Sleep

I had quite a night. I went to bed reasonably early and couldn't settle down. I was almost asleep whjen I was woken up just after 11pm by a text message. I was just settling down again when I got another one. That was tha t. Wide awake. I was very upset at the time, but am not now. My friend is a full-time carer for her very ill, elderly parents. It was probably the first chance she had to text me.
I slept badly. I woke up an one point with the palm of one hand pressing down hard on the mattress, and the hand was numb. Then I heard a woman shouting her head off at someone in one of the flats. It took me a while to settle down.
I woke up several times during the night, on account of the strange dreams I kept having. I got up feeling shattered at half past seven, half an hour after my alarm had gone off.
