Trouble sleeping

A few of you have been posting about lack of sleep. Well I was having a koffy with a wood working pal of my mine who always wakes early 5:30ish. I've set the scene.

So 3 nights ago he had a headache and took some Ibrufrofen and didn't wake up till 7:00 am, so he has repeated this and now doesn't wake till approximately 7:00am.
 
I often sleep better when I take acetominophen (I still can't spell that word!). But last night I slept like a log without it.
 
Posting Fbg 12hr late! It was 5.8
Been looking after grandchildren too @Muddy Cyclist @ianpspurs and @Debandez Took them to the climbing wall then settled them into crafty afternoon making bottle lamps they can give for Christmas presents ( painting empty wine bottles and putting fairy lights in them- we have quite a lot of empty wine bottles embarrassingly)
@PenguinMum I do hope your eyes are ok now and you had a relaxing afternoon on the sofa with your cuddly pals.
@Krystyna230410 glad your eye clinic went well - shall we remind you in Dec not to stress?
@jjraak I’m loving the sound of your hippy decor.
@mojo37 I always use my phone as I don’t have a laptop. A word of warning - I got a horrible episode of rsi in my shoulder after spending too much time on the forum.

I’ve just caught a train from Euston. They were giving away empty gin bottles for free in the first class lounge - rather nice ones, but I didn’t have room in my bag. Guess you’d have preferred a full one though!

Haha yes! I don’t seem to have much trouble emptying them! However the one I usually drink has labels which must be superglued on - they’re practically impossible to get off so I would have liked an empty one really. Why on earth were they giving them away though?
 

I think because they had nice designs and corks in the top - very stylish.
 
Oh dear, I'm still partying come and join us. Last of visitors Just gone but I'm wide awake. BG 5.5 probably the red wine, good company and contentment. But now off to bed a year older than yesterday.

Sleep well one and all.
Your party sounded amazing. Happy belated birthday.
 

What a ******* nightmare for you!
 
I'm just spending an hour trying to catch up on thread. And what stands out so much is the care, compassion and humour on this thread. It's an absolute pleasure to be a part of and never fails to bring a smile to my day.

Just saying.
 
Agree, my sister struggles. It effects is all. Massively.
 
You reap what you sew. You are one of the most supportive members of this forum. Even in the face of adversity you think of others. One incredible lady.
 

I gave you a hug for the rsi. I got a horrible pain in my shoulder that I figured out was caused by spending too much time on my laptop (including on this forum).
 
I've had the same reaction 'I will just take the meds and then I can eat what I want'. But the meds are just a mop and bucket. You have to stop the leak. Head buried in sand. Health complications for that friend coming much more frequently. I'm not surprised. He has JUST decided to go low carb. Keeping everything in all goes well.

This forum has a lot to answer for!
Forgot to mention your earlier post with the birds, I loved it, very clever and witty.
 
Hallelujah I've caught up!

Love love love this thread.

@SaskiaKC anything apt emoticon wise. I wait with baited breath. I know it will bring a smile to my face.

Many different challenges for many forum.
Members. But the support on here helps immensely dont you think?

So its goodnight from me. See you in the morning my friends.
 
Thank you for these links. It does make perfect sense and I will definitely try longer fasts now - even if blood sugars go up in the short term.
