Bloody insomnia

I've been trying to sleep since 11:30pm. Every time I've stated to nod off I've been woken feeling like I e been startled, I've been getting into a hot sweat and cannot got to bloody sleep. This happens maybe once a week l/fortnight. I've tried sleeping on the sofa, tried sleeping in bed bit DP is snoring and twitching.

I've now decided to just lay on the sofa and watch the news and not even attempt to sleep.

Eventually had a two hour nap at 11am. Right now I'm shattered and don't know wether to get in bed and try and sleep or not-If I go to early I wake around 11pm and can't get back to sleep for hours after.
Good luck for tonight everyone.

I came downstairs after posting that. Put the TV on so I could barely hear it and got snuggled with a blanket and went right to sleep. I've just woken up I can still hear OH snoring down here now though
