katyjay 5,091 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 My friends 'up north' and I, are of a certain age, where you wake during the night and find it hard to get back to sleep. We used to joke that we should invent a device on your phone (this was when we all had land lines) that had a list of us all, and when you woke in the night, you'd press a button, and your name lit up on everyone elses phone. When they woke up they could see who else was awake and have a chat. It would have wiled away the time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have periods of insomnia where nothing can get me to sleep. Ive tried everything but sometimes it doesnt work. Usually I hit the internet and prowl the forums. When I used to live in a village in the south Durham area I would simply get up, take the dog out and watch the dawn come up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,600 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I look at the illuminated digital clock by the bed and try and work out when it's going to change to the next minute by counting seconds in my head. Or I count my pulse rate, also looking at the clock. It's so boring I often fall asleep doing it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 When I go to bed I always think about something or other and I keep thinking about it until I get up in the morning. So, have I been asleep and my initial thoughts continued as dreams, or have I been awake all the time and just been resting? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 If it's a particular problem you are thinking about, is it resolved or part resolved when you wake up? That happens to me sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 39 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I am terrible at trying to get off to sleep, I will often still be awake in the early hours just thinking I wish I could fall a sleep. When I do eventually get off to sleep, it's time to get up and then I feel cheated. Maybe I should stop having a power nap during the day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
