Thoughts at 2.30 something ...AM
- 26 August 2011 02:44123012When you're lying awake with a dismal headache
and repose is tabood by anxiety,
I perceive you may chose any language you chose to indulge in, without impropriety.
Your brain is on fire, the bedclothes conspire of your usual slumber to plunder you.
First the counterpane goes and uncovers your toes,
then the sheet slips demurely from under you!
......and so back to bed xx

There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok". - 26 August 2011 07:52123039Sometimes Jacqui, thoughts can keep you awake all night and then your no good for the next day.
I've got up and done some computer work, cleared my head and gone back to bed - by that time, it's time to get up.

26 August 2011 08:17123055When my brain refuses to go to sleep I have a hot drink and watch tv, there is always some mind numbing programme to find in the middle of the night, this works nine times out of ten.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

26 August 2011 08:29123058When I was poorly a couple of years ago I resorted to my mp3 player. I now know all the Sherlock Holmes stories (unabridged) off by heart. It was very handy laying in the K & C, it drowned out all the moans and groans around me.

BTW It came from Tesco, very few facilities just play and skip. The good thing about it is that goes for days on an AAA cell.Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 26 August 2011 08:39123062I so know that feeling, I suffer with insomnia. I refuse to take sleeping pills of any kind so find a relaxing soak in the bath sometimes helps. I also try to breathe deeply and slowly, relaxing each part of my body from feet up. It doesn't always work of course and my mind can go off in all different directions but sometimes it does lull me to sleep. Yes things always seem so much worse at night.

As forumites will note I post early hours as sleep is something which I require very little of ,3 -4 hours max something I appear to have inherited from my father... that and his gold watch.
But there is something about the night and dawn which is special. It makes one glad to be alive. So I suppose my advice is don't fight it but enjoy it,the peace, the tranquility and the non nagging wife and kids.
