Cannot sleep 💤 😴

Does anyone else have this problem

[Ruth12345]

Yes. Im sat reading this forum. I know we are not ment have screens on as that doesnt help, but it gives me something to do. Dont know about you, but ill be awake for quite a while now, anything between 1 and 3 hours. I decided last year to try and not stress about being awake during the night and tell myself ... at least my body is resting ... that helps mostly. How do you deal with it?

[Mmrr]

Yup, regular wakening time for me too. 😩😔😕

It is just crazy not being able to sleep, put my daughter to bed after reading her a story, truth be known I felt asleep on her bed as usual for an hour. Woke up came downstairs and here I am again wide awake.

I do not take phones to bed as for me a bedroom is for sleeping. Just sitting downstairs with the window open as it is very quiet outside.

Fed up with counting sheep at night

No matter what time I go to bed I wake around 1.30 for a couple of hours. I too try not to stress about it , but it is difficult when I'm so fatigued most days.

[Hidden in reply to Mmrr]

I know that feeling when you are just so tired, too risky taking a sleeping pill in case little one needs me in the night.

[Ruth12345 in reply to Mmrr]

I agree, i feel like i sleep in shifts. Fall asleep around 10 after an hour or so in bed then awake middle of the night then back to sleep who knows when. Yes must be so much harder with little ones. Well done to you.

Now sitting outside having a coffee, I know it is bad to have at night but if there is no sign of sleep then I might as well enjoy the fresh air

[Ruth12345 in reply to Hidden]

Sounds nice

[Mmrr in reply to Ruth12345]

I'm putting my light out...here''s hoping....😪😪😪😪😪

[Ruth12345 in reply to Mmrr]

Good luck

[Ruth12345]

Walking round wakes oh, but light from fone doesnt. I agree fones in bedroom not good. Its a bad habbit I got into when the children were high teens low twentys and I wanted to be in bed but contactable and it was needed then and havent stopped. Yes, this is a time of day I usually see.

[Hidden in reply to Ruth12345]

No stars out tonight

[Ruth12345 in reply to Hidden]

Thats a shame. At least it wont be too cold then.

[Hidden in reply to Ruth12345]

Just wearing shoots and a tee shirt

[Mmrr in reply to Hidden]

A few stars in the sky in Scotland. Its much colder at night than even a week or so ago

[Ruth12345 in reply to Mmrr]

Just had a peak and a few stars out here in the north east too. Im surprised as window open a tiny bit and it is not too cold.

[Hidden in reply to Ruth12345]

I am in Devon, I have noticed that the temperature has dropped at night but it is still mild here

[Ruth12345 in reply to Hidden]

Lovely place to live. Few degrees warmer there than here usually

[Hidden in reply to Ruth12345]

It can get cold, when I moved back to UK after years of working overseas there was snow here and it was very cold

[Ruth12345 in reply to Hidden]

Gosh, i expect you noticed the difference. I dont mind it up here but it does get windy. Ive got used to it now tho.

[Hidden in reply to Ruth12345]

I was looking i the north for property, although some of them are stunning it is a little too far north for me

[Ruth12345 in reply to Hidden]

I understand that. I still cant believe I live so far north and have lived up here for over 30 years. Its great tho, especially being so near to Scotland. Took me about 10 years to say that tho.

[Hidden in reply to Ruth12345]

I have been to Edinburgh this year as have a friend who has a stunning old Scottish manor there, it is near a red bridge that used to only have a ferry. Don’t ask me where at this time of the morning 😝 the next time I go north it will be in a motorhome and will be a fun adventure exploring

[Ruth12345 in reply to Hidden]

That sounds lovely. Takes us about 2.5 hrs to get to Edinbro.

Well think im going to try and get some rest. Been lovely chatting. Thanks for starting it off. Hope you manage to sleep soon. Take care. 🌕✨

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

I am still up

[popsmith1874]

I seem to go through stages as up half the night, then sleeping all night and then waking up a few times and sometimes struggling to get up in the morning,this disease does some weird things to our bodies

[Hidden in reply to popsmith1874]

Or is it the pills
