Mum slept poorly last night. In bed by 9pm. She read until 10.30pm then went to sleep and was awake by 1am. She listened to a rambling Russell Brand podcast, some music and must have nodded off at 4am. The alarm went at 5.44am. So tonight she is nodding off on the couch at 7pm. She is hoping that tonight she can have a good nights sleep like mine.
Mum knows that the combination so sore shoulder, adjusting after night shift and being middle aged are the things keeping her from sleeping. Tonight after the dishes are done she is going to have a small nightcap and see if that helps her sleep better.

And working those funny hours does'nt help either..
ReplyDeleteWell..there not funny are they..should say shift
working hours..!
And..A small nightcap will help, hope it's in a
glass, and fairly strong..! And, l don't mean
tea or coffee..! HeHe! Bless! :).
No, none of those things helps with sleep. I don't know if you would have the same brand names, but Tylenol makes nighttime pain relief -- just acetaminophin plus a muscle relaxant, meant to help with body pain that interferes with sleep. There's no sleep aid in it (unlike Advil's ibuprofen nighttime tablets, which I have not tried). I take the Tylenol once in a while when my back and hip pain keep me awake, it just takes the edge off the pain and lets me settle a bit easier. I know this stuff isn't good for one's liver, I take only 1 tablet, not the 2 that is the adult dose.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Poppy, you definitely know how to snag the best spot, all warm and cosy! And certainly you have no problem with sleep! :-)
Precious is sending purrs to your mum, Poppy. Hoping she gets some rest and

ReplyDeleteA melatonin supplement works good too :)
ReplyDeletePurrs to your mum that she gets a good sleep.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the worst things for a body must be a lack of sleep. I hope your mum gets some more each day.
