Grrr

Well, so much for me and my plans. It's nearly five, I'm still not asleep and that means tomorrow is likely to be a bust. If I'm awake after 4 am, my brain simply doesn't work properly the next day.
It would help if a) the cats would leave some room for the marquis so that b) his knees cease migrating into my side of the bed and c) if he could see fit to stop snoring.
And I'm out of nytol. So I guess this goes down as yet another white night. Bah.

Sympathies--sleepless nights are wretched.

Dr Monkey prescribes being gentle on yourself and not trying to do much brain work today. Cuddle cats instead! But if you can summon the energy for a trip to the gym, those are really good for sleep patterns too.

Things that (sometimes) work for me are:
herb tea with valerian in it
hot baths
for snoring and cats I find there's a kind of slow shove that can make them change position without quite waking up (apes) or becoming too indignant (felines) and this is sometimes enough to fix the problem.

If you want a free sample of girl-size pink ear plugs, I have a large packet here that I ordered to stock up against neighbour noise and I'm not using them much since this year's neighbours are beautifully quiet. Or google snorestore and select your own. They are really good and usually arrive the next day.

Thank you: I may take you up on the earplugs.

Boots wax earplugs. The Gentleman Caller snores, and I find they don't cut the noise out completely, but mute it enough that I can ignore it. They were also very useful when stuck in hospital in an open ward. And convention hotels ... in fact, I never travel without them.

And worse, I use them in the open plan office when the noise gets to me.

If I ever lose my hearing, I wonder if I'll actually notice?!
