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?

- SisterMemberI didn't make it hear until 5am but that's as a result of Temazapam at 1:30am. Father-in-law's funeral today and I don't want to be a zombie - or worse, fall asleep when the extended family are gathered. (I had to fight it when we met with the funeral director - so embarrassing)
- kmakmMember1.12am. Wide awake. Completely wired, as if I've had half a dozen coffees when in fact haven't had coffee in over a week. Gargh!
- kmakmMemberUsual for me, chunks with ceiling staring big gaps and lots of doona flinging as the hot flushes broke. Have a wonderful day @sister!
- SisterMemberI got 2 lots of 3 hour which is the most I've had in days (weeks?) but I resorted to Tamazepam - one before I went to bed then another as soon as I woke up in the night. Managed to mostly sleep until 5.
The excitement is too much...yesterday new bathers and today I'm heading off to the Look Good, Feel Better workshop. - ZoffielMember5 is the magic number for me too. It's officially morning so there is no point lying there hoping any more.
- AllyJayMemberOh let me give thanks to the Cosmic Clowns that the evil glowing numbers have finally changed to 5:00 and I can legitimately get up. Kettle's just boiled and after a quick browse on the computer, I can retire to my boudoir and get on with my knitting. Next rude beanie about a third finished as well as other bits and pieces keeping me busy. Hope you other night owls got some sleep as last night was another of those buggers for me!
- kmakmMember@sister Read your report while I was in hospital this afternoon, cheered me no end. Sounds like a terrific appointment! What a wonderful service, I'm so glad you've got some nice gear. And wow, thank goodness you didn't cancel your health insurance. Phew!
- SisterMember@kmakm The bra lady (well, actually the bra lady's daughter who works with her) has just been. It's a mobile mastectomy fitting shop and they even come all the way out to me and tradies won't even do that! I got a bra that, while not gorgeous, at least won't put too much pressure on my port so I may be able to wear for longer than an hour before I start to go crazy. I also got a swimming prosthesis and 2! mastectomy bathers - one is gorgeous and one is purely practical for exercise. My health fund (the one we almost cancelled!) will cover 75% of the cost so my husband said to get both if I wanted (I wanted but wouldn't have). And I've still got enough left in the limit to get some nicer bras when I finally get the port out!
@JJ70 So good to hear that someone is sleeping! And yes, I think a nice bottle is in order for my friend. - JJ70MemberMorning All. Rolled over to see 5:20 on the clock...yippee!! 11 pm -2...awake for about half an hour...thought about getting up...next thing it is 5:20. YAY! Aiming for a personal training session today, so glad I got a failry good night's sleep.
Such good news about the States Sister. That wonderful retired friend needs a bottle or packet of her favourite treat. - kmakmMember@sister "the bra lady"? How interesting. I know nothing about this yet. I would love hear how you get on.
