sleepless night

Sleepless at Home

I am awake now for an hour. It is still too early for me to get up. It is still dawn here. After drinking my Guinness I was able to sleep immediately. Then in the middle of the night, I had to go to the loo, came back to bed and couldn't sleep back. I don't want to get up and make a hot chocolate as it is cosy and warm in my bed. I keep on tossing in bed that I decided to get my IPad and Mylot. I am getting tired again and I will try to sleep after this. What do you do when you can't go back to sleep? Do you read or Mylot? See you later this Sunday. Have a wonderful day!

I usually stay quiet in bed if my husband is sleeping not to wake him up.

@kepweng No, absolutely not, but I do not want to wake him up, he needs to rest.

@thelme55 I go downstairs if I want to read, but sometimes moving in the dark can be dangerous, one early morning I missed a step going down the stairs and I hurt my knee.

I am also like that @LadyDuck. I have to stay quiet not to wake my better half up. I don´t put the light on so I can´t read a magazine or a book.

Hello there, if I am awakened in the middle of the night I would pick up my phone and do myLotting, this helps me doze off to sleep.

Yes, it was fun @DianneN. It seldom happens. I usually go to the living room and drink a mug of hot chocolate and read a magazine when I can´t sleep but last night, I felt cold and didn´t want to go out of my warm blanket. I didn´t want to put on the light either and so I just Mylot with the light of my IPad.

When I can't sleep, I do what they all say you should not do. I wound up getting on my computer and doing a little bit of mylotting or going on some other site.

@thelme55 Yes, I know, I should stay off the computer, but if it takes too long why not try to be productive.

I rarely have trouble sleeping so I'd be hard pressed to provide an answer. Last night I took a cyclobenzoprene. Knocked me right out. lol

That is good that you have no trouble sleeping. What is cyclobenzoprene? Sleeping pills? Thanks @porwest

When I couldn't get back to sleep, I do the crossword puzzle of the daily newspaper until my eyes would be drooping. But sometimes it takes an hour so I could finish all the crosswords that I have in stock for the week.

Mostly I toss and turn but as soon as it's a reasonably decent hour, say 5am, then I'll get up.

I usually turn on the tv. Sometimes I can fall back to sleep, sometimes not. If I get on MyLot I tend to start thinking and then I am really wide awake.

I see. Reading brings me back to sleep and so reading discussions on Mylot made me sleepy at that time. Thanks @HazySue

I don't often get that problem but whenever that happens, I often read. Hope you have a good Sunday.

@thelme55 I ended up working a bit in the garden. A productive day (even if I dislike doing the task on a Sunday).

I hardly will be sleepless since I don't sleep enough. I can usually fall asleep so soon. If I am sleepless, I will still try to pretend I am sleeping in case to wake up my husband

Sounds like you're describing my sleep patterns. I can't reach for my laptop though when I can't sleep. I just lay there telling myself I am going to go back to sleep ... eventually. Oh! And the one thing I never do is ... LOOK AT THE CLOCK!

If I turned on my laptop I'd see what time it was. I prefer to think that I still have several hours until daylight.
