A thread for the 3 am crew

Dozed off yesterday and had a daymare though it wasn't as bad as the one that I had before .
I got ready to go put at five and started to feel really off - wheezy and a sore throat.
Slept for nine hours .

Good morning all.
After two decent nights I have been awake for a couple of hours now.
I have been to the loo twice, tossed and turned to no avail and have now opened my iPad which I try not to do as Iknow I will read now and that will be a mistake.
I learned the evening before last of the death of a friend which was unexpected and yesterday was spent reminiscing with others and has kept my mind turning over and over .
Out for a family meal tonight so I must try to relax either now or with a nap later or I shall be too tired to enjoy.
Sorry I am rambling now, the sign of being over tired.

Bore da ladies. Back to waking in the middle of the night. I’ve been making lists in my head for half an hour. I think I’ll read my kindle for a while and then try to sleep again.

Do you all dream in colour?

I bet you were glad to wake up there, Esmay.

Oh, a bad night! After not to going to sleep by 2, I went downstairs to try some filing, and it eventually worked by 3am. As I currently have a heavy cold, I now have a brain completely unsuited to the day ahead...

I had rather a broken night and several confusing dreams. I was so cross with DH this morning for doing something daft in a dream! Poor man. He apologised!

Esmay
That’s dreadful, even in a dream. Certainly not as WS says, a “ Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care.”
I’d rather stay awake. Have a good day.

After a happy and calm day yesterday I had a terrible night and woke up after a terrifying nightmare in which I was knifed by a family member and laughed at and disbelieved by medical staff .
I was glad to wake up !

Whooppeee

Miracle….just woken up..

Morning hope everyone is feeling ok after a variety of wakes I have had a good night just a 3 am wake and then after a wee off to zzzz again till 5
Have a good day folks I m off to work at 8 so up now for a shower
Got my Christmas jumper out hahaha
I m trying

That was a good night for a change. I’ve a load of things to do so I’m debating whether to get up and go or snuggle down and read.

I hope the pill worked a second time, utbb. A good night is such a bonus, isn’t it.

Been awake since 0330, but it was uninterrupted. Brilliant, and I was tired after a mega long and busy day.

Last night in desperation I took an antihistamine and slept for over 6 hours, a minor miracle.
Fluke or not I shall try again tonight, I feel so much better today.

Really this is just for a chat and to feel you’re not alone Georgesgran it doesn’t have to be a sleeping chart 🤣

Just a moan or a groan or any old thing, weather anything going on anything worrying you, just a general chat so people don’t feel so lonely in the middle of the night

I know people often can’t sleep with things on their minds and it’s good to know there’s someone there to share it with even in the wee dark hours 🤗

Hi bad night here, off and on all night, finally gave up at 5. I’ve got a busy day too, shopping this morning, dog sitting at lunch time then the school run.

Despite a fractured night, I managed enough 💤. I have a busy day ahead and shan’t manage my usual postprandial nap.

Unlike you, Helter, I have absolutely no worries of any sort, no pain, just can’t manage an uninterrupted night’s sleep. I wonder why.

Hi Mollygo. I am wideawake too. Made a cup of tea and have sorted some paperwork which has been sitting in a pile waiting. Easy to do sitting in bed with a rubbish bin on the floor beside me ready.

At least its gone 3 and not midnight. There is no rhyme nor reason. I am not cold and didn't need the loo. Just woke up. I have many DH health worries but not especially extra worried tonight.

I will drink my tea and then read my book and hope for a bit more zzzzzz.

Haven’t posted on here for a while, because it’s just on repeat. I don’t go to bed until 2am, and I’m quite content to get 4 hours sleep - it doesn’t concern me at all - that’s my normal. It’s very cold here in Durham and the heating firing up has woken me. Might nip downstairs for a cuppa, but then again, might not.

Morning all
Dead on 3 am today, anyway I m warm, cuddled down in my sleeping bag i ve put the radio on for a little while and probably do a few online puzzles then see what happens
I hope everyone is warm and pain free and manages to nod off for a bit longer

It’s another bad night here. You would think that an evening at aquafit would mean a good night.
Not tonight.

Well said BlueBelle from this day forth I will go with the flow. Not analyse what gave me a rubbish night. Onward and upward.

It was an interesting thought to consider the number if hours slept across the week. Maybe it evens out? I don't know. Am off to find my calculator...

Me too, blue, I accept things as they are but I’m just curious.
