Sleep...or lack of it.

[dimity_blue]

It's amazing how long you can spend trying to get to sleep. Tonight, it's joint pain that's keeping me awake.

I think I've been awake since about 2. I must have dozed on and off as there's no way I've been awake for 5 hours.

Paracetamol isn't working either.

ETA: And now my gas central heating isn't working either. :o(

Aw, I'm sorry! It's awful how once you have a couple of sleepless nights they just seem to breed more. *hugs*

More and more and more! And now my gas central heating has stopped working.

Thanks. *hugs*

Urgh. I hate sleeplessness. With me it's usually a brain that won't shut up. Sorry to hear you're so uncomfortable.

Maya Angelou wrote a little poem about insomnia that sums it up very well, I think:

There are some nights when
sleep plays coy,
aloof and disdainful.
And all the wiles
that I employ to win
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride,
and much more painful.

Wow, spot on, Dr. Angelou.

And the brain that won't shut up? Yep! Add teeth grinding to that.

Thanks! <3

ROFL! I should have expected that! Of course The Struts did the perfect song!
