I have been awake since 5.00, I wish I was still asleep. The house is so silent here by myself.

Oh no @Leggytigberk sorry to hear about your bathroom! Glad you slept a bit better today.

I slept about 2am last night and woke at 7. Stayed in bed all morning as I have a busy afternoon and evening and a lot to do tomorrow. Was good to rest and be under the duvet but no sleep!

Glad you rested. I have the house to myself mostly. DCs are adult and only use me for a base.
I was just getting ready for a shopping trip. meeting a newish friend, I have known her a while but we got together the other evening and maybe this afternoon turns into a 'date'.

Anyone heard of this? Is it just the same old crap advice?

I've had insomnia since I was a teen but at 47, I can't manage it they way I used to.

@garlictwist , How have you been today?

@Leggytigberk thanks for checking in. I saw a friend for coffee which was good as it helps take my mind off things a bit. Going to treat myself to a take away tonight. I hope you had a good day too.

@EmmaEmerald I have read similar in the past. It is certainly true about establishing patterns and habits.
I seem unable to sleep for more than 5 hours.

last night I went to bed and put the light off about 11.00 went to sleep quickly and woke about 4.00, brain started working and got up about 5.30.
