I woke up after going to bed at 05:00am, normalish time for me. It helps having my partner in Florida. I normally get up around 10:00am of 11:000am. 4-5 Hours sleep!
But if I go to bed say 11:00pm, I will be asleep until 2:00am. Why can I not Have to fight for sleep? Perhaps if I was in the States with Barry, I might be ok? xx

Jump to repliesHI suzy,
Do you take anything to help you sleep hun?
I had horrible sleep patterns two years ago, i used to be awake constantly in bed then day came and all i wanted to do was sleep, but still couldnt manage anymore than half an hour.
I begged my gp to do something as i had kids and i was no use to them. She tried me on amitriplyn and it helps me so much.
Its not alright for everybody and somepeople i have heard it doesnt work atall.
I hope you find something that helps as its horrible not sleeping, you can join diddles club, as she never sleeps. 
hugs, kel xxxx
