I am being massively unreasonable because I am EXHAUSTED 😩
I have always been a light sleeper, well maybe not always but since my late teens.
I am going through an even worse time of insomnia at the moment ! On average I'm falling asleep about 4-5am. I'm absolutely bleeding knackered. Decided to sleep in spare bed last night (snoring OH) couldn't drop off at all !
So get comfy think I will just try to relax now. People shouting outside walking around pissed ! (I live in a holiday place it's to be expected) my bloody dogs start barking I separate dogs ! (they set each other off when people are screaming outside)
Get comfy again. One dog manages to open bedroom door and jumps on me 🙈. So then I decide I'm absolutely starving (this happens a lot actually and makes it hard to sleep !)
Finally fall asleep about 4am. 7am OH gets up for work comes into spare room starts conversation about dogs about how foggy it is 😤😤. Goes in bathroom and does not shut door so now I'm laid next to Niagara Falls shower and light streaming through the door like beacon from a lighthouse ! Put pillow over my head. He comes in spare room to say bye 👋🏼. Shuts door tells me to get some sleep 🤣. 5 minutes later comes back in spare room he's left car keys in there !. Other dog jumps on me 😤.
I don't want waking up in a morning I'm sodding knackered 🙈🙈

That must be awful astorria. One thing that jumps out from your post is the hunger. Are you getting enough protein in the day? You’ve probably already tried a big bowl of porridge before bed to stave off the hunger...

@JiltedJohnsJulie 😊
I'm not getting enough of anything 😩. I have had to have 7 surgeries over the last few years to remove parts of my bowel. So I've been left with really bad malabsorption issues. Seen various dieticians ! Unfortunately at the mo I'm on a low residue diet

Much sympathy as I too am a light sleeper who has periods like this. First thing to fix is your DH though. Explain to him that if he wakes you up in future, you will chop his balls off!

Oh astorria that’s really, really tough. Agree though, you need to fix your DH and probably put a stair gate somewhere to to the DDogs getting to you Smile
