Why didn't you just get a sheep

You could have shagged it and counted it as well....

Mrs P would probably lose her sense of humour if I went that far.

you've certainly got a strong desire to get close to sheep stuff since you moved to Wales

As a point of order, you should have written “…since you moved back to Wales”.

I thought you were banned from buying stuff for 6 months ?

On a serous note I suffer from insomnia as well, I tend to get little sleep for weeks on end then crash for 12 hours

Two things I have found that help are only using just the 1 pillow that isnt a great thick thing and not messing about on the laptop or phone etc an hour before bed

Regular bedtimes and waking up times helps too but this is one I am useless at

This is an exceptional purchase with Mrs P’s blessing. I get between four and five hours a night, waking at least twice. I’m not so fortunate to get a a 12 hour crash; once every few months I might get 6 hours unbroken and that’s my lot.

I can’t sleep on one pillow and my bed times are as regular as a big regular thing. I could do with staying off the iPad in bed, though. Another manor problem is getting too hot in bed, even when the bedroom is freezing cold. I quite often wake up sweating like a whore in church with a soaking wet pillow and sheet. Mrs P did some research and it seems wool pillows and duvets could be a solution.

+1 for the wool duvet and pillow, which has worked wonders for my other half's menopausal hot flushes. Works well in both summer and winter.
Blue light from screens is a well known disruptor of sleep patterns. Ditch the iPad for a book at least an hour before lights out.

I don't usually suffer from insomnia, but
my new young neighbours think it's cute
keeping me awake tonight banging doors
and cupboards about at time of this post.
I'm up at 06.30 Hrs for work.
We mentioned how thin these feckin walls
are on their arrival. The honeymoon is over and they will be told today at some point to keep the feckin noise down.
I won't be so polite this time.

Horrible having noisy neighbours. We ended up moving once to get away from it. The pond life that lived next door are still there some thirty five years later, still got cars for scrapping in the front garden.

I have had that sort of (non) sleep pattern for about thirty years. To be honest I just go with it now. It was a big problem when I was working, horrible laying in bed wide awake when you know the alarm is going off in an hour. I often found somewhere quiet to have half an hour nap at work around lunchtime.

Bizarrely I seem to sleep better when I am away from home. No idea why.

I have wondered if I just don’t need the traditional ‘eight hours’ as I rarely nap during the day and don’t feel tired that often. Maggie got by on four hours a night…maybe it is as simple as some of us need a lot less sleep than others.

The only time I get a good sleep is if we are away in the van
I do not think its noise as on occasion we have ended up parked beside a fridge lorry and even that racket has not kept me awake

Good to hear a real world opinion (as opposed to website reviews) of the wool duvet and pillow. I'm hoping it does something to regulate my body temperature. I don't understand how are bedroom can be relatively cold yet I burn up under a 10 tog duvet when she has a blanket on top of her as well.

I really do need to ditch the iPad before bed.

I get seriously cheesed off with those that say 'we all need.....'. It's bollocks, we're all different.

One of my favourites is the often quoted (in the fitness/bodybuilding fraternity) we can only absorb 30 grams of protein at any one time. When I fire back something along the lines of two bodybuilders, one 5'2" at 60kg and the other 6'5" and 120kg, are you seriously telling me that they can both only absorb 30g of protein? Not once have I had a meaningful response. It's the same as saying something like six pints will get you drunk. Four would flatten me yet my ex (5'4", size 8) would drink eight 500ml cans of Strongbow or two cans and a bottle of wine every night and I never saw her drunk in two years, not once.

To be fair it is their 1st mortgage and I can remember our 1st one too. A sense
of freedom and adventure, feel free to do
what you want in your own home...blah.
I don't want to come across as a whinging
neighbour, but they seem decent enough
on our first meeting, even bought us a box of chocs. Last thing I need is hostility as
the last two sets of neighbours set off on
the wrong foot.
Moving house is not really an option.

Perhaps you could bang doors and cupboards about at 6.30am, when they are asleep.
When they come round to complain tear them a new arsehole explain that they are doing the same when you are asleep.

My eldest daughter has the neighbours from hell, he’s an ex con & spends too much time on the wacky stuff, she is an ex porn actress who now films herself doing work outs to very loud music & begs for gifts online

One of my MH forum members who lives in France also has a neighbour from hell. Fortunately the local police and mairie have a large file full of her unfounded whingeing. She was also a minor (porn-ish) actress and married a count in Paris and then got divorced and it’s sent her doolally. She used to bare her backside at people from her bedroom window - nope not really worth looking at now btw.
