Another - another long night 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

[Eiram50]

Laying here hoping if I'm still, I'll be able to just drift off- well it's not happening! Admitting defeat and now going to start the ironing !!

Moaned enough yesterday - so just putting it out there

[popsmith1874]

Snap lay for an hour tossing and turning now up watching match of the day from Sunday😬

[Eiram50 in reply to popsmith1874]

Got to be some highlights, I guess ! It's a bugger though, isn't it? I can here deep breathing and snoring from all the rooms in the house - torture .

I hope at some point, you can get some quality rest Popsmith.

Morning suzannedale

I'm hoping you've had some sleep tonight?!

[Hidden in reply to Eiram50]

It's the early evening here as we just finished dinner. I do hope I don't have problems sleeping tonight. My mind is racing though.

What's bothering you? It must be past midnight in the UK.

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

It is 3.30am here in the Uk darling.xxxx

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

what are you doing awake Sylvi?

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Face hurts round my right eye and i still have the virus that won't leave me. On day i think it has gone and by the afternoon bam it is there hammering me again.xxxxxx

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

Oh so sorry to hear this Sylvi. How long have you had the virus?

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Since before christmas darling.xxx

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

Well that's bloody frustrating!! You have my permission to whinge. I know I would be whinging.

[Eiram50 in reply to sylvi]

That sounds horrible Sylvi. I hope

You start to feel better, really soon.

Marie

[sylvi in reply to Eiram50]

Thanks darling.xxx

[Eiram50 in reply to Hidden]

Nothing is bothering me? I'm Certainly in. I more pain than usual. Just the way it has been for a good year and half. I did have a go at sleeping tablets ( three months) but they were doing nothing for me.

Still, fair getting through this ironing though!

[sylvi]

You are not alone i have been down here since 1am,i have tried to sleep without much success.xxxxx

[Eiram50 in reply to sylvi]

Ironing done, out of shower ( wide awake now!!) and

Going to make cup of tea and watch dragons den!!

Wishing you all a good day and sylvi, I hope yours doesn't involve too much .

Marie

[sylvi in reply to Eiram50]

It won't darling.xxxxx

[Phoo2]

Oh Hun - that's what we are here for!! Moan away!!!! No sleep is like torture ... poor u xx

[stbernhard]

No sleep is self torture indeed. It took me quite a while, but thankfully I now manage to meditate my way back to sleep and stop my mind from being creative in the middle of the night. I know it doesn't work for everybody. I hope you find a way to get some well deserved slumber.

[Eiram50 in reply to stbernhard]

Thank you stbernhard.

[janmary]

Me too. cleaning the kitchen at 3.30am (with one hand, other hurting). did go back to sleep at 6.30 for an hour- I'm so glad I'm retired - how do you young ones with work and/or young kids cope? Lost in admiration.....

[Eiram50 in reply to janmary]

And a cat and a dog!! I do it the same way we all do it Janmary - we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and get on with it. For me, there is no other option.

However, thank you for your kind words .

You have my sympathy!!! I writhed all night in my sleep and am sore and exhausted. Waiting for the plumber to sort the hot water and then I'll have a lovely long, hot bath. Usually does the trick.

[Eiram50 in reply to Jay-bird]

God I'd love a hot bath. Since having both hip and both knees replaced last year, I cannot get in and out a bath so have been deprived of this pleasure for nearly two years - still I have a fab wet room and the shower is great. If it's not a bath 😒

[Happygranny1958]

Me too, not much sleep struggling with sciatica and muscle spasms. Torture trying to get downstairs. X

[Eiram50 in reply to Happygranny1958]

I feel you Happygranny. Sciatic, to me is like toothache- just allows for no respite.

Wishing you well

If you are prescribed painkillers, I find taking codeine in the evening helps with sleep, as does Amitriptyline, but even the lowest dose of that makes me sleep for days, so I prefer codeine only.

[Eiram50 in reply to BoneyC]

Thanks Boneyc

I've had amitriptyline before. It unfortunately , it didn't toning for me. I do take tramadol and they do take the edge off the pain but do I thing for me in terms of sleep? I've also had various sleeping tablets that helped initially then stoped.

I don't know now whether I e just developed a bad sleeping pattern/ habit over time so I'm trying to address this through routine etc.

Thanks so much for your input .
