Sleepless nights


Most nights this is Muffy and me.  She's snoring away while I'm lying in bed, hour after hour, wide awake.  I've tried everything.  Nothing works.  Some nights I don't sleep a wink, and have to drag myself upstairs at 7am, mind the kids till 8, then walk Emma to school at 9. I come home and go back to bed!

Most of my life I'm like a zombie.

You could put yourself on night duty Dianne. When my children were small I did 6 years on nights and I don't remember going to bed some days;
after I had walked Philip to 'Play School' I fell into bed and remembered nothing until he came home at 3.30pm. When I was on 'off duty days' I dare not sit down for long because my body clock was so attuned to grabbing a nod. I admit that when I stopped night duty it took me a month to readjust. xx

The best nightcap Diane is a glass of Scotch with a teaspoon of honey and add lemonade, heat but do not boil
