Posting here for traffic. My insomnia is back. I'm wide awake, stressed to hell, have an early start tomorrow and three full on weeks before the end of term.
I can't take any more time off.
Hints? Tips?

Ooooh good reminder! I am usually ready and waiting to check at midnight but totally missed it was today. No wins this month though so that's now just an extra disappointment 😆

I find my Snoozeband helps. I have some sleep playlists. BBC sounds has some things to play including the Sleeping Forecast. Literally soothing music and the shipping forecast.
I’ve ordered sleep patches from Wonderpatch ( half price) I’ve been using their Immunity ones. Worth a try.

My meeting went badly. I'm a bit shaken. So prob speak to more of you later!

So sorry to hear that, OP. I suppose it’s over at least. There will be people to listen when you’re ready.

Oh no OP hope you are OK. Are you in a union? Did you have a rep or anyone with you?

Yes, have contacted the union. Am hopeful it will be OK. Just more stress in the short term!

Just discovered Wonderpatch sleep patches been using the Immunity ones.
Only my second night last night but slept so much better! First night I more or less slept right through which I’ve not done for a few years now.

My friend is prescribed medical weed to help her sleep/reduce anxiety. She just has a small bit of a THC gummy bear late evening most nights. Seems to knock her out. 😑

Worried about kids, money, health, family. The usual shit. Have an HR meeting tomorrow, which is going to be difficult. Embarrassing as a client has complained about me.
Might have to get up. House is cold.

So sorry OP

This happened exactly this time of year 5 years ago

I tried to compete work remotely due to shut downs and a client complained to the head of my division

She tore me to shreds

She had been giving other team members hell and then went nuclear on me
I remember I used to sleep maybe 2-4 hours per night due to the stress

It was horrendous

My very wonderful manager said

What a load of hot air over nothing

She put me through hell

Sending all the best wishes to you
Try not to stress
Some people are idiots !!!!!
