Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 22 May

This morning I woke around 4 am – again. It was just light and the birds were singing, which is lovely to listen to, but nevertheless I really didn’t want to be awake as I’m very tired after several mornings like this and going to...

Grumpy this morning

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 19 May

Many mornings recently I have woken up way too early. Like at 4 or 5 am when I only need to get up around 7 am. Then I find it really hard to get going when I actually do get up, and by late afternoon I’m already tired. But then I...

Not quite a dream - but still uncanny

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 7 Feb

This morning I woke up from a sort of dream; basically all it was, was a vision of a digital clock with green numbers against a black background, showing the time of 7:52. I woke up, thought ‘that was a bit odd’, looked at the...

I woke myself up early!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 7 Feb 25

I hate alarm clocks (it doesn’t feel at all natural to wake with a jump every day) but my partner is dependent on one, he will just sleep until mid-afternoon unless something wakes him. So we have compromised with a clock-radio,...

The Funeral of Charles Hine.

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 6 Aug 24

Today I went to the funeral of my cousin Charles Hine. I wore a black blouse and black trousers with black socks, but my black shoes had to be thrown out because they were rubbing my toes, and they were wearing out anyway. So I...

Does coffee make you more productive?

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 22 Jul 24

It’s an established idea isn’t it, that a coffee or two is what’s needed to get us going in the mornings and help us think more clearly and get things done. Does it work for you? I guess it might work if I lived in Italy, where...

I woke up like this...

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 30 Sep 23

As I opened my eyes, I could feel the warmth of the sun embracing me. I must say that I slept enough and was ready to grind after a few minutes online. I was invited to attend a birthday party by my aunt and the rest of the family...

Today was a good day. I woke up a couple of times during the night. Each time I looked outside it was raining. It was snowing when I got up at 4:20. I got 8 hours of sleep. I'm thankful for the eight hours of sleep I got. I...

Weird Thoughts At A 'Wake.

Kandase @Kandae11 (57233) 27 Nov 22

They call it a celebration of the deceased person's life - but is it really? Or perhaps just an opportunity to eat, drink and have fun. Last weekend my brother-in-law was finally laid to rest. The night before the funeral there...

"Flop" It did not go as planned.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 24 Aug 22

Either my phone is not fancy enough, or we live too rural, or I was just too far from the modem. Whatever, we did not make our video call appointment. She called us three times but the notices did not pop up until more than an...

My Achy Breaky Body

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 19 Jan 22

It has been three days that I am under the weather. It is because of long hours staying late during my mom's wake and doing other things, too. At this moment, I dropped by using my mobile phone. I hope I could be fine soon....

Yesterday was the last day of the school term for both girls. So no more getting up in the pitch dark this year! Hurrah! I really do not enjoy dragging myself out of bed when it’s still night, so I was really looking forward to a...

I think I’ve entered my second teenage

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 11 Oct 21

Research has shown that teenagers actually undergo physiological changes to their body clock which makes it harder for them to wake up early in the mornings. Nevertheless, most schools still start relatively early and of course...
