I have this sense of hundreds of us all hunkering down for the night, praying for rest, and maybe even sleep. Goodnight all, here's hoping for bearable nights xx

Just thought I'd post some hopeful news
I actually slept for five hours straight last night!!! First time since I came home from hospital. Difficult to say why.....a number of factors probably. Like, the weather has gone cooler, my daughter was staying overnight (it was so good to see her), I had some cheese and crackers before bed.....Otherwise, just sheer good luck combined with total exhaustion!!
Anyway, thought you may like to hear a bit of good news. It may or may not happen again.....Right now I'm in a state of kind of shocked elation...![smile](https://patient.azureedge.net/forums/emoticons/smile.gif)
All the best everyone xx

Sadly I couldn't sleep again due to daughter getting up early to go out, so still feel exhausted, but the very idea that 5 hours sleep in one go is possible, has cheered me immensely![smile](https://patient.azureedge.net/forums/emoticons/smile.gif)
That said, my knee is much stiffer today. Think it set in one position overnight and it doesn't want to get going again......so I'll be rubbing and encouraging it and hoping for the best.
Good luck all x
