If you keep on like this ask your Doc to prescribe something short term. You need to rest. Hope you get some sleep soon.

Thanks Tracey. I am doing fine thanks. Just really very busy. Had visitors for a week then went away with them, home for a week but have to go down to sort out my old cottage next week. Am hoping it is sold this time - have come close twice before this year so fingers crossed! Would not like to count up how many miles we have travelled over the last two weeks. The time is 3 days travelling so far! Just a bit tired to say the least. All I seem to do is washing and ironing and travelling. Shouldn't grumble, should be glad I am able to do it.

Do you sleep sitting up? Not as restful as lying down, but it can be done. I used to have four pillows behind me, two tucked in as arm rests and one underneath my knees. I had some anonymous stuff on my ipod - forest sounds or some other calming CD. Earphones mean you don't wake anyone up. Sitting up meant for me it was easier to breathe and the wheezing makes you tired anyway. I have a suspicion that some of the tablets they give you make you wakeful, even when you've cut out the caffeine.

Best of luck with the new pills.
