Hi Lauren,
Sorry your having a bad night flower.
They tell me to relax, empty your brain and I do try .... but the cramp is hard to ignore :roll:
I watch a video, it helps... some people like silence but I don't really....
Jassie has done a lot of tips on one of the threads abut sleep... might be worth giving them ago?
Hope you can get some sleep soon and nice to meet you cus I haven't bumped into you before. Cris x0 -
The more you lie there awake thinking about not sleeping, the harder it becomes to get to sleep. I normally listen to my MP3, that helps, either music or a talking book. I would prefer to read, but having a slumbering husband in the same bed (and oh boy, does that grate, watching him snooze peacefully away) I cannot, as the light would wake him. And what a shame that would be.

Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
Thank you for your advice, I always read before I go to bed, and if I feel I can't get to sleep I usually listen to my ipod but for the last week or so it just hasn't worked!

Hi lauren
When I cant sleep I listen to the radio where it is only talking. It is so boring I eventually fall asleep.
OR try a warm bath and a warm milky drink.
Hpe you get some sleep tonight.

Hi Lauren,
I usually get up, have a hot chocolate/horlicks and a read in peace and quiet and within an hour I'm ready for bed again.
Found that way better than lying awake worrying about it.
Take care

Hi Lauren is it pain keeping you awake or your thoughts?
