So much for sleeping tablets - awake at 330 and can’t get back to sleep!

Normally half a Nytol will knock me out on nights when I really need a good sleep but I know my chattering brain won’t let me drop off.

How frustrating is it then that after just four hours’ sleep, something has woken me up and I haven’t been able to nod back off due to aforementioned racing brain. Ugh.

And to make matters worse I have finally given up trying to get back to sleep and so pick up my phone, only to have traumatised myself with the leaked photos of Matt Hancock 😱

I also woke up at 2am and haven't been back to sleep. I don't bother with sleeping tablets though as I just think "well, if I can't sleep I can't sleep". It's better not to "panic" if that makes sense!

I will be tired today. Going to get up and do some weights and yoga in a bit as it will make me feel better.

Morning, garlic! Normally I just let it be too, but I have been having so little sleep recently (and have such a huge day of work ahead), that I really needed a good eight hours tonight! I’m so disappointed as I’m going to be exhausted later on.

I might get up and go for a bath in a bit Smile

Morning. I tried a podcast, but it’s just made a bit more awake. Am going to make some tea now.

Tea is a good call! I think I have to accept defeat now so will join you in that! Brew

Matt Hancock leaked pictures? No wonder you can't sleep (ps what pics are these?)
