Insomniacs unite

[LoveDaisy]

How is everyone? I had one of those horrible nights where I was awake until I gave up and got up at 4am. I feel so sick to my stomach. But at least I need to be at work in a couple of hours.

I’m sorry you are sick and have to go into work. Hoping you feel better quickly.

I woke up to a ruckus, apparently there was some sort of battle to control the bathtub.

Thanks. I don’t really think I’m sick. Just feel icky because I’m so flipping tired. I used to feel like this when we tented. I think of it as the camping feeling. It was similar when I worked night shift.Maybe tonight will be better. How are things with you Love?

Sorry to hear. Hopefully you can get through the day and sleep better tonight.

I was awake from around 2:00-3:00am. I made myself stay in bed because I really need the rest. Off to work now after drinking a nice cup of tea.

Cats are so weird! My last cat was a rescue persian. My vet thinks these two weirdos are Russian blues so I named them Boris and Natasha

I love that!
Mine was a rescue from a fire. Sadly the owner died. He was called Smokey and he smelled of it for days. I had cats from age 3 until about 32 years ago when my son developed a serious allergy to them. Now the kids are moved and we could get a cat but my husband says he really doesn’t want one.

Well, I truly am sleeping better these days. Less stress right now.

I’m on the couch tonight so not sure how well I’m going to sleep, but better than in bed with my hubby. He’s having a colonoscopy tomorrow so it’s going to be long night for him.

Frowny or laughing emoji. Your choice!

The battle to rule the bathtub continued last night. If I wasn’t so tired it would be hysterical. They stand on opposite sides of the shower curtain liner and battle for control with the liner between them. Maybe they like the noise it makes? Little furry weirdos!

this week was a mish mash. 2 days up around 4:45, followed by 2 really good nights of sleep, and today up at 3:50ish. At least I"m teleworking today, can stay in comfy clothes, and hope I can think clearly enough as the day goes on, but weekend is near!

oh my goodness, what funny, playful little sweeties you have! one of our 3 kitties loves the bathtub. If he's not trying to drink from the faucet, he's playing in the curtain, or just running around. Funny kitties!

Been suffering with insomnia on and off for the last year or so.
Seemed better recently.

Been waking up at 3AM this week.

Went to bed at 8PM last night to try and catch up - woke up at 1AM - finally gave up at 3AM and got out of bed. My wife says I was lucky to get 5 hours so...IDK.

That’s great! So happy you are doing better.
I was up all night but it was because DH is wicked sick. scared me last night not breathing right at all.. I’m just home from ER to get some stuff and now I’m headed back. He’s being admitted. Turns out despite home test being negative he still has Covid.

3am is the bane of my existence

I read that blood sugar shifts about 3 AM and can cause you to wake up. 3 seems to be the witching hour.

Yup. It is pretty much when the body resets for the day. My glucose is pretty stable now but it used to be really low around 3 which woke me. It was one of the things that led me to being diagnosed with diabetes.

After years of working wonky schedules, I finally have the opportunity to sleep 8 hrs. I always knew I wasn’t a great sleeper but now that I can sleep whenever I want, and I can’t…pretty much proves I’ve always been an insomniac. ️

I can usually fall asleep ok. Especially if I’ve worked out during the day. But. I’m awake around 3-4am and then my mind gets on the hamster wheel.

I probably should be taking a magnesium supplement.
