Help required. Really tired and can't sleep!

[Ladyhayles]

So I've booked today and Monday off work to have a nice relaxing weekend with the OH. But I've now been awake since 5am, I'm knackered and I can't get back to sleep.

I wouldn't mind but I don't even get up at this time when I'm working! Plus now the OH is snoring and my patience is wearing thin.

Any suggestions to help me sleep? Reading PH isn't helping so far.

[GTIR]

Go for a brisk walk.
Paint the bedroom.
Breakdance in the kitchen
bodypop in the garden
Punch your oh and claim you must have been dreaming.

Read a book.

listen to some music at a low level and lay on the sofa., make sure all of the curtains are closed and that its dark. That usualy works for me.

I agree with the sofa thing!

i normally wake up stupidly early, sundays, its sofa with a big duvet, match of the day on sky+ on match in I am sound asleep again!

Switch the F1 on!

Edit to clarify: I'm not saying this will send you sleep.

Get up. Have a cup of tea and a bit of toast. Then go back to bed. Says he who was up at 4-30....

Although it's probably a bit late now.

wk/ down a few shots of vodka.

Just stay up, the hell with it.

On a serious note - hot coco. That helps!
Or an ipod, mp3 player at best. Sleep with one ear bud in.
Thats how I get to sleep.

you might want to "mop up" before you doze off though
