Well, I'm still up. Not been sleeping well for a while now.

Nor me. I try to turn the light of at 1.00, even if I'm not tired, as usually I can get to sleep then if I try, but lately I've been waking again at about 3.00 and lying awake for ages. I don't know why, but it's irritating.

Yes night owl here - I don’t drop off till about 1.30 a.m.

It's 1.45am and I'm still up though in my dressing gown and just about ready to think of going to bed. I popped in a hot water bottle as no heating on this evening. I have had restless legs syndrome 24/7 for 40 years and find this is the best time to hope to get to sleep while reading. Usually I only get a couple of hours then wide awake and up again. It doesn't help that I also have a painful hip which doctors think is coming from my lumber region and am awaiting an MRI. Sorry to have rambled there (some background) but this is my first post in this thread.

Sorry about your hip. Maybe tonight will be a good night. Reading is an amazingly good way to go to sleep get back to sleep. Some nights I measure how well I’ve slept by how low my Kindle battery is. Tonight’s going to be one of those nights.

Hello ? I’m here too

I am also awake having been woken up about 20 minutes ago by an Uber driver who rang 3 times insisting that a car had been ordered on my number.
I now cannot get back to sleep, hence me scrolling through GN.
I hope the night owls soon go off again, I doubt I will.

I’m just going back up to try again.
Had a cup of decaf tea and a look at the stars which seem very bright tonight.
