What are you all up to

Yes, those gadgets are interesting. Makes you realise that sleep duration and quality of sleep are two entirely different things. I’m usually in bed around midnight and up after 9am. That’s my natural rhythm. By the time I’ve had several cups of tea, eaten breakfast and faffed about I often find toilet blocks closed for cleaning on CMC sites! 

Expensive needing to put the heating on early 🥴

I don't need a Fitbit to tell me I have had a rotten nights sleep I sometimes feel better after a poor nights sleep than when I have had a good nights sleep, all a bit odd!

Not odd really, just illustrates the points made previously - it’s about how much time you spend in the various phases of sleep (which can be measured), each playing a vital role in maintaining your physical and mental health. If that pattern is disturbed, the restorative benefits of sleep can be diminished.

Well I woke up at about 2.50 this morning and finally got back to sleep nearly 2 hours later but still managed 7 hours sleep in total. It's awkward as my wife's sleep pattern and mine are out of sync. I tend to fall asleep earlier and wake earlier. Mrs WN is usually an hour or so later in both instances. I have often woke up alone as she has disappeared to the spare bed. Bit difficult in the caravan though!😂

We eventually got back into normality by food shopping this morning. The day is a bit brassic out there. Still chasing and waiting for a reply from the hotel in France. Have just sent another stronger letter threatening legal action so hope that shifts someone.

Has anyone heard how Pliers mothers doing? I haven't kept up with all the news whilst away in France.

Strange. I also woke around 3am and couldn't get off again. Did have a bit over an hour this afternoon to make up though. There has been a bit in the press of recent times about the nation's sleep patterns.  

Yes! The morning closures are not helpful to us either. Main reason we opted to use our own.

I was a tad sceptical about the quality of sleep information given by my little Fitbit, but have to say it’s impressed me. I do find that being physically active helps me immensely as well. 

Coo, that’s not good really. I am always in 80-90’s. We often get out of sync at Xmas time, with film watching and in normal times a bit of partying, but I aim to try and go to bed at a fairly regular time, and get up within a half hour window, certainly after at least 8hours. OH stays up late at weekends watching MOTD, then is grumpy if he has to get up early on Monday.🤣 The dog is no help, he has an elastic bladder, never in a rush to be up early.

I won't go into my sleep patterns as they are so erratic. Often have to have 3 lol breaks during the night but last night only up twice and the second time was to switch the heater on in the van at 7:00. Just be the best night's sleep I've had in ages.

Shopping for us today, Aldi in Harrogate, before onto Ripley and a good circular walk from over 2.5 hrs. The sun has disappeared but it wasn't too cold and no wind so can't complain.

Apparently, according to OH, I can "sleep for Norway AND  Scotland", sleeping is never a problem for me, but OH is a different matter, or so she tells me, as I , of  course, am asleep.

She has always had problems sleeping, her brain is just too busy trying to solve problems.  These days she is better at just lying resting rather than tossing and turning, but she is still doing a lot of thinking, and occasionally will get up for an hour, then come back to bed and end up sleeping late.

Now we have Alexa in several rooms, we have her playing the radio for about half an hour when we go to  bed, and she is our alarm, though these days we often switch it off and have another hour  in bed.
