I suffer from severe insomnia and have done so for about 30 years, managing on approximately 3 hours per night. It's hard but just how it is. Restless legs 24/7 is behind it all and is a constant challenge.
This afternoon dh went off to his bowls match and after a while I went to lie on the bed and read, hope for a little doze, something I just never do.
I woke up as dh arrived home after 4 and came up to the bedroom. Great I'd had an hour's nap. Chatted for 5 minutes and decided to read for a few minutes before getting up.
Wow.... Next I knew it was 8pm. 4 hours plus 1 hour..... 5 hours. Unheard of !!!
Total bliss.... Such a simple thing for most folk.... Everything to me.
