Thread two for the 3am crew

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!

Oh. I thought I’d slept until 7.00, but in fact it was really 6.00. Another four hours.

Walk to get the papers this morning… Will it be still dark. Looking forward to a light evening though L shall now spend all dad wondering what the’real time’ is. Drives DH mad.😂

I've been awake since 4 😥 which is the new 3

After 10 years I think I know how to change the car clock. 😃

I'm being picked up at about 9 by car to reccie a walk we are planning to lead in May.
It's an hour's drive to get to the start. This is the 3rd choice. I hope the last.

I'll make a cuppa and try to get a bit more sleep.

<<hugs and waves to anyone awake >> ‘morning grandMattie, Bellasnana and UTBB

It’s obviously dark still and very quiet but I’m wide awake 🙄, I presume my bedroom clock has changed the time itself, unlike the ones in my Shed and the car which I tend to ignore so for 6 months of the year they’re wrong!
I’m going to have a nice coffee and snuggle down with my book, if I go downstairs the dogs will think it’s breakfast and walk time, I’m not that enthusiastic to get going!

I’ll have a nap after lunch, bella. I can figure out the other clocks - I seem to have dozens (3 in the kitchen alone) but the bedside one baffles me. But since it’s only twice a year, I’ve forgotten how to do it by the next time, if I ever understood how. It’s more luck that I manage the change! 😆

Hello UTBB and grandMattie. All of us awake in our little corners of the world.

I’ve got the boys again today as DD3 has gone to Florence with her teaching colleague. I enjoyed having them yesterday but they wore me out! DGS2 in particular never stops! I think he’s inherited a lot of my late DH’s character, always on the go and interested in everything. His brother is calmer and more laid back and obsessed with dinosaurs!

I hope you manage to sort your clocks out gM. I’ve just got the one in the car to do but it’s easy. My cooker doesn’t have a clock and I mostly rely on my phone and/or iPad for telling the time.

Hope you get some 😴😴. I’m not even going to try now.

Not a happy bunny! I changed the bedroom clock with great effort. I have no real idea what happened or how, but I managed to set the alarm for 0300. Now I can’t go back to sleep in spite of giving myself a good talking to!
Trouble is that I have no idea how to undo it. Impress all sorts of buttons and eventually it disappears,mon,y to happen again when the clocks next change…. 😡
I’m so sorry both of you are not sleeping due to anxiety and sadness. 🫂

I’m awake Bella I don’t usually join in this thread, I did at the beginning but don’t know why I stopped.
You are not worrying about nothing, you have legitimate concerns, your family will be widespread and you are sad about that, anybody would be.
It is a slight bright spot that communication is so easy these days.
You can speak face to face daily , allowing for time changes, if you want but it isn’t the same as knowing you can have a hug if you want one.
Those delightful boys are going to be a huge comfort to you.

My mobile and iPad have changed the hour but I still keep a landline and that has to be done manually as does the cooker clock and two battery wall clocks.
I will get someone else to do those, I can’t reach.
Try to get someone else rest I shall read a while.

Anybody else awake? My brain has been overthinking for the past hour so I’ve given up trying to sleep. I’m going to make a cup of tea and put the clock in the living room forward. All the others do it by themselves!

I hope you are all sleeping soundly,😴😴😴

Oh dear so many upsets and worries I really do wish you all some peace and less worries and far less health problems My normal quarter to four just playing games on my iPad Hope to get to the allotment today fingers crossed it stays fine

Me too, I missed your hospitalisation, topsy. I hope all has settled down and you are now out of hospital.
May all of you with so much anxiety have a better —night— day.
Shhh, but I seem to be sleeping better atm. I still wake up about now, but then I go to bed early as there’s no point sleeping uncomfortably in front of the tv!
Hugs to all ❤️

I’ve been awake since 2.30, I listened to a podcast for an hour but still didn’t drift off. I’m now downstairs as I don’t want to disturb DH.
I’ve just caught up with the posts from Thursday. I’m sorry that several posters have such real worries.
Life can be so hard and cruel at times.
I hope daylight brings a better day for everyone.

I missed that you were in hospital Nannytopsy get well soon.

Thanks MayBee I enjoyed the video but I am still awake 😂😥 the battery has drained on my phone so it's back to the radio.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
I hope we all get a bit more sleep.

Nannytopsy

Well I haven’t got to sleep yet 😳
I am relaxed, warm, comfortable and pain free (as long as I stay still!) and absolutely wide awake. The ward is pretty quiet but no sleep despite opioids. Should be out tomorrow!
I hope you had a better night Bellasnana
