Insomniacs not so anonymous!

Hoping groceries will be delivered Thursday silver , roads should have been made passable by then. Good luck with your GP x

3.05am, mug tea , had few quite good nights, chicken last night and stomach really upset. A new dietician ,NHS, phoned yesterday , I explained I had increased the Ensure because no groceries, from two to three a day. Yesterday 30 ensures arrived from chemist ,had 27 in house, dietician said I had to increase to FOUR a day and she was sending script to chemist for 84 more. That's 141 and I have to eat meals as well. They seem sure my stomach has shrunk so I can expect the discomfort. I cancelled an oscapy at the hospital because I am not going over the bridge and then police phoned in evening , the coroners clerk told them they had to get a statement from me. Fed up, cheesed off .

Sorry, an epistle .

Sounds as if there’s a lot of pressure again annie: rest when you can. Is there someone who could be with you when the police call for your statement? I hope there will be a way you can get to hospital appointments, any way around the bridge? Look after yourself as best you can.

I shouldn't have sounded off in the night cornergran, I don't need anyone with me to give a statement. X

As long as you are ok annie

Lot going on cornergran but I have to deal with it. hugs x

3.10am, mug tea. Same old, think groceries will be delivered today. Good thaw yesterday. Miss my granddaughters , both now stay with friends in villages outside town, they don't want to be in town, in touch with their father and me . g daughter2 was here yesterday, gave her the Yahtzee game, it's nearly forty years old, three generations of us have written inside of the lid, names, dates times, my daughters aged 9 and 7, their husbands to be, the three grandchildren, sad to let it go but she loves playing it and her boyfriend wants to write in it now, so it goes on. Lesson ther I suppose.

4.05am , mug tea, so,pleased no one seems to be having sleep problems

Morning, I'm having sleep problems Annebach, you are not alone! Been awake since 3.30ish and have let the dogs out so I can have a cuppa - as soon as they hear a movement they think its time to get up so have to sort them out before anything else! Need to buy cards today as I keep forgetting and I'll be too late soon. Cant stop thinking about a shopping dilemma someone had yesterday that is of no real significance but cant get out of my head - morning Silverlining, I wonder what you did???!!!!!!!! Happy Friday to all.

I should have joined you both at four, but it was too cold to get out of bed and get the iPad, so I laid there until five with a bit of Gilbert and Sullivan going round and round in my head!!! It is still driving me mad!

Hello kitlong, lovely to see you yesterday. Yes, after lots more dilly dallying i did buy it....
didnt sleep well either, was disturbed by dh at 12.30 am and lay awake for the next two hours. Then woke again a couoke of times for good measure. Still i. D.gown, must get on.

Sorry for typing mistakes, i type the right letters but this ipad has a mind of its own.

I take all I need into the bedroom at bedtime as this 3.00am thing has been going on for ages. Kettle, mugs, iPad, phone and dogs , all on a trolley - not the dogs? And wheel them out in morning. Hate going into kitchen at night.

3.10am, same old , I am so tired,

Good morning . I have been awake since 3 and can't seem to go back . I hope this isn't it as we have a 400 mile return drive today to pick up our son from uni . I'm a terrible sleeper waking every 2 hours and my night often finishes by 430 which is bad enough ahead of a day's work but 3 is a step too far . I try not to use my iPad in the night as it's supposed to be stimulating but I was bored turning the pillow over and over .

Annie - I thought that tea ( caffeine ) was a bad for reflux and also eating / drinking within 3 hours of going to bed/ laying down ?

I drink the tea at 3.00 because the warmth eases the wind which has built up since I go to bed at midnight, I do not eat after 6.00pm the night before.

Hello Annie. Often thinking of you x

Hello Bella ?X

annie have you tried peppermint tea? That's supposed to be calming and help with indigestion. Hope you are ok x

Will try it Crafting thank you x

2.45am, reflux really bad yet ate the same as usual, baffling.

Glad fewer are having troubled nights,

I woke again at 0300 and at 0510 which is my normal pattern . I had hoped that I would have done better after yesterday's 10 hour Liverpool run on 3 hours and 41 minutes of sleep the night before , but no such luck .
I hope you are asleep now Annie .

Hello Annie and NotaGran. Listening to the hiss of Dh’s CPAP machine. It is better than listening for him to stop breathing and prodding him every few minutes . Hope you are all asleep!

Good morning Jane Does the machine disturb you frequently ?

Its 6.45am have washed,dressed had breakfast, tidied up, prepared lunch, cleaned bathroom, and I have been awake since 2,30am, not unusual for me, what does surprise me is I never seem to run out of steam during the day.
