Never ever had this problem before. I just can't seem to switch off and lack of sleep is turning me into a grumpier bitch than usual. 

Things go round in my head and it is stupid o'clock in the morning before I finally nod off. I wake up and look/feel like shit. 

Is frigging myself off and a bottle of wine a night the only answer? Cos it doesn't seem to work.

How bad was it trying to sleep on Es back in the day? 😭😭

 

 

It was easier when Big E was carrying a bit more weight. The tee shirt incident in Skopje sent him on a dieting frenzy.

A bit like when you get tattoo's. Slightly uncomfortable when you start but then a rather pleasant warm glow develops which becomes a bit addictive.

Apparently encourages the release of endorphins and oxytocin (the latter more beneficial for female persons of the opposite sex) which is where the benefits kick in (I shouldn't have used those last four words. There'll be a stampede for them on Merseyside now).

Mine says 20 minute spells. I keep falling asleep on the fucker for an hour or so!

That’s exactly it. Your back warms up. It’s really fucking weird. Can’t get my head round it. It just works

After reading this the other day I bought one from Bezos for £18 juat to give it a whirl. Done it 3 nights running, no top on, and within 10 mins of being on it you want to go to sleep. Witchcraft.

It always amazes me that you always think you’ve hit rock bottom , then a trapdoor opens and sends you falling even further.

Just have a look through here I would say loads of them. All look pretty similar. Wish I had done this before shelling out 40odd quid tbf. 
mine arrives today so will have a bing fueled session on the nail mat tonight and see if I sleep before 4am as a result

I was about to say 'I am sure someone off here would give you one' but, being serious for a moment, I don't think you would regret buying one of these spiky mats with its associated pillow.

@little whitt This is the one I got:

Bloody love a day nap just me and the boy. Fine line between feeling refreshed and feeling like a bag of shit though. 

I've got to drive to fucking Brighton at 9pm tonight, and then turn round and come right back.

If I manage to let the anger go, I'll be sleeping like a baby come 12.30/1.00 when I get back home.......

I'm going to force my other half to take driving lessons by gunpoint soon. Or at least learn that petrol is a thing that costs money. 

My instrument of torture turned up today. Doesn’t look pleasant. Put the pillow thing on my neck gently and thought I’d Been stabbed. Shall report back once I’ve had a full bash on it before bed (the mat that is).

Wasn’t pleasant but half way through started to feel very relaxed and could have fallen asleep I think on it. 
 

not sure I slept any better over all. Mrs Esco however has been snoring all night and hasn’t stirred after her stint on it. Will give it another bash tonight
