I’m still awake, Dh and the Dc all sound. Just can’t switch off and sleep. Anyone else about?

I've sorted my wardrobe and done the ironing. I get periods of insomnia but thought it was abated having been fine all Christmas and new, alas no - it seems I just can't sleep on my own and I have to be a grown up and go to work etc nowConfused I need to change my life this year

I'm hungry, do I make an emmental cheese or spicy tuna toastie?

Angeldelight68 · 03/01/2020 04:16

Emmental over tuna any day @Gingerkittykat

I woke up wondering if a dress I bought is a style charge too far. Very inconsequential, so I figure I'm just rested enough.

LittleLongDog · 03/01/2020 04:19

Restless legs have been driving me mad!

Cleaned the bathroom at midnight. Tried to go to bed again at 1am but gave up at 2am and came to the sofa so I wouldn’t disturb DP and I’ve been here since.

I want to be all sleepy and in bed!

LittleLongDog · 03/01/2020 04:19

Or failing that I want a cheese toastie 😂

MarieVanGoethem · 03/01/2020 04:32

daydreambeleiver
How v rude of your insomnia to come back like that.

dudsville
You realise we want to know more about the dress now right?

LittleLongDog
Hope that you’re able to catch up on sleep later, or have you to work today? (Can you make yourself a surreptitious snack?)

dudsville · 03/01/2020 04:35

marie, thank you for taking an interest!

Its bit going to be everyone's cup if tea, and it's not an easily acceptable demure grey. It's a bold stripe of navy, a dark pink and white. I'll see if can get a pic.

dudsville · 03/01/2020 04:42

I don't know how to copy the image, can't find its name, and it's sold out, but i found it by googling "boden stripey midi shirt dress", of the several that came up its three one with dark navy and pink stripes.

I went to bed and 'veganuary' was trending on Twitter. I've woken up and 'World War 3' is trending.

We really can't leave men unattended for a minute, can we?

Geez I’m back (nothing personal) just frustration at the being awake thing. ☹️ I’m an on off insomniac too and it’s thankfully rare for me to pull an all nighter like this so whilst irritating I know it’s hopefully sortable. A number of weird things happened here today that triggered anxiety in me. We have family member staying with MH issues here and I’m worried that I did something stupid that could jeapardise recovery. In actual fact they’re probably fine, it’s just me that’s panicking inside. ☹️ These situations are hard for families to manage hence counselling needed. Tbh some sex would be nice but Christmas isn’t a sexy time really is it? Might plan a nap later today. Got a full house to deal with ☹️
Re restless legs : weighted blankets are quick good?!

Tinkobell · 03/01/2020 04:57

@dudsville...let’s see the frock then! 😉

MurrayTheMonk · 03/01/2020 05:05

I'm awake too and have been since 3. Up for work in an hour or so. Sigh.

Gingerkittykat · 03/01/2020 05:29

Tinkobell, too much thinking time in the dead of night is definitely not a good thing.

I had the cheese toastie and am still hungry, not surprising since yesterdays food intake was crisps and noodles.

I've been looking up tofu recipes, I'm determined to be able to cook it so I like it. I had some in a Japanese restaurant recently that was amazing but never been able to prepare it nicely at home.

Chochito · 03/01/2020 09:21

Date was good, just got back. Trying to do some work.

Idontkowmyname · 03/01/2020 21:43

How is everyone tonight? Only managed a few hours before one of the dc disturbed me.

It’s been a long day

I am out having a solo wine at the bar across the street from my hotel. Booked a trip away for new year as I was dreading being alone and it has turned out lovely.

Chochito · 03/01/2020 22:22

What time do you usually go to bed, OP?

Chocolatemice · 03/01/2020 23:20

I’m in bed with a copy of Beowulf. Wish I had a cup of cocoa. Hoping I’m not up until the early hours again.

Chochito · 04/01/2020 00:04

Chocolatemice Which edition of 'Beowulf' are you reading? Hope you have a restful night.

Idontkowmyname · 04/01/2020 00:10

@chochito midnight usually assuming I’ve not dozed off briefly during the day.

OP posts:
Chochito · 04/01/2020 00:15

That means you're asleep now! Sweet dreams and here's to a good night's rest.

ClientListQueen · 04/01/2020 00:36

Still full of this never ending crappy illness
My cat is asleep snoring

Chochito · 04/01/2020 00:37

Oh no, ClientListQueen. What's been up with you? Can you sleep with an extra pillow to help you breathe or stop you from coughing?

Idontkowmyname · 04/01/2020 00:39

@chocito sadly still awake as I dozed off for a short while earlier
