Just some advice on the Nytol, you can only take em for 7 days, and the stronger ones are the Herbal, and more expensive at nearly a fiver - got that advice from my mate whos a practice nurse. Take it about 9pm cos otherwise you feel drugged up if need to be up at 6-7am, they do work but don't stay on them the like I did for over a year then try to get off them........ nightmare
This is the problem... you've got to function somehow - you've got to turn up to work and do all the "normal" life stuff - bills don't pay themselves eh?!
If I'm still suffering problems once the op's well out of the way I'll consider taking pills... but I've avoided them so far... Just can't afford the inability to cope with driving/working the following day...
11pm-1am last night - go me! Then started dozing off again a few minutes before the first alarm at 6am... Deep joy! ;o)
A lot of it is down to genetics.Are you a night owl or a day time person? It's our own genetic make up that has a lot of empthasis on our sleep patterns. Basic rulse are if you do feel you need to catch up on sleep duiring the day set your alarm for no more than 15 minutes,believe or not it's more beneficial than having an hour.
& Nutkin, not matching cuffs then?
I don't usually have much trouble once I've actually got to sleep... but recently I'm only staying asleep for 2-4 hours, then I'm wide wide wide awake.
Having had to live in my car for a while some years back, these days, once I've actually got to sleep, I relish it - it's great not having to wake up with a start every time you hear the slightest noise, cos you think it's some ax-wielding homicidal maniac about to break into the car! lol
But every now and then something cocks it up... For 6 months after I was burgled I couldn't sleep upstairs for example... Not sure quite what I thought I could do if they came back and I caught them cos I was only catnapping on the floor downstairs but there ya go...
At the mo I think it's just nerves about having anaesthesia next week - I have an irrational fear of it... not yer actual operations, just yer anaesthetic...
Hoping that's the cause anyway... Cos I can't carry on like this for much longer!
I go for 20 minutes in the car at lunchtime if I can get out ;o)
0200 hrs: No 2 son goes to the loo. Panic - the bathroom hot tap won't shut off. Wakes dad. Dad shuts water off at mains, strips tap down and can't do owt. Leaves water shut off and drifts off to sleep wondering how we'll cope in morn ing with no water at all.
0630: violently awake with eureka moment. Go to garage to get extra tap washer. Wedge it into tap and screw non-functioning valve down tight. Turn water back on - yipee. Try to go back to sleep. Far chance.
0730 alarm. Chace kids to school. 0830 in the q at B&Q for £1.98 valve. Takes 5 mins to install. Try to get some kip. Ha bloody ha.
Should sleep OK tonight. But if thyere's a bathroom flood me laddo will have to mop it up himself. And so life goes on...

*sends a pack of Bah Humbugs post haste to Weymouth*
I make you right though! We're only halfway through November! Mind you... at least they're concentrating on "home" Xmases in most of the ads, instead of fancy parties... a slight nod to the old credit crunch, perhaps?
My rant tonight is that every time I reach for the mouse, the sodding cat bites me. It's NOT that kind of mouse FFS!
Once in a while... VERY occasionally... I think to myself "wouldn't it be nice to live with someone?"
Decided I really fancied a little nightcap tonight... Got a nice bottle of Thunder toffee vodka in the fridge. Given that I don't drink terribly often, it's been there since last Xmas... Can I get the ruddy lid off it? Can I heckaslike.
Sends a shocked smilie to WB for feeling the need to put a post up on this thread for a change!! *WEG*
Did you try jamming the lid in door/doorframe and twisting? has been known to work:o)
government!
Yet again I've been summoned to a 'back to work' interview, to explain what I'm doing to get a job. So we can't actually be sick even tho we have a legitimate sick note from our doctor?
What is more annoying is that when I ask for help, such as a refresher course for my qualifications, I'm told I either don't qualify, not been claiming long enough, or they don't provide what I require. All they keep offering me is a short course on how to fill in job application forms, how to create a C V and free newspapers and internet access in a classroom where the unwashed make an appearance too I have to sit next to folk who stink of B O and when I ask the staff to have a word they say it's not their job to let them know their deodorant isn't working!
