Thread two for the 3am crew

Wideawake now at 2.00 and thought it must be 6.00. I seem to sleep in 2 hour chunks at the moment.
I will make a cup of tea and then hop onto the Books thread and see what GNs are reading. I picked up a book by Kirsty Wark the radio presenter and it's really good so far. I shall dip back into that as well. I hope everyone else is fast asleep.

Vincennes it happens I afraid they grow up and no longer need us if his mum starts work at 8 he would probably have to be up 7 or 7,30 to be dropped off so you can see why doesn’t want to come to start the day so early especially if he’s got a brother to look after him at home
Don’t worry about him playing games it’s what happens. Why not invite him to sleep over once a week and then you could take him out for the next day but don’t be upset if that’s not what he wants they do grow out of us. He’ll maybe grow back in again when he gets older.

I’ve read for 90 minutes as per my resolution, but have finished my book and am still wide awake. I have no real plans for tomorrow but would rather not spend it feeling tired.

I haven’t gone back to sleep yet. 4 hours awake. I’ll be a wreck in the morning

I'm awake again with my restless legs, which won't let me sleep. I have set my alarm for 09.20 but I don't know if I will get up at that time. I might sleep in konger if it takes me a while to drop off again.

On my 2nd tea break of the night on Tesco nightshift,2 hours to go then off till Wednesday,This is how boring my life is atm that Taxi home after last shift of the week is a highlight 🤣

I've always looked after grandchildren youngest is 9 now. My daughter informed me he won't be coming anymore. Doesn't like having to get up early to be dropped off as she starts work at 8 am. His brother who is almost 16 is looking after him. All they do is stay indoors play games online. I feel I served my purpose and no longer needed .

Wide awake club here. Been awake for a while.
Checked outside for any wind damage but everything seems fine.
Wondering if I have enough food for the family buffet lunch tomorrow and going through the timings for the hot food!
Hope everyone nods off soon.
Happy Easter 🐣🐣

Good morning. No sleep as yet. Just cannot switch off despite a fairly busy day which included a walk. My head seems so full of thoughts and worries and "what ifs" once I'm in bed and it's dark and quiet.
Well, it's not so quiet tonight. Storm Dave is
raging outside. The wind against the house is very noisy. OH is snoring softly.

Rather than get up I read my Kindle and
played a couple of games of Sudoku on my iPad.
The family are coming over to ours for dinner tomorrow so another busy day. I am now worrying myself that I really do need to sleep or everything will be an uphill struggle.
Think I'll go downstairs for a cuppa (decaff) and wrap myself up on the sofa and watch a bit of TV. I seem to nod off that way.
Night night to others awake in the wee small hours.

I’ve been awake since around one. Just playing Solitaire and I read for a bit. Quieter outside now so will try to sleep
. DD and Dyson in law coming for lunch , so I have to be a bit more on the ball.
Pasg Hapus everyone

I’m taking a cup of tea up to bed now. It’s about my usual time to retire. The wind and rain are so wild, I don’t think I’ll try to sleep. TV’s on for 24 hours in A&E.

Hope you manage to get back to sleep Nanatopsy. It’s worse being awake when you’re not at home.

Morning Bellasnana! We are visiting and came to bed earlier than normal. I have been awake since 1.30. I’m not in pain nor uncomfortable, just annoyingly wide awake.

I’ve been awake for half an hour and am having a cup of tea as it’s too late to go back to sleep and too early to get up.

It’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop but my brain is working overtime as usual. 🙄

Me too, grammaretto, I’ve been awake for the last 3 hours. It really annoys rather than worry me. I’m like a wrung out rag when I have so little sleep.
Much in my heart and prayers,*roses*.

I have had hardly any sleep so just made a cuppa and will try for an hour before facing the day.

I hope you've managed some sleep after your appointment Roses but perhaps there's too much going through your head.

Woke at 4 to a great big moon shining in through the window. Lovely outside. Silent and silvery.

Only came to bed at 12.30 and been awake since 4.30. I was so tired last night I thought I would sleep longer.
You are in my thoughts Roses, it is a lot to process.

I ‘ve been reading for a while but thought to sign in now it’s nearly three.
April is here hurray!

A bit of a rarity for me as I'm usually asleep at this time. I stayed up late as I was researching something online. I did actually find what I was looking for (electric shavers and replacement heads - I'll get one or the other).

I'm hoping to be up around 8am but I won’t set an alarm.

I am sorry Roses that you are having to go down that path. Having a diagnosis and a plan in place is the first step and having that can being a little calm. I hope you are back to sleep now and can rest. You must have been on high alert for days.
Now the evenings are a lot lighter I am going to try to go to bed later and hope my first waking up gets later as well. I woke at 11.30 and then 1.30 which I had hoped was 4.30 at least.
Oh well Wordle then read.

Well, here I am again!
The appointment went pretty much as I expected, so more scans and biopsies then chemotherapy/immunotherapy so by mid May there should be a treatment plan. I will be seen by oncology and everything will be planned out by them.
It seems a bit unreal, I’m glad it’s not all in my head as I was beginning to wonder!
Just hoping I get back to sleep ….

Eight hours straight with just one trip to the loo. Unheard of !
Watched just to episodes of ‘The other Bennet Sister’. Saved the rest for today. Lovely

Hello anyone awake. I went to bed early and watched the final episodes of The Other Bennet Sister. What a lovely series.

I hope you are asleep RosesandLilac. And that your appointment today goes well.

I woke at 12.00 for a while and now ŵideawake from 4.00.. A cup of tea I think and a read. I doubt if I will go back to sleep now.

👋🏻 helloooo!
Inevitability I’m tossing and turning and have now given up trying to sleep, too much whizzing around in my brain 🙄
At least I might find out a bit more at my respiratory clinic appointment this morning and therefore feel a bit more prepared. Luckily I can get there by car/bus unlike if I get referred onto Bristol which will necessitate a taxi. Will face that if it happens.
I hope I get some sleep tonight!
