Insomnia.

ChasG said:
I think I have worked out why I can't sleep - when I was a baby I slept all night with my mum and, as my dad was on nights I slept the day with him.
I guess I have used all my sleep up:)

One other problem I have is that, conversely to most men of a certain age, I wake up thirsty several times per night.
Have checked and am not diabetic.

Do you wake up with a very dry mouth/throat, because if so, then it could mean that you were snoring with your mouth open and not realising that you were snoring.
 
Precise symptoms - thanks
 
Evening all

4 kids (and Karen) asleep at last.

Hoping for a reasonable bedtime tonight but it would be rude not to check in on TP for a few mins :)
 
Still awake. As usual

Evening (y)

Finally done all that needing doing. Working from home tomorrow so I think a glass of red wine may be in order to help lower the eyes.

Brandy here

Any more and I won't know if I fall asleep....
 
busy couple of days ahead, could do with an 'early' night, but not looking totally hopeful atm, but hey, if it carries on like this, I can go and do my baking [planned for tomorrow morning - i have stupidly agreed to take part in a charity bake off] and then have a lie in tomorrow :D

Evening Steve too. ;)
 
Bkg shout out for Yv

One of my cats has decided to wear me as a surrogate..... Where's the selfie stick when you need it......?
 
I was in Bath to pick up some bits and bobs last weekend and saw a group of Chinese/Japanese/Koreans (????) and they all had selfie sticks
... no taking pictures for each other and all trying to get the new Bath Raileay Station frontage in the background. There was ablut 20 of them and it looked mad. Another day I should have stuck my EOS M in my pocket.....

Real sleep?

I didn't do too badly last night.
Woke up at 2ish but refused to get up...too cold and I'm too much of a scrooge to heat the place overnight no I read for an hour or so.
Then managed to nod off again until just an hour ago.
I'll take that.

oooh I dislike the tag 'just saying'... SWMBO does it but I am reprogramming her. I just don't answer her. Plus this AM she made me toast witb wholemeal bread when I only eat toast made with Granary (30+ years of this forgotten), and foul tasting tea.... I buy expensive tea because I adore quality tea and she manages to destroy it????? A suitabl revenge will be exacted.....

Yes I am grumpy today

I could wake and send the missus over to do that for you.......then you could concentrate on your insomnia

Made breakfast znd caught up on snail mail

Just watching "Jeremy kyle", makes me laugh and you end up feeling better about yourself, until it sinks in that i'm paying for them to sit on their arse all day :thinking:
 
The lost people have always been with us....

Kyle is a leech but it's a living for him.
