I’m having a beverage and visiting the parents, they’re a little lonely. And wondering why Snoopy doesn’t climb lol. How about a hot toddy? Will that help you sleep?
I only have wine in the house at the moment and it doesn't seem worth opening a bottle.
A brandy usually does the trick but I don't have any here.
I'll have to get myself some - for medicinal and insomnia purposes only of course!!;)

I'm back again - it's just gone 3 a.m. but I can't sleep - no reason I can think of.
So thought I'd pop back and see what you're all up to across the pond.
What’s the matter Lyn?
Are you up thinking of everything from bathroom design to putting away these darn Christmas items like me???
It’s as if when I sit on the couch I fall fast asleep. When I go to my bed I am wide awake?? What the…?
Maybe make a cup of tea?
It is 11pm here and I am sitting falling asleep with my tens machine on my back
(A little vibrating machine that soothes your muscles). I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!
but if I get under these bed covers…. ?
I may as well get a book. ?

This is an early morning for you. . . I find it hard to sleep occasionally. . .

I usually give it 15 min, if I'm still awake it put the DVR on for 5, 10 . . asleep
My Primary care Physician says to get some Melatonin

I don't know what's keeping me awake - but I find the more you think about not being able to sleep the less you are likely to be able to do it so it's better to be doing something. I have heard that you should do something like the ironing - but I'm not that desperate to sleep!!!

How about a book?
Or a news channel?
Or the weather channel?
They can get sooo boring, you’ll be out in 10 mins!

I finished my last book yesterday so need to find myself another one, I like to read before dropping off, maybe that's the problem I'm missing my book.
No tv in the bedroom but I could try the radio - the shipping forecast is very soporific!
