Who's Still Up And Why?

[Smowball]

This insomnia isn't much fun anymore....... have tried every trick in the book but no joy...... grrrrr

[Jackdaw33]

Me. Been to bed for two hours but woke up desperate for a wee. Was going to go straight back till I noticed a half-drunk G&T and a half -smoked ciggie on my table so I could be around for the next hour or so.

[Old_Geezer]

Yes. Because it was a long journey back home.

[Mamyalynne]

Not thought about bed yet, though to be fair I haven't got to be up early.


Just done a supermarket shop.

I'm always up at this hour. My normal bedtime is near 1am...whether I'm working or not

[Caran]

Not my bedtime yet. Still doing crosswords and sudokus. And reading posts on here.

[Lie-in King]

Just moved back over here from over there, soon be heading for my pit though.

[Jackdaw33]

Pit. Good old-fashioned RAF word.

I'm reading a great book. Lucky I don't have to get up in the morning.
Just had a peep on here as I think there's a sad bit coming up in the book. Need to refresh with a drink and loo.

[Smowball]

What a lot of night owls! I got engrossed in a book after posting the question! I would so love to go to bed and have a normal full nights sleep like most people.

[pastafreak]

Smow...maybe try melatonin. Some recommendations here...

[ummmm]

Smow - Have you tried exercise? Go out for a long walk, get yourself physically tired.

That does actually work.

[Smowball]

Apart from the melatonin I've tried everything, even swimming every day. Absolutely nothing works and it's getting to the point that I don't actually feel very well.

[Old_Geezer]

Well I was out about 20 minutes later than I posted. I too would like a good night's sleep every night, but my problem isn't dropping off, it's waking up a few times and eventually being awake 2 to 3 hours before I want to. All advice I've seen have been about dropping off, not staying dropped off for 8 hours.

Ah yes, I remember it well, but wasn't there another word before 'pit'?

[Berniecuddles2]
