It’s 1am and I’m not tired. I should be but I’m not. No point going to bed yet.

Can’t be bothered to watch TV. More to life than some random movie or Pointless bathroom renovation show, although my bathroom could do with a lick of paint but not at 1am.

Reading. No. Can’t concentrate. End up having to read the same page several times.

Music. Too late for German Death Metal so it would have to be Cohen or Pink Floyd. Don’t fancy listening to such up tempo music tonight….

Jigsaw. Just No

Check on the school at home schedule. But the prospect of checking on school when it starts in less than 8 hours and sleep has not yet started is very depressing.

Eat. I’m on a diet.

Meditate. This is not the time for a juicy hip extension. Is there ever a time for that.

Do some Astronomy. Come on, this is Yorkshire. It’s chucking it down.

It’s clear what I need to do. Make a herbal tea and day dream. Day dream until hopefully they turn into real Night Dreams.

That’s a plan.

  4. Did you make a wish and blow on the dandelion? 😉 It’s a cool picture!

    Daydreaming with eyes closed is something I love to do. I hope you had some good ones! Drifting like a raft on a gentle stream, daydreams easing into deep restful sleep🤞💌💌💌

  7. A book you may be able to read , when you really can’t read or focus or remember ( I get it! ?) is by Tom Zuba.
    Permission to Mourn.
    Have a look, what’s to lose…

  12. When I used to have extended episodes of insomnia I used to get up and wander about. In a two room apartment, it got a bit boring but at least I couldn’t get lost. I could be guaranteed to fall asleep 30 mins before the alarm went off.

  14. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that this made me laugh so much. 🤣😂🤣😂 I’m sorry again. I’m still laughing. I understand your pain. I do.

    Hang in there. ❤

  16. I am right there with you. At night I shut the lights down. Have Alexa play me some 80’s rock ballads, and I just lay there and listen to it till I fall asleep. 😔Do whatever works for you.❤️
