*note* this comment 'might' be deleted at 5pm to save embarrassment .
DOH! :(
 
Had a good nights sleep though think the two bad nights have caught up with me. Been shattered today, though still manage to dig a flower border in our front garden.🙂
 
Haven't been sleeping very well this last few nights, never do when other half is away, so am trying a cup of herbal tea. Pukka night time, tastes a bit odd, but fingers crossed it will work
 
I am interested to know how many hours sleep members managed to have last night. given our illnesses or conditions many of us seem to have disturbed sleep either by having to visit the toilet or woken by the effects of low blood sugars. Eight hours seems to be the given norm but how many of us achieved that last night? My 'normal' is six hours with maybe one interruption for toilet break due to medication. There are also the other usual reasons for sleep deprivation including anxiety, stress, worry and of course young children.
Last night I achieved my norm of six hours : what did you achieve?
I would add that since I converted to Tresiba, this flexibility of the insulin allows me to sleep as long as I am able without the worry of having to wake to take my basal at the same every morning like I used to.
 
Slept well last night. Must've been the gardening.🙂 Didn't wake up at all.🙂
 
Well I got off to sleep ok after my Pukka tea, but woke up about 2 am and was up for an hour or so. Will see what happens tonight
 
I had 7 hours completely unbroken. Was woken by the phone ringing. A call from Lizzie from Pickfords to do a video survey using Survey.bot. Took about 30 minutes. She is now collating everything together, including of course ferry costs, and it will of necessity be a two day job to get to the Peoples Republic of Lancashire. Probably be something like £2k.:confused:
 
I can fall asleep very well. I wake at least once or twice minimum for the loo in the night, but this can be more 5 -6 some nights.

I never go to bed and sleep more than 3 hours in a block. Normally wake at 3am as a standard.

I also have a snoring husband, a cat that wants to go out at 5am and a child that cannot sleep past 6.30am and is'nt quite ha!

November was the last time I had a full block 11pm - 8am! So it does happen.
 
hi all, just read this thread - have been avoiding it as I have a big problem with sleep. Not meaning to be mean - but it's nice to read of everyone struggling along with me! 😳 Wishing everyone a better night than mine tonight 🙂
 
5 hours 43 mins🙂
 
Sleep has eluded me again😡 Been awake all night. Not unusual for me tho. I'll crash about 8am-9am then sleep till the cows come home and waste a day! Arrrrggghhh:(
 
Dozed in chair then 7 straight hours- really good for me. Got a message on phone at 0637 about a lift to work. How many times I tell the young guy not to message so early. I am being rotten and letting him wait for the answer till coffee scoffed. Have a good day all
 
Not too bad, last night. Did wake a few times but think that was cat related as they pinned me down & I couldn't roll over!
 
I got 8 hours unbroken. That’s a clear conscience, and a prostate untroubled by senile hypertrophy.🙂
 
5h 17mins
