Went to new peer group for peri/menopause last night. It was good, but had a bad pain night and only slept for a few minutes. And youngest needs my help this morning, so I’ve not gone to the other new group, which I was looking forward to, but nevermind.

Barely any sleep for me, cannot switch off.

I'm more concerned about kids thinking I'm cool and little old ladies thinking I'm kind and have good taste in musicals and canes, than worrying about what most of my peers have to say about me.
I think I've always been like this, but it's intensified as I've become more disabled.
This thought is brought to you by 4:32 am, anxiety about meeting a loved one's kids, and Painsomnia.

Looks like it's a painsomnia night for me. My RA is so angry tonight.

Nighttime is a nightmare for this writer, who suffers never-ending #chronicpain that makes #sleep difficult. His plight is not all that unusual, and he and other who deal with it have a name for the condition, even if it's not a formal medical term. If you suffer #painsomnia, you just might glean some useful advice from his experience, and at the least you'll have found someone to commiserate with. https://medium.com/wise-well/in-the-grips-of-painsomnia-23498b02541f ?sk=656ad9f06233148e4259d2c2350a22bb

Have lost track of the days cos of #painsomnia but here's a few things I've managed to do recently:
Weeding tool arrived, so I've hooked out unwanted plants in the raised bed & used solar power (heatwave) to destroy them.
Created a hedgehog and/or other wildlife watering hole by putting on the patio my least presentable ceramic pasta bowl.
First harvest: cut chives for potato salad - tasty.
Held off planting out my seedlings cos of said heatwave: they're hanging in there:
Me when I have to do more than two (2) tasks or activities that require conscious thought and/or movement.
On another note, I finally fucking showered today… It’s been… Too long. -Allēna

A sleeptime odyssey in three parts:
Me at midnight, the eepiest Lēna to ever live: hmmm. Time to wind down for sleep.
My sleepiness, as soon as everyone else is asleep: TIME FOR ME TO FLEE THE COUNTRY. ALSO, HAVE SCIATICA.
Me, finally, at 4 AM: asleep at last.

They say you shouldn’t nightblog, I say fuck the rules. You get painsomnia poetry.
Because with yours truly’s CPTSD, you get art on occasion. Treat yourself.

Pulled another good old fashioned #painsomnia all-nighter. The third or maybe fourth this week (I lost a day somewhere, can't get it through my head that it's Friday). Do I have another cup of coffee and keep guzzling coffee like it's my job all day in yet another (likely futile) attempt to reset my circadian rhythms? Do I switch to something soothing and just give up and sleep through another day whenever I finally pass out and just try again tomorrow? Decisions, decisions... #SpoonieLife
3am cereal and the daffodils have opened up to join me #3AMClub #insomnomnomnomia #spoonie #painsomnia
My sister had to be at work at 630 am for a function (hooray, hospitality industry) so my weekaversary with Gus the mini Aussie began with him very loudly crying in his crate long before dawn. Staggered downstairs to let him out and let him understand he's not alone and now he's just chilling on the floor with a nylabone. I wonder if I can go back to bed now since I had a crummy #painsomnia night. Yesterday he and Sadie both snuggled up with me when I napped. It was sweet.
3am lying in a hospital bed and can't sleep thanks to room mates beeping machines.
Tell me your most effective/ annoying sleep deterrent in your life??
3rd night in a row that my ouchie is bigger than my sleepy #painsomnia
Morning, Fedi. How are we doing? I had #painsomnia from about 3AM and gave up on sleep at 6AM. Not feeling incredibly special 😕
But on the upside I got my mobile data working again. Both my mobile providers were showing my account in arrears. I think this is going to turn out to be a billing system failure, but I made 2x payments and I'm back online.
Oh look! I'm having my magic beans* and it's only half past 11! This is going to be a fun** night!
*Ibuprofen and hot chocolate
**So very not fun
#painsomnia
Holy shit, just remembered tomorrow (already today for most of you) is #Bloomsday! But it's also our first Father's Day without my father, so I will be spending a lot of it with my mom and sister, and thus won't be able to do my usual straight-through listen to the audio edition of #Ulysses that I have (which was originally a book on tape, I think?). But I can enjoy a good chunk of it now because #painsomnia... Just like last year, though last year I actually listened to it all in one sitting.
I just want to sleep, dammit! #Painsomnia
