Sleep...or lack of it.

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*

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.
