My cup of tea at 5h30 has done little to help me get back to sleep, perhaps milk might have been a better idea.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Allegedly its the vitamin thylamine in milk which helps you sleep.Reading about all these types of insomnia may also help...............yawnhttp://stresseddmbltb.blogspot.com/2007/09/25332.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Well I had a reasonable night's sleep. Recipe: get up early, spend the day on buses, plane, taxi; arrive back at a freezing cold house (left heating off when we left as it was a new, almost untried boiler), wade through 5 weeks of post, go to chilly bed feeling cold, but with a hottie. It worked! Of course, nn OH with warm feet helps!GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I slept from 11.30 til now!!Recipe: have a bad back, take painkillers, and anti inflamatory pills........... [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkeybar kid Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Mornin Frenchie,what have you been doing to give yourself a bad back? when it goes cold we get dodgy knees.Amazing the weather here in the SW, night before last went to minus one degrees, last night we sat out and had a BBQ till midnight,temp read 18 degrees. Have poked my head outside just now and its raining and feels warm,weird.Hope the back rights itself.MBKOOp's forgot to ask, would you like tea or coffee?

Gardengirl Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Well, I've done the emails, so now it's time for a hot milk. Anyone else want one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Morning!!Too late for the milk gardengirl..I slept not too bad..I think it is linked to the medecine I take for my back.. Hope you don't feel too tired GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Good morning. Glad you had a reasonable night, Frenchie, but a pity it's linked to your bad back.I was up by 3.00 UK time. I had an minor operation yesterday, with a very bad night worrying the night before, and an early start yesterday morning. So I had been hoping for a decent night's sleep, especially with taking painkillers, but it didn't work out that way. The warm milk this morning didn't work either, but as OH has woken up, I'm going to take my breakfast back to my cosy bed, then read for a while.

Gardengirl Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks for your messages, Frenchie and Milkeybarkid. It wasn't too bad, and thank goodness it's over for now.Luckily, my OH is very good at TLC, and happily cooks as and when, shops, hoovers etc. Our two sons are equally well trained!Today he's putting in the new bath, we hope. It should have been yesterday, but after dropping me at the hospital, trips to B& Q, Screwfix etc for bits and pieces, fielding phone calls and neighbours popping in, he didn't get it done. Plus the water pipe kept dripping, so he couldn't solder the new pipe on under where the new bath will be going.He removed everything from the bathroom before our most recent trip to France, and it all went off via Freecycle (wonderful institution!). We do have another WC and basin, so no problems there, but it's off to our son'e house 5 minutes away for showers and baths.We're hoping the bath will be safely installed by tonight, as well as lots of TLC!

Frenchie Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 What I love is a nap in the afternoon when I'm not working...But for now.. it's the usual insomnia....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ditto Frenchie - up since 1.30am but at least I don't have to work today. It's not good trying to concentrate on 3 hours sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Oh no, I know the feeling!I'm not working today either, so a little nap on the way this PM..That's why I'm not too bothered about not being able to sleep now...I could do a bit of packing now ( starting moving on next friday), [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Where are you moving Frenchie? I'll be packing tomorrow - but only a week in France. I'm really looking forward to it as it will be the first time we have all been for about 15 months. I go pretty regularly (I work flexi-time so I can build up time) and have done lots of DIY since the rest of the family went so it will be fun to show them what has been done!

milkeybar kid Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Mornin all, missed 2 hits on my homoeopathy pills, so it could be the reason I have not slept much in the night , well, so I tell myself!How exciting Frenchie moving house.Do you feel quite organized? Tea , coffee perhaps porridge this morning Frenchie?anyone else want porridge? Brrr lit the fire for the first time last night so its feeling warm and cosy here this morning, a few embers ticking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Oh yes, I'm sure you'll have a great time!!I'm only moving 12 km from where I currently live, into a small village in the countryside.The house is bigger, the garden is bigger , but what makes me sad is that my 15 year old son is sad about leaving this house, really sad..So that sometimes I wonder if i'm doing the right thing, but hey... too late for regrets!
