Essentially, Hester: I think you're on the right track with not lying there and getting anxious about not sleeping. Better to do what works for you :) hope that helps!kethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-5319496235184816472020-09-02T02:35:25.320-07:002020-09-02T02:35:25.320-07:00I don't get out of bed for two reasons, 1) it&...I don't get out of bed for two reasons, 1) it's too bloody cold and 2) the dogs would expect a walk!Hard up Hesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561421853249973134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-13139305669998413712020-09-02T01:37:23.518-07:002020-09-02T01:37:23.518-07:00I read somewhere that if you haven[t gone to sleep...I read somewhere that if you haven[t gone to sleep after half an hour you are better to get up and read or do something for an hour and then go back to bed.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-18687266339683165992020-09-02T00:23:44.187-07:002020-09-02T00:23:44.187-07:00My Mum (who's 84 now) has done this for years....My Mum (who's 84 now) has done this for years. She would wake up, go downstairs for a cup of hot milk, do some bible reading or praying, and go back to bed for a couple of hours. She did this already when I was still living at home, 28 years ago.Siebrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-17730909330248616182020-09-01T20:57:57.218-07:002020-09-01T20:57:57.218-07:00Big hugs!
