Anyone got any tips?
I've recently started doing permanent night's as it works best for us as a family childcare wise and financially.
My sleep is crap though. I'm night three tomorrow and in the last 48 hours I've had 6 hours sleep.
Cold, dark, earplugs, fan on, warm duvet, no energy drinks/caffeine after 0300, good breakfast, no booze, bed.
I'm avoiding; zopiclone, nytol, co codomol. All good but never work 100% and can be addictive in use or build up tolerance.
Go to bed at 0900, by 0915 I'm asleep. 1100 I'm peeing a random full bladder that wasn't there before. 1300 I'm naked in the kitchen rifling cupboards as my body says its lunchtime. I'm then trying to doze, mouths dry. Water. More unrine. Can't drop off. Alarms set for 1800, surf internet for a bit. Doze. Flip pillow. 1730 and I drop off for half hour. Repeat the next day.
Any tips? Slowly killing me.
