Time for an early night! / myLot

United Kingdom

June 21, 2026 4:22pm CST

I don’t know whether it’s just the time of year, the warmth or what, but I have been waking up too early recently. Basically at around 5 am every day for the past week. Last night (this morning really) I only went to bed at 12:30 am thinking I didn’t have to get up early and then I woke at 5 anyway. I do like the freshness of the early mornings and it’s great to have that extra time to get things done but I can only keep it up for so long before it catches up with me. Today I had a busy day and now I am so tired I am finding it hard to get my breath. So now I’m in bed and planning to actually be lying down with the lights off by 10:30. Hopefully it won’t be too hot to sleep! All rights reserved. © Text copyright Fleur 2026.

Good morning! Sorry, I did wake up at 4:40 but I didn't turn the computer on until now so I only just saw this. Hope you had a good night.

@Ineeddentures Yes, but not uncomfortably so. How about there?

I have trouble sleeping but eventually lack of sleep catches up and I have to have a big long nap. Hot nights are the pits.

So far the nights are not too hot for sleeping. It's just me!

@JudyEv Oh yes I already know that

. I don't accept it though. "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." as Dylan Thomas wrote. And I've already lived quite a lot longer than he did.

Pretty picture. It must be the weather or the time of the year, my sleep schedule has been terrible as of late. Nightie night & sweet dreams.

@Fleura Thank you, I got a nice new bedroom pillow, and that allows me such a deep undisturbed sleep. I wake feeling very refreshed.

Turn on your air conditioner if it's hot in the house. We run ours 24/7 now. I'm normally awake all night and sleep (take naps) during the daytime. This morning (yesterday now) I thought I'd just rest my eyes but slept straight through until 10 pm yesterday evening. I'm still tired and yawning at 2:30 am so may read for a little bit when I'm done on myLot and see if I go back to sleep again. I hope you slept well last night.

I did go to sleep at 10:30 which is really quite early for me, but then I woke at 4:40 am. I will certainly think about a nap this afternoon if there isn't too much I need to do.

@Fleura I'm glad you got to sleep earlier but waking up earlier than normal isn't good, either. I'm glad you can nap during the day if you feel you need one.
