Night Owls

Right, I'm going to be terribly stupid here (I blame myMum!). Is the pillow string to be lengthwise or around the middle please? Laugh if you must. It's allowed. I am, nonetheless, serious. Ta.

Hi Kim 19 The pillow should be tied in the middle.
I used a fine cotton scarf, but you could use string. Tie directly around the pillow, then put on the under and top pillowcases. You then have two fat ends and a centre neck rest. Do not put the pillow under your shoulders. Comfy sleeping.

Thanks Aldom. I'm certainly going to try this

Fanny, I never search for anything. Simply hit on the active trending stuff.

Kim no me neither (apart from our Night Owls thread).
I also use the 'I'm On' button, I find that useful.
I searched for it because Rufus mentioned it a few times on other threads.
Speaking of whom, I haven't noticed him about for a while. Hope he's ok.

Previous Night Owls thread was full.

Hi Nana3, the first one is, but Night Owls Part Two- wit, Two -Woo is no where near full.
Not that it matters, just saying!

Speaking of whom, I haven't noticed him about for a while. Hope he's ok
*Fanny C. Aw Shucks! Comforting to know you think of me now and again! Thanks for your concern and now I'm 94 I've been told to act my age so less pot-stirring; something you accused me of doing when we first met
Talk of giving a dog a bad name! But I forgave you!
Actually, you haven't noticed, but I've shifted my allegiance to a new thread concerned with tortoises!
Reminds me of that funny .One foot in the Grave.
I haven't dared look in on the owlets lately for fear of being hit with a barrage of pillows; Tortoises are now my thing!
Much more sedate!
Not sure what you're on about with the 'I'm On' button; I always start off with it!
Good Health

To answer your question Nana3 no I followed my usual routine as I want to get back in track. I have a type of chronic fatigue so I’m used to feeling rubbish. I’m seeing a consultant but he hasn’t sorted me out. I doubt he will now as I am 74, but heyho I’m still breathing. ?

I doubt he will now as I am 74
Are you the same NanKate who acted as DJ at my 91st virtual birthday bash just after I enlisted in GN? and then dumped me later for something I said, of which I know not what!
74 is the new whatever and you've a long winding road still to enjoy.

NanKate so sorry to hear about the chronic fatigue, sending best wishes for a better night.

94 Rufus2! That’s an achievement to be proud of!!
Thank you Molly, but it was nothing really
Clean Living and learning how to keep my cool!

It's St Swithin's Day tomorrow today, so looking forward to lots of rain, at least until 24th August!

Good morning Night Owls, I'm awake at sunrise, the sky is a pale gold.
Another scorcher today

Hello! I've been awake for a while too. Watched West Side Story. Yep, sure looks promising of another lovely day. Three in a row. Remarkable! I've four cousins descending on me today. Really looking forward to it as they're a crazy bunch.

I used to be forever punching my pillow trying to get comfortable. But no more. Some time ago I bought a small triangular shaped memory foam pillow that is made to go between the knees to take the pressure off your hips. One night I tried it as a neck pillow and found it to be the perfect shape and support. I’ve been using it for well over a year and it’s ideal for me as a side sleeper. No more sore neck/shoulder upon waking up. I’m a poor sleeper and usually get 2 or 3 shifts of a couple of hours each. But know that my pillow will not be the issue.
Being diagnosed with sleep apnea and getting a Cpap machine was another massive benefit.

Meant to get back about the pillow tie idea. It worked well at first-so I wasn’t on here in the early hours. As soon as it got hot though I sweated so much that I went back to an ordinary pillow with a cooling pillow case (from Lidl). I’ll keep it in mind for later this year.

Mollygo I'm sleeping about 8 hours each night during the heat wave, still using my pillow tied in the middle.

I'm realise the last activity on here was July 2021 by the way but,
Is everyone sleeping okay these days? searched for the
Night Owls Part Two- wit, Two -Woo thread but cannot find, I had good sleep last night which was so good and a pleasant
change

Hello lemsip good to hear you had a good sleep, me too.
I wonder how other night owls are getting on?

Nana3 Hello to you....good to hear you slept well too. I was searching for this site two nights ago when sleep couldn't be had so searched it out today.....
Where's FannyCornforth theses days.

Anyone awake

I m awake I ve had a good night but usually wake by 4 am
How’s everyone ?

I don't go to bed till midnight hoping I'll sleep longer. annoying when I wake after 4 hours and it's hard to get back to sleep so I get up go through and make a cuppa put tele on and watch some rubbish then back to bed for a while.
Had a very good night recently, why can't i get two in a row? lol

Sh*t, sh*t and sh*t.
Suffering from a headache I took two paracetamols when I went to bed (around 11)
Three hours later I am buzzing and checking in the WPB I see I took two Paracetamol Plus - ie with caffeine.
So I have now had a cup of Pukka night time tea, a Kalms and a (full drowsy) Piriton. Normally that would have felled me even before I got as far as the bed. But not this time ?????

Morning all how’s it going ?
