It’s 5 am. Worst if the storm should be coming between now and 9 am. Am awake.

Up at 4:30 all week. I get up with hope that it’s later and then look at the clock.

Welp, I’m up with no signs of being able to get another wink. If it was acceptable to take a walk at 3:30am I would do it.

I should have checked here too. Woke around 2:30a, turned on the news and have been up since then. I’ll be early to bed tonight.

I had sleep issue for 5-6 years, turned out to be I had low iron due to fibroids. I had my uterus removed last year and sleeping like a baby since the surgery. I can’t believe the change. Low iron makes the body week leg moves at night, make me go pee multiple time at night. Now 8hrs solid sleep. So please check your iron level.

What’s with the winky face, @MarylandJOE ?

I finally began taking 1mg of melatonin. It definitely does the job. I thought it made me groggy when I woke up in the morning. Not as long as I don’t combine with wine or gummies. Of course I wake up to pee a couple of times during the night, but I keep my bedroom cold so I have incentive to get right back under the covers.

@oldmom4896 - I’ve heard the cold temp is key. My partner upped the heater at night (I’m always cold during day). I woke up at 1:30 AM cooking!

I listen to podcasts to fall back to sleep at night, sometimes. Last night a podcast host made it into my dreams as a key character. Think I need a new back-to-sleep routine, lol

@jym626 I was up! Lately I have been falling asleep at 9 and waking up at 3am or so. Six hours seems to be the limit for me. Ugh. It makes for a long day!

It’s 3 :04 am where I currently am. Dealt with a grandkid who woke up crying and is currently in our bed sideways! Pushed DH to head to the couch to sleep

I was wondering if you did the sleepover. Hope you got some halfway decent sleep.

Ugh. Neighbor’s irrigation well pump is squealing and woke me up from a sound sleep at 3:15. It’s now almost 5. Shouldn’t it shut off by now?
