Although I sleep much better now that I exercise regularly, I do still have bouts of sleeplessness. I have put up with this for most of my adult life, so I don't let it stress me out and I know I can easily get by on three or four hours sleep.
If I'm lying awake I like to be able to read, but the man is a darkness freak so I can't turn the light on. I often get up and sit in the lounge reading for an hour or so, then go back to bed for some more sleep.
I used insomnia to my advantage when I was studying. Most of my papers were written in the small hours of the morning. In my single days I often used to do housework then too - but vacuuming at 2am soon stopped once I started living with someone!
Right, now that I've revealed what a freak I really am...
This morning at 4am I was stupid enough to go on the internet and pop into one of my favourite blogs - Waiter Rant. So going back to bed for more sleep never happened - just straight into the shower at 6.30 instead!
Mummy skite - my lovely boy (yes, folks, the babe from the fridge) made prefect at school this year.

Bwahaha...freak. I've been up for quite a while too now and find that I can't just lie in bed, I need to go and read or something also. Will check out the link! I hope you have a great day :-)
I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep at night - YAY for finding out others are the same !!!
Luckily for me Al can sleep through anything so I can stay in bed and read and then hopefully fall asleep before the alarm goes off.
Cheers for now and good luck for the triathlon !!!

My man would wake straight away if I turned the light on so quite often I sneak out of bed and find another spot for me and my book.
Have a wonderful day:)
I havs suffered from insomnia for years and it goes through phases. Quite bad at the moment so I can relate to the middle of the night computer/tv/book. Problem is that this is when I am sometimes weak and eat as well.............
Not long to the triathalon. You must be getting excited.
I am a bit of a sleepy head myself, so if I wake during the night I get really cranky!!!
You must be so proud of your prefect boy!
Good luck for the triathlon.
Jods.
Yay for being a prefect - what a great thing to have on your CV, but also - a great experience!
I sometimes have a lot of trouble sleeping too (when pregnant usually) - and I hate just laying there. If I have a good book I can sometimes go a few hours just reading - if Joseph is snoring, I know it's safe to turn on the light, lol.
Woohooo for your son (he he and his proud mum)
I know what you mean about not sleeping! I am just the same and hubby hates the light on too.
Sigh
Love CM
Have you tried Valerian? It is a natural sedative, or even some Chamomile?
As for being the happiest at the triathlon, I am so stoked for you, not even a year gone and you have lost 45.7kg, that is a mammoth effort and you impress me no end. So have a great time and enjoy every second of your accomplishment.
Okay, now I have to tell you off.
You went and gave me a link to a blog that I have just cried over!! This dude sure knows how to write. I have to tell you off as I know think I am addicted.
Congratulations to Jake. That is a great achievement. I was Captain of a primary school I went to and it really does help make you stand out when you are going for interviews for jobs. Well done to him.
And good luck for Sunday. Not sure if I will have a chance to blog before then and want to wish you great weather, and a successful triathlon. You are amazing and I can't wait to see how you got on. Have a wonderful time.
Will check out that link after I have finished the housework because by the sounds of it I won't get much done if I start reading LOL.
I think you are great Sue :D
Yay for Jake!!!
Best of luck on Sunday, will be thinking of you with pride - you will kick some major ass!!
All the best for Sunday Sue - what an incredible achievement for you, and I know you will do well. I hope that you are proud of what you've achieved - we all certainly are!!
I will be thinking of you - have a great time and enjoy it
xoxo
Good luck with the triathlon; a fantastic achievement.
I too, will be thinking of you on Sunday, best of luck Sue, I can't wait to hear all about it.
Well done to Jake!

Sue I wanted to wish you all the best of luck for Sunday.
I'm sure you'll do well considering all the training that you've put in.
Hope to see some photos of you crossing the line.
Hi Sue....Good luck tomorrow and have a great day...what an achievement. I am glad I checked on you before I went out for breakfast cos I just might rethink my choices with the motivation and inspiration you have given me. Will look forward to hearing all about it.lb
All the very best for Tri tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. Have a great day my cyber friend. Will check out blog on Tuesday when I get back to town to see how you have done.
good luck for tomorrow Sue - will be back on Monday anticipating your write up on the event.
Hi Sue. Wanted to pop in to wish you luck for the big race tomorrow. I can't believe that this is the same person who started this blog all those months ago. What a legend you are! Your gorgeous, clever prefect son and the rest of your family must be vry proud of you.
BTW, my husband always suggests the same cure for my insomnia. Of course, it always involves some horizontal folk dancing. Idiot. I'm sure your husband would approve of it too. Men are dumb.
