Did you manage to get some sleep in the end? I drifted off after five and woke up at ten... Just hoping not to repeat tonight!

Watched Dr Who till about 6. Woke up at ten as we had a breakfast meetup with a friend... Actually, I didn't feel too cranky.

Still haven't napped though. Hoping to stave off any day time sleeping in the hope that the night will pass with my eyes shut!

Will look out for you tonight if I don't manage it.

Hopefully you'll be snoozing tonight - if not, will see you here Wink

I also failed to nap in the hope that it helps get through tonight! Fingers x'd...

A bit extreme but if things are really bad and you are not too near term you dr may proscribe sleeping tablets. I had them twice in my last pg just to take the strain off a bit. It was Zopiclone that I took. It's horrendous, I do sympathise.

Oh! Feeling sleepy. Ha! Hope you are in the same boat ishop! Still holding out a bit though so that I can possibly sleep through the entire night (at least till 6am)

Dillytante, i am psychologically not ready for meds yet... still hoping i will never have to get there. could be a bit of denial but hey ho...
