Night Owls (for those awake late and can't sleep)

Dear All
The purpose of this thread is as a meeting point for those that can’t sleep and it is late (I.E. AFTER midnight.)

It can be a useful space for users to share their issues with insomnia as well as coping strategies. It can also be a general space for users to converse and support one another throughout a difficult night.

Please note – for those that are just bored or lonely we already have a place - the BB Café, which I recommend instead of here

Evening all, how are you? Hope you are well. Apologises for the fact I have been M.I.A as of late.

I baked some bread yesterday without a bread maker. What have you all been up to?

I wonder why I am tired all day but at bedtime when I need to sleep I am wide awake.

can anyone relate.?

That’s it , trying to stay safe and be out and about with so many medical appointments, but everyone has been wearing masks and I over do the sanitizer. Other than that I do prefer to stay home.
I got the sniffles and so much sneezing, but I know mine is sinus, happens this time every year when the pine trees are pollinating , everything gets covered in a yellow coating, so hard on the sinuses

Oh I relate big time. I've noticed that no matter how I felt during the whole day, around about 8pm I start feeling a bit nicer and a lot more awake. 8pm onwards I am a better person, lol.

I put it down to discovering as an adolescent that whilst everyone else is asleep the world is a much quieter and safer place.

Hi PF what type of breag, did it have seeds or grains in it.? Was it tasty.

DnG when I was a child I went to then do my driveway and with my neighbour , we looked across to the valley and thought those people sleep while we are awake. Those people were in next syburb!! That was my understanding of time zones!!

It was really great thank you Quirky.
It was like a sour dough. How are you going today?
