Going to sleep after football

[Frownette]

YABU - yes I can fall asleep easily
YANBU - it's hard to switch off

I think I'm about to get a snack and see if that helps but I don't feel I can get to sleep. No trouble here, everyone is quiet as churchmice.

Me too, but I'm a natural night owl anyway. I don't think the drinks will have helped in getting anything close to a good night sleep😂

I'm in bed. Been at a bbq all day but starving now and struggling to wind down. Contemplating a crisp sandwich.

I've decided to have a snack of fried egg, chips, vege sausage, cheese, and burger sauce. So I'll pass out in a corner from overload . Sleep one method.

i had a glass of wine when footy started, then i fell asleep 🤣 woke up for the extra time and penalties but i can’t sleep now !

I can't sleep either. Really disappointed about the results, but someone had to lose I suppose!
No point getting worked up about it.
Hope you manage to sleep soon OP.

Thanks Homer you too :)

Kids and dh fell asleep in seconds... Here I am over 2hrs later still wide awake and worrying about work I blame the tension of the match... And the sadness...

I’m awake with one of our dogs. She’s an anxious girl after a bad start in life but there were fireworks here after the football so she’s very upset. Hope you all fall asleep soon.

That’s one hell of a snack. Hope it does the trick. 🤣

I can't switch off either.

Trying to remind myself that it really doesn't impact on me at all and there is absolutely nothing to stay awake thinking about but it doesn't seem to be working!

Same here but also recovering from a day celebrating my 80th birthday. Watched the football although I don’t follow it I always watch the important games. However, got so emotionally involved that I can’t go to sleep. Can’t have a “snack” as I have already consumed
a million calories and don’t feel like food.

@HappydaysArehere, a Happy Belated birthday to you! 🎂

I just can't switch off and I need to be up for work at 6.30!
My busiest day tomorrow too 😥

Me too.

YANBU

the buzz is just wearing off.
I have a very sore throat so I doubt I will sleep well tonight anyway!

You and me both! And, judging by the number of rooms I see lit in my neighbourhood, we are not alone...

Sigh. It WILL come home one day

I'm in Scotland @FlowerArranger so not many others awake pondering round here 🤣

It WILL, the Euros were just the World Cup warm up. Those lads did us proud!

@DoucheCanoe Thank you for the Happy Birthday. Agree this is a warm up and gathering experience for those really young players who were so upset about their penalty kicks. Looking forward to the World Cup. Can’t believe I am saying that as I usually see it as a major interference with Corrie.
