I am now considering making flapjacks. Not sure that helps!

If you've tried sleeping for 20 minutes or so and still can't, I'd go for it. You could make your life easier by making tonight's dinner instead.

Go ahead

I would do Rocky road but we are out of marshmallows…

Defo send some my way once made.

Sure, why not. I often get insomnia, and end up doing all sorts of things in the middle of the night. Brownies sounds great !

I end up doing planning for work or taking the dog out. I remember sleep fondly like an old lover.

I'm wondering about having a cup of tea and some Jaffa cakes. Feels like a good idea. Here I go.

I wish I could get up and do stuff when peri-menopause insists 5 hours of sleep is plenty, but I live with such light sleepers I'd wake them all up too.

DH has already legged it to the sofa, he does so when the peri insomnia and hot flushes get into bed with us!

Why would you NOT make brownies? You're not sleeping, you want brownies, perfect solution is to make them (or drive to the nearest 24 hour shop....lol!)

DifficultBloodyWoman · 15/09/2023 04:47

Can I come round? I’ll bring ice cream to go with the brownies!

Ragwort · 15/09/2023 04:55

I love getting up in the middle of the night and getting on with things but only do it if I am alone in the house as I am very conscious of not disturbing my DH who is a very poor sleeper (we don't share a room but he would still be aware of me wondering around - and worse - might want to come and talk to me Grin.
