I woke up way, way earlier than my alarm today and try as I might, sleep did not want anything to do with me. So I gave up and got up at 6 and started doing chores around the house and hustling online. I was kinda looking forward to not waking too early today as my first client starts at 11 but here I am wide awake.
If I am not sleeping might as well be productive. Now sat eating my breakfast as I think the hunger pangs were the reason I woke up early. I can’t understand why, I was very hungry as well last night when I arrived home from work I had a full bowl of risotto and I even opened tuna with my rice cause it was still not enough.
Good morning lovely people!

You are fortunate to at least have gotten a little bit of sleep. I simply cannot.

@JohnRoberts Oh god! I am so sorry to hear that. I had something similar I thought it was my cervical spine in the end it was carpal tunnel very advanced stage. The doctors could not diagnose it for 2 years and I do get how hard it is to live in pain. How long has that been going on and what did your doctor say?

) I toss and turn for one hour and then I can sleep another couple of hours.

That happens to me too sometimes, for no particular reason. One night I will sleep well and the next I will wake up at 3 or 4 am and not be able to get to sleep again, and just be very tired and grumpy. Getting up and getting things done is definitely better than just lying there getting more and more annoyed.
