I cant sleep again tonight again - i thought that its the end of the week I'll have a bottle of Hereford cider and relax watching bit TV then go bed at reasonable time 11.30ish - but just spend last few hours trying to sleep and its just not happening
I saw the insomnia programme advertised but never got chance to watch it, I'll get it on catch up - did anyone watch it - were there any helpful remedies

I watched it and it was interesting and suggested some things that might help but it depends on what keeps you awake. For me I have trouble switching my mind off.

If you look for it on catch up look under T for Tonight not W like I did. The Exp and Star listing was misleading.

Going to do my crossword now!

Hope you get some more kip ... I will probably get a bit more.

I was made radio active again yesterday, and I was lying awake in
the dark with thousands of sparkling dots in front of my eyes,
quite pretty if slightly unnerving, now I can't get back to sleep.

I've got insomnia again, this time its because i have my second redundancy meeting tmw and i know that we are restructuring and i am going to have to reapply for my own job or show an interest in the other posts left. I keep telling my self that if I'm made redundant i will just get a another job better paid and better opportunities for promotion into senior management. but then I'm happy where i am so hope its all going to work out ok for me.

In these times of uncertainty it pays to list all the good things you have in your life

*sigh Here I am once again....I shouldn't complain as I've had a good run of staying asleep, but tonight it seems that I MUST stay awake to listen to the husband snore - its the most important thing in the world & sleep no longer matters....yawn....

Fell asleep in chair so went to bed – woke up as soon as my head hit the pillow so got up again cause self-help debt letters keep going round and round in my mind.

So I went on adviser net public site found the examples of debt letters adapted them for anyone to use and them e mailed them to myself to use with the standard debt pack.

I’ll try sleeping now but my brain seems to want to move on to the benefit pack and the consumer pack.

Its good when I get the inspiration work smarter but no good for my sleeping

I’ve tried relaxing with wine, I’ll move on to hot chocolate not and try to to think about employment pack
