Also messed up. For some reason I am going to bed later when I should be going earlier, possibly because I snooze in the earlier evening while watching something. Then I am up at 3 or 4. Ugh.
Been up since 5….

I was up from 4-6. Finally fell back asleep and got a couple more hours. I wish I knew the answer to this.
Up off and on all night. will try to get more sleep now.

DH had been up most of the previous night helping with a high system update at work, and then ran a 5k yesterday! So he was pretty tired. So we went to bed really early for us and I got more sleep last night than I have in eons!!! Miracle!

I woke up too early today like the last few days but managed to fall back asleep. Then I dreamed. I commonly dream about travel and large buildings, but this dream was about being on a train that was built like a cruise ship. I was traveling with husband and son, and left our cabin/seats to find breakfast. First I found the Continental breakfast car, then went hunting for the full service meal. I still have very detailed memories of the entire buffet and how happy I was to finally find the pancake bar around a corner. And the people lined up to get food!
Then I tried to get back to our seats which I could not do. I found the shops, luggage storage, gym, medical bay, etc., but not the seats even after asking for help. I occasionally glanced out the window (when I was near one). We passed through Los Angeles and there were giant animated Spider-Man figures swinging by. We went over a river north of San Francisco where people were rafting. And still I wandered the train looking for husband and son. I woke up just as I was approaching yet another crew member.
Interpretations? I blame the newspaper (which had an article yesterday about possible new train routes to avoid the cliff in Del Mar) and my brother (who called son yesterday and I know is going on a cruise in January). So my sleeping mind conflated the two?
I’m up since 2am. I fell asleep at 10, woke up for the loo, and can’t fall back asleep. I’m past menopause but my body still gets weird at night - not sweaty hot flashes but I do get hot and then cold. Under the blankets, on top of blankets. Stress about dumb work stuff and a wake/funeral this week. I made a cup of chamomile tea and here I am. I usually try to stay off my phone but I’m wide awake. Also there’s a little snow outside and a full moon and I’m listening to my dog snore away so that’s good stuff.
And now I can’t fall asleep!
I just watched Leave the World Behind so may not be able to fall asleep!
Still awake. Just finished a speech for a kiddush luncheon at synagogue tomorrow. Am worried about my friend in Ohio whose mom has advanced lung cancer. She’s going to be all alone and has battled depression for many years. Will be calling her often so she can vent, but doesn’t have to do the mental work about thinking she’d feel better if she called a friend. Will probably head out there after we get back from the west coast.
So much stuff to do. Shipped out a quilt today. Sent a box of stuff to S2 and DIL, but still haven’t started on the handmade holiday gifts for S1, S2 or DIL. That’ll be another package. Need to have S1’s cat pillow done before we leave in ten days. Trying to figure out a Plan B if the dog farm where our pup is staying while we’re gone decides to send her home if she has a cough. Need to schedule surgery for a time when I don’t need to drive or walk for six weeks. HA! Usually making my lists calms my mind, but there is just SO MUCH.
Was up til 3 and now it’s 6:50
Wow, that’s a lot! Your friend sounds a lot like mine who just lost her only sibling to cancer. Her parents died in 2020 and 2021. I worry about her a lot. She never married but has a nice partner, although he lives in another town so they see each other only on weekends. She retired last year and is at loose ends. Ugh. She’s brilliant and kind, but very shy. She flew up here twice this year and I went to see her in Texas last month. I wish I could do more.
I am getting over a bad case of COVID, sleeping a lot of the day and slept 9 hours straight last night. Not a desired remedy for insomnia but interesting experience. My entire life I have slept 5 hours/night.

Well, I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 4:30. I’m still scrolling, trying to get tired enough to go back to sleep, but I’m not sure that will happen.
I will say I’ve been in a funk about Christmas, but read enough threads here (cookies, trees, gifts) to get me interested in trying to accomplish something today, even if it’s something small.

I hope the threads help you and not make things more painful. <3

Ugh, so sorry 
I woke up at 4ish also, wondering what I am forgetting to pack for our upcoming trip and worrying about weather, travel, whether the car size we reserved really be available, etc… But I somehow managed to get back to sleep.
