play some calming music to help you relax?

@EmeraldShamrock000 thank you for asking. I’m OK just sometimes life gets grrrrr

It certainly does! Hope you manage to get some sleep.

@PopThatBench omg thank you! Was lying in bed reading this thread and saw your comment. Just soaked a pj top and got it over me now 🤣 definitely helped 🥵

Yup. Time for cola callipo lolly. Back downstairs to the kitchen I go. I am so bloody knackered. My eyes feel heavy but it is too way too hot to sleep. I think it’s meant to cool down by 5am. 💤

No, I'm never warm, wearing a vest top to bed with light pyjama bottoms is a rare treat. I usually wear fleece pyjamas.
I know I'm in the minority. DH is dying from the heat.
I apologise I missed your update. I hope you're okay.

I have the fan on and windows open but yikes it’s sticky.

Anyone else find they over think when they’re over tired? I am feeling a bit sad about some personal stuff and it just is going round and round in my mind

Grab a chiller bock from the freezer and hug it to you like a hot water bottle!

Similar to @PopThatBench I recommend soaking a sheet in the shower, wringing it out and sleeping under/on that. By the morning it'll be bone dry.

I use a fan too, which makes it really cool and also provides white noise to drown out the effing seagulls at 4am 😃

Can’t go to be this early ! 🤣 although I can start to feel a breeze through my windows hopefully by the time I go to bed will have cooled down!

Too early for bed for me. Why don't you get up and watch tv for a while?

lazyarse123 · 11/07/2025 23:25

I'm staying up as long as I can. Last night I lay there for 2 hours wringing wet. It's no fun.

My husband and son are fast asleep?! I’m just lying here and got myself into a state

Top tip, get yourself a T-shirt, soak it under the cold tap, ring it out and lay it on your back/side while you’re in bed… absolute game changer for me and my little girl this week!

IMissSparkling · 11/07/2025 23:21

Maybe the fact that it's not even bedtime yet!
