Awake......

[mex]

Why can't I get 8 hours kip? awake...again...with the birds. My body clock is in serious need of a reset. Awake at 4:30 every chuffing morning.

Possibly anxiety over the whole situation especially with your latest setback.

Maybe, but I think I have come to terms with it,I will, all being well, be starting a new job nextweek (all be it part-time, but thats not bothering me), working for a friend, a nice cushy number too.

Ear plugs and an eye mask, lots of exercise during your waking hours?

It’s very light that time in the morning, I’ve been waking up at about 4am every day too. I tried a sleeping mask, or several, but they seem to vanish over night somewhere.
Look at some blackout curtains or blinds, might help.

I can't remember the last time I slept for more than about two and a half hours at a time.

Have you tried staying up later? I find if I go to bed before my eyes are trying to close that I get even less. I even tried going without sleep one night to see if it would work for the next night - nope!

A bottle of wine of an evening always used to work, but now I just need to pee more.

Good news about the job, well pleased for you

I have blackout blinds and lately it has been odd, me and the wife both on furlough, we can be up till 3am chimping about then go sleep and wake at lunchtime.

I find that if I wake up any time after 3:00am then there is no going back to sleep.

Rather annoyingly I have a cat that wants to be let out for its morning ablutions every day at around 3:15am. :sleep:

It's probably partly the redundancy - these things go quite deep sometimes. And all the other stuff too that's been mentioned. There's also the age factor, where as we get older sleep is more difficult - my bed has not been my friend for a long time, and waking in pain is normal.

Pain free walking is indeed a distant memory . I can fall off to sleep like a switch, no trouble there, it's the waking at stupid o'clock and not being able to get back off to sleep that p***es me off.
