Keep calm and carry on....

Thanks Jessy, I'm not a great sleeper most of the time TBH, but it had been a bit better the last few weeks since I'm not "going" to work. I'm normally OK getting off to sleep (and usually struggle to stay awake), but then wake up in the night and feel wide awake and the randomest thoughts get stuck in my head. Last night (despite trying very hard not to) my brain fixated for ages on trying to remember the name of someone I came across very fleetingly through my old job as our two businesses had done some work together. That was about 8 or 9 years ago and was in no way something I needed to know - especially not right then! Sadly, I did eventually remember it 😡

The good news is, it's never usually two nights in a row, as I'm too tired by the second day. It might alternate between sleeping/not sleeping for a couple of nights, but hopefully not!

Hope you get a better night tonight. Glad that your safety net is building.

I'm alive! Took a few minutes to drop off, was awake for about 15 minutes in the night and then woke up around 6-ish, but I'll take that! 

Work today and then I'm off for the weekend. These 4-day weeks are exhausting 😂! My look up the value of my mileage claim for some motivation if I find myself flagging later. 

Have good days all

Glad you got a better night’s sleep SC. That’s exactly the same issue I have - rarely the initial falling asleep but the waking up and not getting back to sleep because of stupid brain! So frustrating!

Glad you got a better night's sleep, SC! It is ridiculous the random things you suddenly think of in the middle of the night that stop you going back to sleep. Never a way to make millions of pounds though is it?! 😂

Sleep is beautiful. Glad you are feeling better.

Same here, but the most random thoughts keeping me awake or if not that, very strange vivid dreams!

South_coast

Yeah, I get the dreams too. Usually means something is on my mind, even if I'm not conscious of it during waking hours

Am deeply distressed about Oasis and Warehouse going into administration (first-world problems, I know). Between them, they account for about 85% of my wardrobe 😯

At least I'm not going to be splashing out on new clothes now 😢

Ooh, just remembered I forgot to report on the real win of the week. BF rang me yesterday afternoon to see if I wanted anything from Sainsbury's. I asked for pizza and bread (Lidl ones are no substitute). He turned up later with....two pizzas, a loaf of bread, and....nothing else! Result 😀! And that's without me giving him specific instructions about not going "off list" (I did wince as he was rummaging around in the car boot, as I suddenly remembered I hadn't mentioned that he must stick to the list, but it turned out all was well!) Hurrah!
