So don't worry.  Your body has 'caught' up in front of the log burner.  Take a book/music/TV and remember: you have slept already.  you will not need as much tonight    ..........

Bananas often are still pale inside even if the skins are brown!

[Lynne888]

Oh I know! prefer my bananas very spotty on the outside!! Not sure they keep a week that's all! The odd thing about falling to sleep in the day is that I do not  get the RLS then and I do not struggle to go off so what happens once it goes dark to change this!! Spooky!!!

[Joyce]

I like them spotty too Lynne!  Though not sure I could go to bed on a banana.

[Bette]

I buy bananas more than once a week as I have at least one a day, sometimes 2 or 3 and OH eats them too. Neither of us likes them once they are "ripe" (skins going brown) so I buy them unripe and we eat them within a few days.

I buy  my bananas every two days or so as they do tend to go off quickly. Going to bed on a banana has a different connotation for me but that's just my mind 

[CLKD]

Going to bed on a banana will be squishy    add to that sugar and cream and the sheets will need washing 

Lynne88 - when I was very depressed and bothered by nightmares I slept a lot on the settee [for months].  I didn't dream nor did I have restless legs ..............

Tonight I will have my bubble bath, climb into a badly made bed  , read a bit, maybe watch TV then if possible doze.  I know what will keep me awake, we have to be up earlier than usual

I bought one of those magnesium oil sprays that are supposed to aid sleep and stop restless legs. I've been using it for a week or so and I'm disappointed to say that so far it's made no difference at all but it could be early days. Perhaps I've been going to sleep quicker but I'm waking up in the early hours and then I can't go back to sleep for an hour or two. I sleep better when it's cooler and when my husband is working away because he snores and breathes loudly and it disturbs me.

[Lynne888]

Hahaha... I wondered how long it would be before someone talked about *bananas*!! I've had two brown-ish bananas today..Lucky me eh and no pain involved!! 

[Lynne888]

Susan, you could be a good girl and eat your banana in 30 minutes, then another in the morning and then again tomorrow night!

I had three squirts of my sleep spray last night and zonked out for eight hours last night, it certaily works for me.

I sometimes have a couple of sesame bread sticks just before sleep too.

Was awake until 1.30 listening to the gentle rain, must have had an 1" since 9.30 p.m..  Woke with the alarm at 6.40 after busy, silly dreams 

[Taz2]

Alarm on a Sunday CLKD?   

Went to bed at around 2 which was disappointing as I wanted to stay up long enough to see that my son's plane had taken off from Atlanta at 2.45 but was too tired. I didn't hear his text arrive at 4 to say he was safely landed which is a first for me! Woke up at 6 and got up then as I hate laying in bed.

Susan.. PMSL!!! 

[Taz2]

We could have a sleep-off!! Susan - you got seven hours. I got four hours - anyone for five or six?

Talking of little sayings... when I was with my son yesterday at Heathrow we were going to the departures gate and just as I said "All these people going places" he said exactly the same at the same time. I found this amazing and then he said "Mum, that's what you ALWAYS say and that's what runs through my head at every airport I ever visit - your voice chimes in from somewhere!"
