I find that a brisk walk home from a pub can cure insomnia, and the few pints drunk might help too.Yet again super envious of people who can just go to bed , close their eyes and go to sleep !
Went to bed (booze-less ) early as got to be up for an early drive . Gave up after over 3 hours of not one bit of sleep, and now after my cup of warm milk to try to make me sleepy, just dreading the next 4 hours lying there trying to get at least a few minutes kip .
I've never measured my heat rate during my sleep but don't doubt that.
Unfortunately I couldn't do that last night as I was driving early .
as he's also had a few pints and completely zonked out on his back snoring for England)
I did have a few rare good nights sleep after my Pfizer Jabs ..... Booster is due from this thursday , so fingers crossed it has the same effect...
Same, although my problem is STAYING asleep. I fall asleep in seconds, seem to have 2 - 4 hours of amazing heavy deep sleep, but then the slightest thing wakes me. It's so frustrating, and the earlier I have to get up, the less likely I am to stay asleep at all which is no joke, as I have to be up for work at 5.30am, 3 - 4 times a week.
Which ones? I tried Nytol years ago and had really bad hallucinations of rats running out of the air vent in the bedrooms chimney!

"12pm" is ambiguous, "12 noon" presumably being meant.Had a bit of a decent sleep last night , only waking up about 5 times throughout the night . Could have been the 3 cans of cider , mixed with cocktail of steroid spray the doc gave me yesterday , anti-histamines they said to try as well , relief of car passing it's MOT (£300 service & MOT bill a bit of a shock though) , and lots of running around here there and everywhere .
Yes , actually managed to get a face to face appointment within a couple of hours yesterday once past the receptionists.......
After pharmacist advising me to ring doctor surgery straight away , did that. Rang at 9am and said pharmacy had advised me to ring....told off by receptionist because "you are supposed to only ring at 8am and 12pm" apparently! Asked if I could wait and ring back another day as they were busy . When I said no , was told they would make a note of it on doctors list , and see if they had time to ring me if they thought essential
Ring back within the hour , and after discussing symptoms was asked to attend an appointment an hour later where I had my own service & MOT.
You should be able to ring any damm time, especially if the pharm has told you to contact the GP, the "receptionist" should run you through the triage questions noting that you have spoken to a pharm and then that gets passed onto a GP to make a decision, it is not and should never be that you are "told off" the staff are there to help you not berate you, this could very deter folk from ringing and severe/serious issues could be ignored till it's too late, you really should consider raising this with the practice manager as i believe someone needs retraining, the days of "Gate guardians" are gone and it is totally unprofessional to speak to patients in this wayHad a bit of a decent sleep last night , only waking up about 5 times throughout the night .

I had them prescribed by the consultant so not a clue what they were called. Sorry.
No worries, night nurse it is!
No.
I fitted 4 doubles, a corner and single wardrobe early this year. It took me 2 full days. It's not something I would want to repeat.Ordered a wardrobe from IKEA. I had a quick look at the assembly instructions and think I will need to book a couple of days off work!
