2.42 am and I'm going on holiday, in 4 hours and I can't sleep

[Whatthefunk]

Evening/morning. I'm lying in bed, in a very comfortable hotel, listening to Ds and Dh snoring.....this is torture
I have to be up in 4 hours, to catch a ferry! What to do?

Give it up as a bad job. Can you sleep on the journey?

I get this but I think it's anxiety about oversleeping and things I need to do but can't do until the morning. Absolutely any little time saving device?

Where are you going OP? I'd love to be going on holiday in 4 hours!

I've not slept more than two hours straight on seven months. You'll be fine.

Eating chocolate helps

I also can’t sleep but due to the fact that I have just had a terrifying nightmare and am too scared to close my eyes again.

Thinking of you. I always struggle night before a journey but find the adreniline pulls me through the next day and I then sleep well 1st night away.

Have a great holiday !!

So sorry! I must have fallen asleep, just after I posted. Wide awake again now.... Thanks for the replies. It's probably just excitement, mixed with a bit of worry. We're going over to the Isle of Man, to watch the racing. So looking forward to it. And yes, I can get a few hours on the boat.

Will do. I'm getting up now. I'll go for a walk before everyone else gets up

Enjoy the Isle of Man! It's where I'm from!

Thank you! Up and about. Feeling a bit jaded, but the suns shining and Bruce Anstey is only a ferry ride away!😀
