Why oh why am I awake at 1:43 am?

I was so tired all day and couldn't wait for bedtime. It finally arrived and my bed felt so cool and cozy. So why am I sitting here at the computer at this time of the morning? After turning over for an hour and realizing I wasn't going to sleep, I got up, poured a glass of orange/lemonade and ate four mini chocolate covered donuts. I still don't feel well with this UTI....started a different antibiotic yesterday so I'm hoping that will help soon. The two grandsons are back, so that's nice. The older one will go with me to the grocery store tomorrow to pick up a few things, then I'll fry some shrimp for dinner. I'll probably be ready for a nap by then after my middle of the night snack and half hour on myLot. Guess I'll try to go back to bed and hope to sleep this time. Hope y'all are doing well, whatever time it is wherever you are.

I hate insomnia and it is something I get fairly regularly. I like to listen to an audio book and drop off to that

I have trouble sleeping all the time; so I feel for you. I hope your UTI gets better soon. They are miserable. There is a medication you can take to stop the pain. It works like a charm.

What's the name of the medicine? I'm not in a lot of pain, though, just feel exhausted and light headed. Sick all over. I have an appt Friday with a new Urologist.

I find that I have a hard time turning off my mind sometimes. I am still wound up when I go to bed and have trouble sleeping.

I've had sleep problems for many years, but the new migraine meds I'm on have actually helped a lot. Well, until last night. But hoping tonight will be better. Have you found anything that helps you?

I didn't know that you were under the weather as well. Are you feeling better yet.

Not yet, maybe some. Saw a new Urologist today and will get an MRI soon. Plumbing issues.

Orange lemonade sounds awesome! Oh still on a UTI? That's terrible. I hope you feel better soon. Lots of water. (You probably know that) Shrimp for dinner! Nice! Have a nice nap

i think it's your medicine that keeps you up. What about cranberry juice? it was the one that healed my UTI

In my opinion it is not good Habit for weak up at 1:45 am, it is sleeping time. It good to go to bed. Good night.
