Well, I need to make a phone call at 3am...its currently midnight here...would you go to sleep for a couple of hours then wake up, call them then go back to sleep until 7 or would you keep your tired self occupied until then then go to bed straight after making the call

but tbh by the time ive decided it'll probably be 3am at this rate!

I’d have gone to bed at 10 and then gotten up, not sure there’s much point now!

If it’s a serious call then I would stay up and try to stay fairly alert. If it’s the sort of call that it doesn’t matter what state you’re in then I’d go to bed now!

Ah this was actually the plan but I had to work until 11 in the end...plus my sleep schedule seems to be that of a 19 year old party animal sadly!

I’d probably doze on the sofa in front of the TV and set an alarm for 2.30am just in case.

Can you call from bed ? Go to sleep. Set alarm for 2:40am. Make call. Back to sleep .

In that case stay up, drink tea and make a list of what needs to be said

@IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece is it all over?

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 28/04/2025 06:38

I stayed up until 3, was on hold for 33 minutes then got cut off as they answered, rang back and was 17th in the queue. So did not go well 😂😂😂

Appreciate the solidarity! I’m going to hed early tonight to try again tomorrow 😂
