Meri and I have just started a new cold (the old one was boring) and the coughing is really getting annoying, so we took some 12 hour cough suppressant syrup just before bed. Didn't realize it was a stimulant. Found out this morning she didn't sleep well either. Poor kid!
A couch in a hotel... for no particular reason.
On that rare occasion there are evenings after supper that I feel like a total veg. So I might indulge and just laze away watching tv on my bed. Around bedtime, my legs are not ready to go sleep! Every muscle in my body is screaming, MOVE ME!!! I might go do a few stretches and exercises then try to get to sleep again, usually with some success.
But last night, it went on and on. Every muscle did NOT want to be lazing away in bed. BUT it's 12:30am!!! I tossed and turned, miserable.
Sometime around 1am I heard a dog barking somewhere in the house...
toss*turn
I must have drifted off a little but I woke up around 3:30am and the tv was on. Robb was getting caught up on all the tivoed shows that he'd missed last week that I'd already seen. I told him I'd only been kidding about him getting up at 3:30 to get caught up... I put a pillow over my head and tried to get back to sleep.
And just to show him how miserably I slept, I made sure that I moved a little every now and then to let him know that I wasn't lying about a bad night. No way was I going to snore in front of him and have him doubt my night! That in itself was exhausting!
So anyway, no one was more thankful when the sun came up than me.
Looking forward to bed time tonight!

Something woke me up at 3:30, but I was able to go back to sleep. I hate those sleepless nights. Hope you get in good sleep tonight.
You poor kid. I hate nights like that and I hate the following day more. I hate being like a zombie.
I keep waking up at 3:30 too. I'll look at the clock, pat the bed beside me to make sure hubby is there then wonder how long it will take me to fall back asleep. Too many nights it takes a long time.
Here's hoping you fall fast asleep, and stay that way until right before the alarm goes off because it's better to beat it then be woken by it :o)
I can relate on not sleeping - most nights my fibro keeps me up. Sorry that it happened to you!
Sweet Dreams!
