    Really hope that you get some answers very soon @rowlandscastle444 and that you can get any help that may be needed pronto. Also hope that you have been able to get some sleep tonight.
  • Thanks @AnnaB
    Sleep still comes fitfully. It's getting on for 5:30am, so I wonder whether it's worth trying to get back to sleep. 
    Life must be the same for so many people. It provides me with time to pray for them.

  • I was, @cocciella but awake (again) about 4am.
  • It's after 1am, and my body has decided that it's okay to be awake again.  Hello fellow night-timers. Now if only I could use this time wisely, and write a book, sketch, or cook, without disturbing anyone.

    I was awake till one reading, but then managed to settle. I've had four nights like this bliss.

    Just about to get ready for bed - as I can only sleep in two hour stints I have to 'arrange' my days to manage. Sleep from 2 - 4, awake from 4 - 6, sleep 6 - 8 (sometimes if lucky manage until 9am), snooze for a siesta early pm to enable me to get round to starting the cycle again at 2am. Luckily I sleep immediately my head hits the pillow plus my great age allows me to follow the schedule that suits me and I can spend the rest of my daytime doing whatever takes my fancy (or needs doing in the general scheme of life). 
    This has been my way of sleeping for nearly four years now since I caught covid while in hospital (do suffer from long covid with its many problems, so annoying and frustrating), but the strange thing is that virtually precisely at 2am I need to sleep, I climb into bed, instant sleep but again precisely 2 hours later I will wake and am instantly wide awake and ready to get up and away. Nothing I can do to prolong those 2 hours of sleep at all. So you lovely folk, give some thought to my problem please, any suggestions gratefully received. Hope some of you manage to get a good night's sleep if possible.
  • @AnnaB Try to drink 1l Lemon Verbena tea over the day and remember what your pre-Covid time was to go to bed. Then go to bed that time and do what you did back then.
