Another day has dawned and lovely to hear the birds chirping way but ....been awake nearly all night and itโs like โshut up a bit ,canโt youโ. Apart from pain keeping me awake, my brain doesnโt let me sleep ๐ด either. Too many thoughts on this and that. ๐ค๐ค๐คSo just wanted to ask if anyone has any tips on how to get comfortable at night and get some sleep? Thanks ๐ Love and hugs ๐ค to all of you lovely people. Xxxxxxx๐๐

Hi
I'm like you, one hour or less sleep per night due to pain. Long hot water bottle, electric blanket help a little. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx
Hi Lynne I must get one of those long bottles. Where do you buy them? Thanks ๐ Love ๐๐ค๐ค๐คxxxx
Hi
My son bought me one off Amazon, brilliant. How are you feeling tonight? Love and hugs Lynne xxxx
Thanks Lynne. I had an on/off night again. I had to go to bed at half 7 as was in pain and felt tired. Did you have a good night? I hope so. Thanks again for your help. Love Lynn xxxx ๐ค๐ค
Hi Lynn
I'm sorry you didn't have a good night. I had no sleep, I was in too much pain. I will try and have an hour this afternoon. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx
Aw bless you Lynne. I hope you get a good hours sleep ๐ค this afternoon . Nothing worse than no sleep at all. Always feels like a long night. I hope that your pain is more manageable today. Take care and have a good day Hun . Love and big Hugs ๐ค . Lynn ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
Thank you so much for your kind words. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx
The dreaded sleeplessness ๐ก I actually have earphones in all night. I listen to audiobooks - some stories, some meditations, some sleep learning courses. I tend to get about 4 hours sleep altogether, which is a lot better than some of you but still feels lacking! When Iโve had a run of really bad nights, I do reach for the Night Nurse. Itโs not ideal, but it works! Good luck xx
Excellent ideas thanks as I find just lying about and all the moving about with jumping legs a long night. Keep the mind focused on something else I guess will help pass the time. Thanks again and hope you are doing ok. Xxxx
Youโre welcome! I forgot to say I also keep a thermos flask of either chamomile tea or low calorie hot chocolate (Iโm sure you know the brands) by the bed. This means I can have a warm drink anytime in the night without having to get up. Sometimes, this brings a little bit of comfort xxxx
Thanks again for your help. You are a star ๐. Xxx

For the 'jumping legs' try magnesium spray, personally I couldn't cope without it for the muscle cramps & restless legs.
They do a lavender one too which you might find helpful for sleep.
I just buy mine from the high street H&B & when it's on offer I stock up.
Hope it helps.
