It's been going in for nearly a week now. Warm bath, read my book, feel sleepy, then, as soon as my head hits the pillow am wideabloodywake! Any fellow sufferers?

I've had a banana
I've stripped the sofa covers! Good drying weather cannot be wasted

Eat two kiwi fruit an hour before bed. Works miracles.

I used to have insomnia with night feeds when dd was younger. Saw a book called the Effortless Sleep Method by Sasha Stephens recommended on here and am cured. It's all about how to stop worrying about not being asleep which is the main cause of insomnia.

Got up at 7-30 , got back into bed at 9-30 ( having chucked dh out of the hotel room for walkies, as it was gorgeous outside)

Slept till1pm and woke up starving.

So on this red hot bank holiday Sunday we went to the even hotter Toby carvery next door.

It was mental in there.

Sat in a country park. Had some sunshine and we are now in the shade.

I feel a bit more normal but I did take a diphenhydramine ( which I'd given up 7 years ago as I'd become addicted!)

I do have an excuse, I've been bitten to death!

Will Rey the kiwi fruits another time. They must be full of magnesium and I bet my levels are down.

Good luck tonight everyone. Wishing you all sweet dreams end long sleeps 😴

No such luck for me. Reading about vma drama and avoiding GOT spoilers! Slept in late which I can't do today so hopefully it'll be a short sharp shock to reset my system.
Fingers crossed.

Still awake here... maybe I should not have had that late cuppa
