Sleep 💤 as if ....? Any tips on how to?

Another day has dawned and lovely to hear the birds chirping way but ....been awake nearly all night and it’s like “shut up a bit ,can’t you”. Apart from pain keeping me awake, my brain doesn’t let me sleep 😴 either. Too many thoughts on this and that. 🤔🤔🤔So just wanted to ask if anyone has any tips on how to get comfortable at night and get some sleep? Thanks 😊 Love and hugs 🤗 to all of you lovely people. Xxxxxxx😚😚

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 😊 Love 💕🤗🤗🤗xxxx

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 🤗🤗

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 💤 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 🤗 . Lynn 🤗🤗🤗🤗

The dreaded sleeplessness 😡 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 I’ve had a run of really bad nights, I do reach for the Night Nurse. It’s 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

You’re welcome! I forgot to say I also keep a thermos flask of either chamomile tea or low calorie hot chocolate (I’m 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 🌟. 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.

Hi Thanks for the tip CC. Would be great to run like I do at night, in the day instead. Hopefully you are well and had a good night. Thanks 😊. Huge hug 🤗 Xxxx
