Posted on 12/01/2019 20:21 by redfaceI tend to wake up at about 2 o/c, am., when my brain suddenly clicks into gear and remembers the answer to a question posed earlier the previous day.
Damned nuisance as it happens!

Know the feeling well or something similar. Often used to compose very difficult correspondence about 2am! Just used to write or type up ready for the morrow, easy to drift off afterwards. Wasnt particularly concerned about it at the end of the day but a bit of kip and bang. Funny things our brains!
These days I can still be wired in the middle of the night but work stress has gone 😀. I just accept that unlike my OH I'm alert and ready if i wake, no hour or 2 coming round 😂😂😤😤 and tune into the spoken word and relax. More often than not I soon fall asleep again.

Posted on 11/01/2019 22:18 by WherenextDo any of you remember your dreams? I have never been able to, apart from tiny fragments which make no sense. Mrs WN can tell you everything, verbatim even, which can be very trying for her as she doesn't seem to get much benefit from the sleep. She doesn't like reading fiction before sleep as it can be the basis of her dream.

Posted on 12/01/2019 17:10 by moulesyJust take the van to a club site for a couple of weeks then, David, instead of going to Cuba next year - that'll solve the problem!
Actually, might want to pick your brains about Cuba later in the year - although we're not off to Sri Lanka for another month yet, it's never to early to start planning for 2020!
I'm lucky, I think, in that, nowadays I seem to be able to nod off at will so long distance travel doesn't affect me, but it always takes Mrs M a few days to catch up, doesn't seem to make any difference if we're going east or west! Different story when I was working, though, and had several spells of difficulty sleeping - one of the benefits of retirement!

Redface:.....so you wake up, before I even think about going to bed. I certainly haven't been to bed before about 3am this week - and sometimes much later. Mind you, I do sometimes drop off in the chair for very short snaps (but not on Thursdays or Friday's when I am out taking choir practices). I take beginning to not off in the chair ias my que for going to bed.
I didn't get back from Singers practice until about 11.45pm tonight. I've watched several catch-up TV programmes. Have answered some emails, have had a look around CT and have got on with choosing hymns for services in February. I can still carry on for a bit before going to bed....
I don't go to bed until I am sure I'm ready to sleep. Fortunately, once I'm asleep I tend not to wake up until it's time to get up.
David..... 2am (all but a minute... 😀)
