You answered Marie immediately when she said 'Pheebs, get back into bed'. You said 'I'm awake, I'm just going to the toilet'. She said 'are you sure?' and you went 'yeah, yeah I'm fine, I'm awake' and giggled like she was silly for questioning it and then you wandered off!

I might just tie her down & gag her.

Failing that, Ill be knocking on other people's doors!

Kinky!!!

Kitten - That just massively surprises me. I can't comprehend why I would say that?! Unless I did go to the toilet? Maybe I did?! Odd.

Am tired now, last night I had barely an hours sleep (cramps... lady gumph) and just got in from a 56th Birthday. Am hoping desperately I will zonk and no walkies.

*crosses fingers*

You would have passed the loo to go downstairs...so you must have done i think. I was thinking ... Is she really awake or is she just saying that? You sounded so lucid though, I believed you totally & went back to sleep!

Well... good and bad news!

Good News: I've not really slept walked that much lately (to my knowledge)!!

Bad News: That's because I haven't been sleeping hardly a wink.

Best nights sleep I've had this week was when I slept outside on a pillow made bed under the stars! Was mega! Other than that, I've been getting 2... maybe 3 hours sleep in general with perhaps a little less than an hour of dozing. It's catching me up a bit and I feel like a zombie sometimes during the day. I was so so tired last week I needed to go shopping but decided against it as was too scared of driving.

Have got me some nytol herbal tablets... which don't make me feel sleepy at all! Get this though - warning on side of the packet: "These tablets may make you feel sleepy". AHahahaha! Amazing!

I do, however, think they're stopping me from walking when I do go to sleep! I didn't have any last night, had a "full" night sleep (6hours... was heaven) but then when I went to get dressed discovered a custard tin in my knicker drawer, a tin of tomatoes in my sock draw and my paprika spice in my bra section.

Boo!

If it all continues will speak to pharmacist and see if there's anything stronger to take. Failing that, doc time! Boo hiss!

I've had problems sleeping for as long as I can remember but it's been getting worse for the last 6 months so I finally gave in and had a chat with my GP. He prescribed me some sleeping pills which is something I was really against but since then I've been sleeping much, much better.

The odd thing is that I haven't taken a single tablet - they're all still in the bottle.

Placebo effect: you know that you have something that will put you to sleep so takes away the pressure of helplessly lying awake knowing you CAN'T SLEEP. It's the same as when you're awake upset at 4am. If you've got someone you can ring for a chat, you rarely, if ever will do. It just helps to know you can

Burble · 25-04-2011, 11:04

Placebo effect, that's the phrase I was trying to think of last night!

Yes, agreed entirely.

In Ben Goldacre's Bad Science he talks a lot about the placebo effect and how studies have shown that just talking to GPs makes symptoms fade - simple reassurance from someone who at least appears to know what they're talking about works wonders.

Anxiety heightens everything and develops a feeling of loss of control which affects the ability to cope. Remove that, or at least dampen it somewhat and control comes back & ability to cope increases. Simple, really. Most things come down to control in the end.
