Thread two for the 3am crew

Sweet dreams, georgesgran. Grapes sores?
Hunger is not something that wakes me up, nor my bladder nor, mercifully, pain. I think it’s what my mother used to call “ill will” on the part of my body or brain 😆
Back to my usual napping through the night. I hope I manage to get through the day as it’s extra busy with the ashing in church this evening - I don’t normally go out at night as I’m too tired.

wide awake with sore eyes from readung in a dimmed light

also hungry! cannot think what I can have to eat which
is ready, digestible, doesn’t involve use of the microwave
as this will wake the neighbourhood and easy to clean my
teeth after, not cheese, meat, or fruit
I’m out of Ovaltine which usually works.

What does everyone else have to eat inthe early hours

Wide awake since 2.30. Goodness knows why. I had a run of good nights and now back to this.

I shall read and hopefully fall asleep.

I’m just off to bed now.
Night night.

Record broken . I been awake since just on 1 o’clock. Hey ho. Swings and roundabouts

Ah, right. Thank you. I didn’t think of that, but I’ve no doubt I shall be needing it again in the near future!

I was fully awake at three this morning and looked for this thread, but couldn’t find it! Dropped off eventually, but up early (for me nowadays) because we have builders in again today. I could have done with a good night’s sleep, but hey ho.

The “active” thingy wasn’t working. If you go on to threads “I’m on’, you an then post…

Wow that’s a record JandJ I ve managed 51/2 so more than happy with that

Gosh! 8 and. a half hours with just one lo visit. Wonder why ?

Been drifting in and out of sleep for a couple of hours. Not too bad overall although I’ve not woken feeling refreshed from sleep for over forty years since diagnosis with CFS then fibromyalgia, both play havoc with sleep patterns and a sense of post sleep wellbeing. A decent day is forecast, wonderful, it makes such a difference not to have grey skies. We’re meeting our grandson and his parents this morning, a real treat as their lives are more than busy. I plan to include chips in my lunch for another treat and there will be pancakes for tea. A healthy food day ? Probably not, nice though 😂. Wishing you all well.

Hi. Hope your PCC meeting went well, topsy. The one I was in, in Kent, used to take forever with different factions arguing. DH was treasurer and knew what we could afford and would try to stop the many flights of fancy. Here in Bristol, the meetings are brief, talk is mostly enlightenment, no arguments, all done in an hour. Such a difference.
I was very tired last night and was asleep by 10pm. Sleep a bit erratic, but I can’t complain about 6 hours.
Hope you are all tucked up (snoring) and relaxed , ready to face today.
Make sure you have lots of pancakes!🥞

Thank you LaCrepescule and grandmattie.I managed a couple more hours sleep.

Managed to get a coupe of hours when I dropped off about 5am. Feel surprisingly refreshed but will be dead on my feet later. Really vivid dreams this morning.
Hope all my fellow insomniacs have a good day.

Morning! I have been awake since 4, and just can’t quieten my mind. There are loads to of things to be done this week, including a PCC meeting here tonight. The dining room needs serious work before then, including hanging new curtains!
We had quite a lot of snow yesterday but it was always pretty wet and soon melted away when it turned to rain. More rain today I expect.
I hope you have all managed to doze off again.

Good morning! Although rather ragged, I have managed a few 💤 last night. Been awake for a couple of hours, trying to persuade myself to go back to sleep.
It was wet yesterday, but we had a couple of sunny intervals, and the rain wasn’t as heavy as I expected. May today be dryish!
Yes, susan, everything is far worse in the dark hours, mostly because you have time to worry!
Hope you are all tucked up and asleep - or at least had a reasonable night.

Oh brilliant thread!
Awake since 1.30am (needed the loo.)
On my phone ever since. Any hope of dropping off now? Doubt it because I normally wake at 5sm anyway. Luckily today doesn’t involve anything social because I won’t be looking my best!
Cup of tea sounds like a good idea Susan56 😊 Hope your mind will still.

Morning. Woke about an hour ago… dreaming about counting !!!
Read for a while , so think I’ll try to sleep soon.

I have been awake since just after 12 after a couple of hours sleep.Finally have given in and come down for a cup of tea.
Lots going round in my head, everything seems 10x worse at 3am.

Hello again! I woke about an hour ago after three hours sleep, now twiddling my thumbs and getting a headache from counting sheep.
I’ve done my Wordle and tried reading my book but I’m getting bored with myself.
We had lashing rain yesterday evening, hammering against the windows while I was fiddling around in my craft room. I half expected thunder it was so stormy.
Hoping for sunshine today……
Hope no one else awakens tonight x

‘Morning everyone - I hope most of you are fast asleep enjoying the 💤.
Not too bad a night, re, hours, but woke up a lot - basically, a night of naps.
I also had many weird dreams, in one of which I was being cross examined yesterday and tomorrow at the same time!
I hope the wind isn’t too cold for my walk to the paper shop and to church later. No snow though georgesgran, too warm in the SW!

Good morning ! I ve had my allotted 5 hours, and now doing my morning sudukos and other daily puzzles and games. I ll get up about 7 absolutely nothing on the books today, and its so freezing I m not sure I even want to leave the house, it’s got to be one of the most boring winters ever.

‘Morning! I awoke nearly an hour ago, given up trying to get back to sleep so had a coffee, taken painkillers for my painful ankles and had a look out of the window to see an ambulance pulling away from just along the road. I hope it’s nothing serious for the people involved.
Being deaf I don’t get awakened by noise very often but I’ve just heard a very strange rumbling noise…..looked out again but nothing to see and it wasn’t from within the house. Most odd.
It’s sort of drizzling and sleeting, no lights on in any houses, very quiet.
Nothing planned for today except the usual, I hope you are all sound asleep x

Morning! I haven’t been in for a while as I have been sleeping better. Not tonight though - wide awake! I’m taking Wegovy and my digestive system has ground to a halt this week. It’s keeping me awake.
Hope the rest of you are still sound asleep.

I've been awake since 1.00. Made the mistake of reading Mumsnet!! Funny thread about the terrifying skeleton in the Winter Olympics and an interesting one about enjoying time alone when DH is away. This OP was in her 70s.

The hours since 1.00 have flown by and I really must put the light out now and hopefully zzzz. Fingers crossed everyone else is fast asleep.
