The other day I climbed into bed at about 2pm (super knackered / fatigued) fell asleep straightaway, woke up at 3.55pm. I was so confused, I thought I’d been asleep all night. Then wondered if I’d been asleep all day long as well as all night. It took me a good few minutes to figure out that I’d just been asleep a couple of hours. Then I fell asleep again and woke up at 5pm. I was a bit more compost mentis by then.
i haven’t been taking my cheese recently. should i be doing this with supervision of my gp! (still no question marks) the gin suggestion is perfectly suitable and absolutely possible.
Found your ‘plot’ in my chocolate drawer! It’s a bit crowded in there but I’m eating my way through it. Help yourself should you be worrying or wake suddenly not knowing where or when you are! Reassuringly the forum is always here. M x
Maybe give up reading weird books. Increase your cheese rations, change the time of day you eat your main meal (possibly a sensible suggestion), ensure you have gin and/or chocolate at hand for the middle of the night.
And consider taking drugs the minute you wake up in the middle of the night (another possibly sensible suggestion). I used to put one Baclofen, one Amitriptyline, and one Cloneazepam handily next to the bed so when I woke up for a middle of the night pee, I’d take drugs immediately and then be able to sleep again within about 20 minutes. Usually.
I’ve given this habit up now, although there are still nights when I have to resort to middle of the night drugs.
