Here's the story, it's a bit of a rant, sorry but I need to get it off my chest.
I have a headache. I also have Fibromyalgia. The 2 could be linked. I've had the headache for 4 days now.Both are triggered off by lack of sleep, I haven't had a full nights sleep in a few weeks. The noise from outside is incessant - all the motorbike enthusiats from Hampshire seem to go up and down my street constantly at all hours. People going by - again at sometimes 3/4 o clock in the morning on weeknights as well. If I shut the window I get too hot, soak the bed with sweat(suffer night sweats a lot), and get a headache. Then there is the incessant bloody banging and shouting from next door. I went to bed at 9pm last night, as my head was sore, at 11pm the kids were still running around, thumping up and down the stairs. At least thats what it sounds like, I know its not loud music as they are 5, 7 and 8 it just sounds like someone standing on the stairs thumping their feet.Then from midnight until about 1pm I could hear the mopther screaming at them to go to sleep. This is every night, she seem to ahve no strict bedtime with them. I worry as well that it will waken the DSes.Then I heard the boy crying through the wall at about 4am, then I needed the loo, then DS2 got up, then I finally feel asleep, and then DS1 awoke for the day (5.45|) DH's alarm went off.
I know in the grand scheme of things it's not important, there are people on here with far worse problems than me, but I am shattered, my Fibromyalgia has flared up and I'm sure they are all connected to the not sleeping. So if anyone has any suggestions for things I could try to help me sleep (and stay asleep) that would be great
