      Sorry to hear it, Sadje. Not a fun place to be.
      I’ve been getting into a bad habit of taking a long nap (siesta) in the hottest part of the day. It is starting to affect my sleep pattern. Thankfully it’s getting cooler so that shouldn’t be a problem.

        I have started to do the same, no sleep after getting up in the morning till going to bed at night and avoid coffee in the evening. It helps but if I’m careless then I am awake till I take something to make me sleep.

      I was sleepy but not that content. More hopeful as I staggered off to bed to try again.
