It's quarter to five................ .

Must have been the night for it gracesmum. No.2 son has flu and has been spiking very high temps so my worry beads were out last night. When I did 'drop off' the dreams I had were horrid, vivid and doom-laden!
Galen blames the weather, I think she could have a point, I don't think it's actually got light today.
So lets all have some

I either conjure up absurd images, such as Tony Blair playing Frankenfurter in the The Rocky Horror Show, or concentrate very hard on something else. I once worked out 365 different packed lunches for children when I woke to a 4 am "worry time".

The best tip is swithching on the radio , but you really have to concentrate on what is being broadcast be it music or speech.

That's sad Movedalot

Gracesmum I have that sort of meander about 1 am sometimes. I get up and go into the spare room and read until I'm almost asleep. I have very little family left alive by the time I accept that I am not going to go back to sleep.

gracemum it is so hard once those thoughts come and I have no answer, just sympathy and understanding.

I have a friend, whose great granddaughter lives with her, and lost her husband this week. The poor little 2 year old is crying and asking to be taken to see grandad and can't understand why she can't go. I don't know how she is managing to cope.

My senility showing

Galen I think Greatnan posts the jokes. Greatgran is an entirely different member.

By reading greatgrans jokes!

Oh, I know what you mean. You have to remember the phrase "worries loom larger at night". And put a personal radio on perhaps?
