Thread two for the 3am crew

I have been sleeping a bit better recently. Mi still wake up around 430 but I’m an early riser. Normally, it’s the quality of sleep which bothers me.
I have loads of very odd dreams which usually puzzle me.
I have found the acupressure thing of massaging my middle fingers, to send me back to sleep, very helpful recently. Maybe some might like to try it.

Slept through till 5.30 thank goodness. The last few nights I have slept very poorly waking every 2 hours and Tuesday morning was a very early wake up.
I shall go and make a large mug of tea. Another sunny day forecast. What a treat.

I’m wide awake and have been for about an hour. I woke after a nightmare and had to check what Trump had done overnight. The nightmare was unrelated to the war, but I am not feeling very relaxed.

Hope you’re all ok 👋🙋‍♀️

I woke about an hour ago 😔
I hope that's not it for the night. Nights are long.

Not too bad a night. No long sleepless hours, but I feel quite tired still. Not to worry, a quiet day ahead .

Well I ve had a very good night went to sleep about 11.30 and just been woken up at 5.20 by my fire alarm going off ….Now it’s a new fire alarm, had it about 4/5 months, there is absolutely nothing happening no shower or cooking, obviously why on earth would a newish fire alarm go off for no reason at all ……. Very unnerving.

Another one here who has been awake for 2+ hours. I've done wordle, quordle, wordlinkle and now scrolling through various GN threads. So annoying as I have a busy family day tomorrow. Expect I'll be ready to sleep again when it's time to get up 😢

Maybe Camilla is wideawake as well and is reading the Books thread!! And KC is snoring quietly in a Royal way.
I have made a 2nd mug of tea and now back to my book set in Arran.
Grammaretto It is comforting knowing I am not the only person unable to sleep in the UK.

Hello night owls!
I don't want to join you but here I am again.
I've been up and made and drunk a large mug of tea.

I suggest that the Royals do exactly those things HelterSkelter ☺️

Looking at the newspaper headlines with my large mug of tea and I wondered what the first thing the Royal Families do when they get back indoors after dressing up for Easter Sunday.

Does Catherine throw her hat in the air, on with her jeans and flat shoes and flop on the sofa with a large mug of tea as well. The boys race around the garden with their dog/dogs. Charlotte cartwheeling across the grass. Camilla in comfy slippers and a G&T. KC off to his greenhouse. Would love to know,

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. 🙄
