    Morning Shiels! Lovely pic! Hope you sleep better tonight. If I cannot sleep I do the same as you - get up and enter some comps to tire myself out and it works every time. If I just lie in bed I never seem to get back to sleep and feel myself getting more and more frustrated as I watch the clock hands go round!

    Enjoy your day xxx 2438085-happyvd.gif
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    great idea to comp when not being able to sleep :)
    I could hear something scrunching about in the garden around
    4.30 this morning & had a look out & it was a hedgehog :eek:
    got the torch out to check & yes he/she was
    snuffling about in the gravel area where the
    flower pots are :j
    was lovely to watch :j

    Ha ha great GC pic Bella. Yes the comping works but I have to try to get up without wakening DH who needs loads of sleep!

    Love hedgehogs FF - they look so cute. Haven't seen one for ages. Quite often seen them on road here with their babies. In fact last year stopped a car to let some get across the road safely!

    I am late in today as I was up for an hour through the night as I couldn't sleep. Did a bit of comping and tired my eyes - works everytime.

    Always find being on a pc perked me back up
    don't know if you use a tablet or pc but there is a programme called sleepbug. Basically it plays some ambient noises. I get to sleep in about 15 mins now instead of 1-2 hours of having the tv on

    Never heard of that Sax - sounds interesting.
    I can usually get to sleep OK. It is if I waken up that I can't get back to sleep. It is so annoying that DH sleeps like a log for at least 8hrs every night!
