Thread two for the 3am crew

Morning! I was so tired that I came to bed at about 10.30 last night and now I’m wide awake. I’ve done Wordle and been to the bathroom so I should try to get back to sleep. It’s my 70th birthday today - I really don’t like that figure at all! We have a visit from my DB & SIL, plus about 20 friends for drinks and a buffet lunch, so I need some more sleep. Here goes …

Good morning, Nannytopsy, happy 70th birthday 🎂 🥂 🎁 💐 .

I laid on the bed after a day out yesterday afternoon and slept for a couple of hours, now I've been up ever since 🙄. I'm now getting tired so I'll go to bed. My body clock is all over the place due to sleepless nights.

Enjoy your birthday celebrations 🥳 🎉 🎈 x

Wideawake here, but slept quite well since 10.00 so not a bad night. Theres no rhyme or reason to good nights and bad nights. Oh well. A cup of tea I think now.
Happy Birthday Nannytopsy. A mere chicken at 70. Have a great day.

I hope I am the only one awake and all are dozing. It's twilight out there. I think of the evening as twilight but I dont think there is a specifically morning word? So twilight it is.

Dawn? 🌅

I hope you have a good night's sleep tonight 😴.

Being awake through the night is affecting my days, I have no energy and keep dozing off in my chair. I wish I could stay asleep in bed and wake up at about 8am to be awake until the evening when I go to bed.

Another broken night .
I watched a repeat of a programme that I'd seen during the day and had a hot chocolate with chocolate biscuits .
I did manage to drift off for another couple of hours .
I've looked back and recall that these poor nights seemed to started overnight with a bout of illness .

Has anyone else had a similar experience ?

After a few days of sleeping through the night here I am wideawake..
I had a covid jab yesterday afternoon and am pretty achey. So will take some paracetamol and maybe make a cup of tea.
I watched a documentary about the resue of the Thai children trapped underground in 2018 in flooded caves. What braveey shown by the divers and the young boys as well. I will make tea and read. Hopefully go back to sleep soon.

I am wide awake, think I am over tired. So much on my mind. I will read for a while & see if I can get back to sleep.

I ‘ve had three reasonable nights, but woke up just after 2. I always find something to worry about, however small.
Will roam around GN for a while and then try to sleep. Quiet day tomorrow so no problem .

I’ve been trying not to pick up my phone when I wake up, but have had another run of bad nights’ sleep. The pattern seems to be that I sleep for around four hours then wake for an hour or so, then, if I can get back to sleep I get another hour, but that’s not a given. My watch records sleep patterns, including restlessness, and if I get the extra hour it’s usually very restless.

I had a busy day yesterday and felt exhausted at about five .
The Cough began .
One of the cafes was still open and I sat in it sipping tea and trying to stop coughing .
The air felt dry and dusty .
Anything seems to trigger it off .
By the time I got home - I felt horrible .
I've slept for several hours and have been awake since four Watching Charade on TV .

I’m going through a patch of sleeping a bit better.
I get about 4 hours, then wake up for over an hour. I refuse to be defeated, don’t put the light on, finally go back to sleep very deeply got up to 2 hours.
It’s different to my other usual patterns. Most odd.

HelterSkelter1 - my Gran awake at 5 or 6 referred to the dawn as ‘halflight,’ one word, emphasis on the ‘half ‘

Im wide awake and hungry, for Ceylon tea and toast
with bitter orange marmalade.

I had to close the window its cold out there 3 degrees,
now attempting renewed slumbers, bladder allowing.

Not too bad a night. Woke twice but went back to sleep easily. Woke properly at 5 .

I’ve been awake since 11:30. DH has done a lot of gardening today and his hip and knees are giving him jip, so he has been snoring like a grampus. Banished to the spare bedroom at midnight. But I just can’t sleep.

It’s very quiet here, hopefully everyone is sound asleep.
I’m coughing and spluttering, I honestly don’t know where this cold has come from 🙄
It’s dark, cold and silent outside apart from a fox shrieking in the woods behind us.
I had a very successful car search yesterday, I have found my little automatic car, it’s a metallic orange Micra! Very bright and cheerful, lovely to drive around and, even better, nearly a direct swop for my old car. Very pleased with how things have turned out.
Today there’s a zoom painting class this morning, I need to get everything ready, looking forward to it.

I slept very nicely at the weekend.
Bliss .
But now I've been awake since three.
I had The Cough which I've fixed with an inhaler and some nice hot tea .
It's passed .
But -
I'm streaming with congestion and itching with hay fever .
So now I'm trying some antihistamines.

I'm busy tomorrow and I know that having not slept I'll struggle through the day.
