Does anybody else suffer from insomnia and if so how do you deal with it? I'm wide awake now yet will be up at 5am and out walking my dog (who looks at me as though I am barking mad when I wake at 4am and put the kettle on lol!) Please tell me I'm not the only one......?
 
I wake at 5am and get up at 6am and go straight out with the dogs .

Have done for years :thumbsup:
 
Yep me too...Im oftenwide awake and on the laptop at 4 am..dont tell anyone lol....then go back to bed then cant get

up at the right time again....

I was up too at 4 ish this morning making a cuppa, then only just got up at 8.30am...terrible.... (w00t) I thought it was an age thing... :sweating:

but I dont lie in bed any longer ever than 8.30 unless Im ill.....

I dont got out with the dogs that early though...I definitely need breakfast before I can start my day...maybe I should try it]

instead of going back to bed and trying to sleep..zzzzzzz

Heck...how do you cope with so little sleep? :unsure:

I wish I could get up early; you get so much more done with your day. The few times I've been dragged out the house early in the morning, because one of the dogs needs the loo urgently, I've quite often stayed up and amazed myself at how much more I achieve with my day. I just compensate by going to bed earlier and not watching so much telly late in the evening. Yet ordinarily I struggle to get out of bed before 7 am for work days at 8 am for days off.

I wouldn't like to be waking up at 2-3 am though...that must be frustrating for you! :wacko:

I wake at 2-30am approx once or twice a week and can't get back to sleep for a few hours.

I make myself a drink, stare out onto the field looking for our friendly fox! :wub:

and drop back off to sleep about 4-30-5-00am....

Trouble is my alarm goes off for work at 6-15am and I'm like a zombie all day.
 
Oh well, at least I'm not the only one, that is some consolation. :thumbsup:

I saw an enormous fox crossing the road when I came in last night, just strolling along out of the estate!! Stopped the car and watched him for about 5 minutes.
 
Im complete opposite :)) could sleep through a hurricane -_- i was always a good sleeper -_- i could sleep up to 12 hours or more :wacko: :))
 
consider urself very lucky then bluebell. i would love to sleep like that but rarely get more than 4 hrs a night, but u soon get used to the lack of sleep. just a bitch when ur up and the dog is back in bed giving it zzzzzzzzz lol
 
I normally go to bed about 10ish, and i will read, watch TV or have the

radio on till 12ish.

Im normally up by 5ish and when its light mornings on the beah for 6.

In the winter i turn the pc on while im waiting for it to get light.
 
Im always interested to know if it has anything to do with the time that people were born....and the time of year...

I was born in the afternoon....in springtime....but Im not a morning person....lol.. :lol: and usally find Im more myself in the spring/summer months..

I wonder... :unsure:
 
I was born shortly after midnight in July! I guess there are allsorts of reasons, biorhythms etc but I get so frustrated when I can't sleep at night yet could fall asleep at 2pm most days!! Guess I just have a messed up bodyclock!
 
:oops: I get told off for being up late ,im a night owl
 
Been having a sleepless time over the last few nights (puppy time).

I woke up about 4am Wednesday and next slept for 3 hours between 4am and 7am Friday and then again for 2 and a half hours 10:30pm to 1am and I've been awake since :blink: .

When my Mum gets up I'm going to get a few hours before taking the dogs for a bit of club trialling, I'll be there and gone before most have even arrived but the other dogs have literally been shut out of the living room since Thursday afternoon and so they deserve a trip out ;) .
 
There is a positive side to insomnia. I love having Druridge Bay all to myself when I walk Rifle at 'stupid' o clock in the morning! We occasionally bump into other hardcore insomniac dog walkers but all the dogs know each other so it is no problem. ;)
 
Coooeeee are you awake Alison...I am... :clown:
