Insomnia - what time do you give up?

[FireworksAndSparklers]

I've been awake all night. I've done all the 'right things' but it's 4.40am now and I have to be up in three hours for work. What time do I give up trying completely? What do you do?

I give up at 4, I like being up early how though.

it so horrid when you get zero sleep though, hope you get through today and have some rest tonight.

I'll be fine today and o

I'll be fine today and probably sleep like a log tonight. The worst I'll have is a nasty headache in the afternoon. Once I'm up, though, I'm usually find after a bad night. Just frustrating and hard knowing it's not going to help me get over this never ending cold I've had for nearly a month now.

I usually make a cup of Clipper sleep tea, it normally helps.

I've been awake since 1.30am. I'm on holiday so 1 hr ahead of you. I have 'painsomnia' - I have chronic pain and disability anyway. These beds on holiday are too hard and its ruining it for me. I have no energy in the daytime to do anything but still can't sleep at night.

I don't know when to give up either. Yesterday I fell asleep at 6.30 and woke at 9. It was lovely just to get that bit extra.

I think if I was working from home today I'd keep trying but honestly, I think I'll feel worse waking up after 2-3 hours only. Lots of caffeine today until just after lunch then an early night tonight I think!
