Just watching a prog about the crusades as well as checking minis atm

I've sort of given up trying to force myself to sleep it was counterproductive. I find sometimes if I try to con myself into believing I want to stay awake that is when I manage to fall asleep. Might be worth a go for you.

I tend to get a couple of hours between 6 and 8 or 9 am and feel dozy for a bit around 7 at night but never actually go to bed to get proper sleep then. Think I sometimes dose in the chair but never deeply asleep. Used to be the same when I worked too, so was a bit of a wreck. Sometimes when I'm absolutely dropping I take original benylin and I don;t know it it's all in head or not but I seem to sleep then,

You don't get much sleep, must of been awful trying to do a full days work on such little sleep , I agree with the benylin, I remember years ago my dad had a really bad chest infection and wasn't sleeping and the dr suggested he take benylin at night mixed with boiling water , it knocks you out, I've taken it in the past also ,I tend to get a couple of hours between 6 and 8 or 9 am and feel dozy for a bit around 7 at night but never actually go to bed to get proper sleep then.

Glad to hear I'm not the only Benylin addict, I once managed to get truly addicted to it though by taking it every night for a couple of weeks ( for a bad cough) so much so that when I went cold turkey I got absolutely no sleep for about a week, so now I'm careful about how long I take it for at any one time. Maybe you should try some tonight to knock you out or are you just going to go with the flow?

OMG really, but I could see how it can happen when it works so quick all you care about is getting some sleep,
I haven't got any here
But I'm unsure how it would mix with what I'm already taking ,

We all need a wee break now and then so I'm sure you'll be fine for a day off. How's the knee coming on? Hope it won't impede your day out. Here;s hoping you get some decent weather too. It has chucked it down for two days here.

Still doesn't sound like fun I have to say. Hope you'll manage to cope with work if it's still sore. Will be odd going back after 6 months of being a lady of leisure, but I'm sure you'll be fine once you get used to it again. And you'll have the fun of the new place to get used to as well. Just console yourself with the though of the extra money you'll have at your disposal/
