Insomnia....

[Simon Rotheram]

Its Saturday morning, got a day off as family are coming down for the weekend to see the baby. 5am wide awake my mind doing summersaults itching to get on with something.

 

Anyone else struggle to sleep when you can get a long awaited lie in?!

[raafbeard]

Yup!! Morning ....body clock is pretty regular here...I think I should start doing something that tires me out

[Mike Hill]

Yes.I have given up on trying to sleep in.I try to get to bed early and read for abit.Cammomile Tea helps,but I find I need to put four teabags in a mug for it to work.

 

Burrdock Root is also good if you can buy it in the Root form.Grate it like Nutmeg and make tea from it.

Mornings always good for me: used to set the alarm for 4.15, be on the bike (the pedal type) for 4.40 to ride 11 miles to work for a 6am start. Ne problemo.

Awake most days around 4am, courtesy of the barrage of 3 bird-scarers going off, sounds like I'm on the Somme!! Then last night the neighbours child was screaming with pain (teething), other neighbours Rottweiler barks incessantly. Am I over-sensitive to noise, sleeping too lightly, or is the world out to just wind me up???

Opium! Works every time.

Best cure I've found for insomnia, is taking me self off to the Highlands, trecking amidst the lochs & hills, ending the nights in front of a roaring fire, in a haze of well quaffed Deeside Malt, then falling in to a sumptiously soft bed in a shuttered room and forgetting about Arbtalk for a wee while

 

 

 

Only slight niggle, is when the local bee keepers turn up in a Mog at 8am to put out their hives amongst the heather.

You guys need to work harder!!!!

 

I normally fall asleep in the chair after my tea, if our lass whats me to watch a film with her, she makes me a Strong coffee, still fall asleep unless its an interest film.

 

I can sleep in the mog at dinner some days.

 

Only kidding about the working hard bit

 

If your mind is running things over, it docent matter how tiered you are you just cannot sleep.
