It's going to be a looooong day!

I feel bloody awful.

Any tips from you insomniacs out there - other than drowning myself in coffee?

My nan’s spare room.

Try to be on your feet as best you can, stay hydrated but avoid coffee; and try to go to bed at normal time tonight after winding down rather than going to bed early.

At least you don’t have to work with Negative Nancy today!

Haha thankfully not

I think that would have pushed me over the edge in this state!

I really feel for you all who can’t sleep. I see it a lot on here. I’m gone as soon as my head hits that pillow and I never wake up. If it wasn’t for the alarm I reckon I’d sleep 24 hours! Must be awful

No coffee, lots of water, eat well and walk around. You’ll sleep like a baby tonight if you do

Don’t drive, drink coffee during the day, get lots of fresh air, don’t overeat, keep busy

Loads of sleep apps that work, if you are overthinking during the night put some soft music on, hope you get better sleep tonight

Great idea. Go do a mini marathon run. You know you want to

I was given a technique to help clear your mind and drift off, it’s akin to counting sheep.

Firstly have no electronic media within an hour of going to bed.

Once in bed if struggling to switch off, try to think of two girls names starting with the letter a, such as Alison and Abigail, then try and go through the whole alphabet, it’s surprising how often you’ll be asleep before you get to Yvonne and Zara.

If you manage it, switch to boys names, animals, cars whatever.

York

Definitely avoid coffee, at least in the afternoon otherwise your body will still be wired from the caffeine tonight and you won't sleep again. You could always have decaf though and the placebo effect might help. Bananas are good for natural energy, try snacking on a couple of those through the day.

I might try a sleep app later - I'm over thinking at the moment x

Take regular sit down mini breaks, if the boss ain't around!, and at lunchtime, have a power nap, it really does help.

Leave off the coffee. X
