Morning all...wheeeee, neti's the same as us, 1C! Not so sweti now eh? Looking even lower as the week goes on so I'll keep wafting it your way :o)
Almost half term Jude?!! I know the Easter eggs appeared last week...oooh, stop the world
Sorry you had some trouble to spoil your holiday jno...hope you get everything sorted. The main thing is you're home safe...and hopefully healthy.
Well woofy, I've had times when I dreaded going to bed, even when I was exhausted I knew it would be a waking nightmare from start to finish. I really thought I was losing it at one time. It will pass but in the meantime you need to try and get into a strict pattern, our bodies seem to understand routine even if our heads don't like it :o). Always try to go to bed and get up at the same time, whether you've slept or not...a drink might help and as a seldom drinker I found a glass of wine did help. I listen to the radio/do easy puzzles and I've got a relaxation cd given to me by a hypnotist that's so bloomin boring it often works, haha. This might sound daft but I used to hold onto something and concentrate on it, anything, a smooth pebble, a soft hanky..(bit like being a child I suppose)...and I told myself if I could keep it in my hand all would be ok. The amazing thing is I can now sleep and hold the same all item all night...no neti, not my handbag.... it's funny what you teach your body to do.
I hope you settle into a routine soon, there's nothing worse than those long hours spent awake.
It's gonna take a whole lot of motivation or hypnotism to get me out of the door today, it's sooo bleak.
