Does anyone else dread this time of night ?

Yes I do. I can’t sleep so end up scrolling on my phone, reading my lovely dad’s text messages to me and his photos. Night time is a horrible lonely time. Too much time to think.

Yes the hours of 2 til 6 is the worst. All the world is asleep 
seemingly!

I’d say lots of us are up.
Listen to talk radio (like LBC) or some audiobooks or watch some box sets even if you can’t really take in a thing. Anything so that you aren’t alone with your thoughts.

Thank you. This is a time that I wake up after a short doze 4.30. Like Groundhog Day

I think it’s worse if you have a little sleep. Then there’s no chance to drop off again.

It’s so difficult isn’t it? I haven’t been to sleep yet, fortunately not working tomorrow, I will be walking my dog early and then no doubt nap for a while, I listen to the radio ( another LBC fan) it helps sometimes, take care

I take an antihistamine at night which gives me some sleep but only on days when I’m up for work the next day. Other than that its the quiet time and the brain kicks in, the missing, the guilt, the dread of another day without my Dad and the worry for my Mum. Sometimes it seems never ending. Sending you peace and strength @Copenhagen1 @Jane62 @Anna_321 x

I do the same with my dad’s photos which is awful as I can’t stop sobbing when I see his beautiful face looking back at me. It’s too awful.

My heart is with you, it is a terrible task to do but pick the happy photos, the photos that make you smile, the ones that have the best memories attached to them. Thinking of you.

Yep, 5 months since I lost my mum and I cry myself to sleep every night, I go to bed at 10:30 ish and I’m up till 1 talking to her or just crying and reliving it all again. It’s torture, my own hell loop every night before bed then get up and fake life all day it’s exhausting.
