Great idea! I wish you fellow night owls were here last night. It was due to my ongoing sciatica. But I promise not to whinge! Do you night owls also sleep in longer in the morning? I feel so guilty when other Grans are up and about at dawn getting on with the day.
What a good topic. A couple of times a month I struggle to get off to sleep. On Friday I didn’t get to sleep till after 4am. There wasn’t much doing on GN to take my mind off my continual thought process.
I’m often awake for an hour or so in the middle of the night. I find that reading for a while or catching up with Corrie helps me get back off, but I don’t use my phone, as a) I think it’ll make me feel even more wide awake and b) my MiFit app then assumes I’m up for the day and goes into overdrive ticking me off about the bad sleep habits.
I often have an afternoon nap, especially at this time of year. Therefore, I'm wide awake at 3 am, so I'll have a look next time to see if any other 'owls' are about.
I'm often awake in the wee small hours too. I'll pop in whenever I need a bit of company. DH and I have separate rooms, for a variety of reasons, one being the fact that since the menopause, I am hot and restless (still, after 15 years) at night. He has an early morning cleaning job to supplement the pension, and rises at 3 am on some mornings! Therefore I am at liberty to use my devices whenever I desire.
Added to that woodmouse I'm never sure if getting up to do something is helpful. So I usually toss and turn only to fall asleep an hour before I should like to get up!!
Good idea FannyC. I think previous threads have probably just got lost because they’ve dropped off the Active list if they’d not been posted on for a couple of nights.
Hello All I'm often awake in the small hours, for a variety of reasons which I'm sure that many are familiar with. So I'm starting this thread for anyone in the same position. We can chat, share our 3am worries, whatever. If you fancy popping on for whatever reason, here is the thread for all Night Owls See you later x
