But a bloody insect keeps buzzing around me and I just can't settle. Every now and again it lands on mer goes near my ears. I've no idea what to do and my room is so hot.

I'm just moaning because I'm so tired and was in bed for 8!! I'm getting so mad but the bloosy thing keeps out smarting me!

I'm gonna say you went to bed too early Grin

Get up. Have a warm bath with a book. Then go back to bed but put your pillow at the bottom and lay with your feet where your head would normally go.

You'll be out like a light.

Open your door and turn the light on in the space outside, let the fucker head for the light then shut the door.

I'm over tired.
I'm not at home but in a hotel. Hotel is a bit basic so no bath. I havent got any books. I didnt get to the hotel until 05.00hrs on Monday due to flight delays and I was up at 08.00 hrs. I dont function on 3 hrs!!🤣🤣🤣
I was so looking forward to sleeping!

Good idea. I've got a massive balcony so that's a plan!

Hello room service, one large brandy please

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz so it’s not just me that puts my pillow at the other end of the bed when I can’t sleep!! It’s so effective isn’t it? 😄

It works a charm

OK- hotel edition:-

Balcony doors open for a breeze, telly on, all the lights off, just have the top sheet on (hotel rooms are usually hotter than hell).

Apparently a cold shower signifies sleep is coming (your body cools as it tires, shower makes it think its sleep time).
