Who else can't sleep?
Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?

Hi there @Sister ,,,yes awake through the wee hours again. As soon as the glowing numbers on the clock say 5.00 I feel I can legitimately leave my torture rack (also known as a bed). I too suffer from severe peripheral neuropathy as well as I have scleroderma which causes severe Reynaud's syndrome in my hands as well as feet. The cold is a nightmare as it sets off the Reynaud's which in turn is excruciatingly painful because of the nerve damage. I sleep with knitted gloves to help with the hands and use a heat bag at my feet. Nuke for three minutes in the microwave, and it stays warm for hours in the bed. For me the problem is keeping my hands and feet warm, without warming the rest of me too much or the night sweats leave me drenched, but that's another story.
