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?

- Kiwi_AngelMemberI'm ready for my afternoon nap now - pity this work business is getting in the way of it.
- kmakmMemberAh @Kagisha, you describe so many of our nights! Hope yours improve soon.
- KagishaMemberthanks for asking kmakm. After my lumpectomy breast still sore especially at night, got Endone from GP, that got me reasonable sleep, normally wake after three hours then on and off. Now on antibiotics to clear up persistent redness of breast, seem to work, didn't need Endone last night, but still woke up, so got up and read, followed by our cat, back to bed before five. All the best for you.
- EastmumMemberOh yes, it's so much worse when they're already asleep! Fingers crossed for you for tonight @"Kiwi Angel" ! xxxx
- Kiwi_AngelMember@Eastmum I totally get the snoring on the non snoring side!! It was worse because he went to sleep before me last night. Hopefully better tonight!!
- EastmumMemberOMG @"Kiwi Angel" - I so hear you! The doona dance is an ongoing feature of my night - actually my husband and I have a double doona each - started that when we got married 28 years (and 4 children ago) because we were both doona hogs! hahahaha - so at least I do the doona dance on my own - having said that though, I have often considered taking my doona and dancing it all the way to his face to stop the snoring! Luckily, the 'honey, please roll over on to your side' usually does the trick but I when I look over and he is snoring in the non snoring position - that's the absolute PITS! There's no improvement from there!
- kmakmMember@"Kiwi Angel" Hope so. And I hope the neighbouring kid has an exhausting day at kinder!
- Kiwi_AngelMemberAlternated all night between wearing my ass off or then freezing to death cause I had thrown the blankets off and if it wasn’t that my arthritic hip and knee ached. I tossed and turned all night which made hubby more restless and therefore snore more and then the whinging child upstairs started with another tantrum this morning - not quite mating possums but pretty damn irritating at god knows what time. Was a relief to get up at 5 and go for a walk. Hopefully the lack of sleep, exercise and day at work contributes to a better sleep tonight.
- kmakmMember@Sister @Zoffiel When I was a child we lived in England for a year. I will never forget waking in the night and being terrified by the sound of what I learned was hedgehogs mating... Can you imagine?! :D
- SisterMemberActually, @Zoffiel I think possum romance is by far preferable to hear than koala romance - that is extremely loud and unpleasant to hear.
