I just want some sleep

[bloodywhitecat]

I am so bloody tired but I can't sleep and when I do get to sleep I am wide awake within 60-90 minutes. I want a night in bed, please keep everything crossed that Marie Curie offer us a night sit this week? they were going to try and get us one on Sunday but Sunday has been and gone, our District Nurse told them we were heading towards a desperate situation and we are but |I guess I am glad we are not as desperate as others must be.

I'm so sorry - I do hope you get your night sit and you get some respite.

Is it you waking up, DH needing you or the fosterlings? If it's you, do you have anything like piriton that you could have a glug of an emergency measure? I had post-natal anxiety and I well remember that awful feeling of lying there utterly exhausted and yet totally unable to sleep

Mostly it is me, then once I am awake the thoughts start. I have taken some melatonin tonight but it hasn't worked, I have Phenergan on the shelf but was trying not to take one tonight as I am taking them more and more often. I do wake when DH wakes but tend to doze until I know he's asleep again. The babies rarely wake at night these days, I am blessed with this pair, 12 hours each most night. I dread night times.

Thank you @ErrolTheDragon, if we don't hear tomorrow I will ask the DN when she calls again at the end of the week.

Creating an off switch for the thoughts would make someone a billionaire!

And bam! Awake again
