Can’t sleep…why are you awake?

[chitofftheshovel]

I go through periods of not being able to sleep, evidently now is one of them. I can’t really put my finger on why this time round.
Anyone else up and about?

I have chronic insomnia, 40 years in I’m just going with it and not stressing about why or how much sleep I’m (not) going to get. I hope you get some sleep soon.

Lost my little dog on Saturday, he slept on my bed , now the bed feels too big and empty. I'm not good at the sleep thing usually anyway but he used to push himself up close and I'm missing him so much.

I often only get an hour or so of sleep at night. I blame my ADHD meds and do take melatonin to counter it, but it doesn't seem to help.

I hope you're at least resting in bed even if you're not able to sleep.

so sorry for your loss @Zandra123.

I was too hot in bed, I'm Peri menopausal and think i need to go back to the doctor to up my hrt.

Yep. Ongoing insomnia. had a nap this afternoon after three days of approx 2 hrs sleep, and now can't sleep because I Napped. Suspect I'm premenopausal as well so it's worse than usual right now.

clouds aye I’ve learnt to roll with it now.

zandra sorry about your dog. What breed was he?

laying here waiting to stop fucking coughing

I had a nightmare of being attacked with a knife.

Eeek, that would do it!!

ADHD here and I’m ‘feast or famine’ when it comes to sleep. It’s 90 mins or 12 hours 🤯

I’m reading rather than tossing and turning though

Have you got any honey?

I'm at work, have you tried meditating?

I'm sorry @Zandra123
What was his name?

Daughter with D&V here. Washing machine is on again and the tumble dryer too. Wondering how long I will get asleep and how bad tomorrow will be.

No - staring at the screen which doesn’t help!!
Busy night at work?

I’m a terrible sleeper particularly since the death of my dog, I need to be listening to a podcast or sleep story so my mind doesn’t wander but my husband borrowed my earphones and now can’t find them, I’m so pissed off I’ve come downstairs, he’s sleeping soundly……

A bichon frise, I say cutest good boy

Grim. Here’s hoping she recovers quickly and it doesn’t spread through the household.

I seem to have one night a month where my body decides it doesn't need any sleep! Apparently I have no say in when this happens.

Tonight is the night ............. I have work tomorrow 🙄🙄

@HorseRaddisha I had a nightmare of being attacked with a knife. eeeek! Are you ok yet?

@darkmodeera laying here waiting to stop fucking coughing - bastard coughing! #youhavemysympathy

@chitofftheshovel, I recommend it, to be honest it felt a little odd to start with but there are some good videos on YouTube. Really calms your mind. I hope rest finds you, sleep well x

33 weeks pregnant and it just seems to be the way it goes right now 😂 I'm sleepy but can't sleep...

I'm currently lying on the floor of my 4 year old's bedroom as he's had a cold for a few days and about 2 hours ago, he vomited all in his bed. I don't like to leave my kids alone when they've been sick so I'm just waiting on edge with a sick bowl next to me just in case.

After a very uncomfortable night on the sofa last night, I was looking forward to sleeping in a proper bed tonight but 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm also wondering what I'm going to do about work tomorrow as he won't be able to go to school.... 🤔

@Zandra123 so so cute

@NewKingontheBlock you too? I'm sorry 😢

Aww look at that face.
Its horrid when a a pet dies. My JRT used to curl up in the crook of my legs to sleep. And somehow, for one so small, took up an unseemly portion of the bed.
