I just had a nap and feel much worse

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

I always feel worse, I am not a natural napper. DH can put his head down and get up again 45 mins later feeling great, but I just feel nauseous and only marginally less tired. DD naps all the time and still sleeps fabulously at night, I'm very envious. She once even had a nap under a tree on a hot day while on a school trip, she is the human version of the poem 'Cats sleep anywhere'.

We all had a bad night. We have an old house alarm that came with the house. We haven't actually used it for over a decade and it has decided to go off intermittently usually with months between every occasion. Except for last night when it went off four or five times between midnight and 6.30 am. I can't get anyone to decommission it.

There will be a fuse for your alarm system some where find it and remove fuse. We had to do this as it went off and wouldn't stop which was as great as you can imagine with a noise sensitive autistic kid

A couple of haribo sort the mash potato feeling for me. If I have a nap it needs to be 20 minutes, no longer and way earlier than 1900

Re alarm, find fuse box. Remove fuse.

Find back up battery. Mine is in an upstairs cupboard high in the wall. Disconnect or remove fuse. Job done.

Do your neighbours have the same one, if so ask them? They may know.

If you're stuck id still go back to the original company even if they don't do domestic stuff and beg/ask if someones around that was in the company back in the day that can help you work out how to disconnect it yourself. If there is a battery backup and where it's likely to be. And which fuse it's likely to be wired into.

The only time I can sleep when not in bed and not at night, is if I'm ill. Then I can.

I just couldn't nap otherwise. I don't know why, but now I'm in my 70s, I guess it's not going to change.

It's quite handy though, as one of my first symptoms of ill health for me, is falling asleep in my chair during the day.
