...........the end of the alphabet, and wishing I hadn't started it as it was nowhere as interesting as my efforts last year!
Zzzzzzzzz could be for sleeping. Something I only ever do at night, have to be really poorly to sleep during the day. Luckily I don't usually have problems sleeping, sometimes it takes me an age to fall asleep and other times I'm gone without thinking.
Usually I wake up once or twice but only for the loo and usually get back to sleep straight away. I've never understood getting up in the night to do something if unable to sleep although it must be OK for some people but it would be too cold for me and would wake me up even more. Some nights I have really weird dreams, especially if I fall asleep laying on my left side - and if anyone could explain that - I'd love to know why.
Thank you to everyone for A - Z comments through the month. Remind me not to do it again next November!
Back in December - which happens to be tomorrow.
Sue
I haven't ever slept in the day time. Night time is sleep time. I made a honey and lemon drink last night and slept all night in spite of my cold.

DeleteI only sleep daytime when really poorly like flu or pneumonia!
Cold 'cures' are my post in a day or so
I actually found the A-Z things quite a pleasant read with my morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteNot easy to do the 26 letters even the first time around. I take my hat off to you!
ReplyDeleteOh H for Hats would have been good!
DeleteMake a note for next year please. I’ve enjoyed your A-Z posts this year.
DeleteI have some pretty weird dreams but I've never considered which side I'd been sleeping on - now I shall have to take note.
ReplyDeleteWaking up from really strange dreams I always find I'm laying on my left - coincidence or something odd?
DeleteI woke up with backache, and turned on to my right side, and then woke from a very strange dream. Now you've got me wondering...
ReplyDeleteYou never know
DeleteI have enjoyed your wander through the alphabet, thank you. I often wake in the night, and sometimes find it difficult to go back to sleep, but tell myself that lying there relaxed is as good as being asleep, and I do go off eventually. Because of my medical problems, I force myself to keep going during the day. I need about 10 hours sleep a night, so I'm off early at night!! I know when it's time as I start jaw-breaking yawns, and simply must give in and turn in.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were small and couldn't sleep Mum always said resting is good for you too
DeleteYes! My mom said that too, so like you I don't get up and do things if I wake up during the night. Sometimes I read til I fall back to sleep.
DeleteI used to only sleep at night, but now my medication makes me just drop off any time anywhere. The other day I woke up completely saturated having gone to sleep with a mug of hot tea in my hand. I never would have thought a mug of tea could do so much damage!
ReplyDeleteIt's annoying that so many meds make people sleepy, it was the same for Colin and cancer medication.
DeleteOh my goodness hope you weren't burned by the tea.
It's speak outloud 'White Rabbit ' time first thing on the 1st of the month - even if the time is 00:01 Lesley
ReplyDeleteGrey hares tonight . . .
DeleteHadn't heard of Grey Hares but White Rabbits I always forget to say
DeleteIt's still November?
DeleteI really enjoyed your romp through the alphabet - something for everyone, I thought.
ReplyDeleteOh good, glad you enjoyed it
DeleteDecember 1st is the first official day of summer for us, not that here in Melbourne will be warm and summery. We’ve had storms over the past couple of days, gales rain cold temps - more like early winter than late spring
ReplyDeleteI’ve enjoyed your A-Z of life this past month but as you said, twice is enough.
That doesn't sound much like the beginning of summer. Hope it changes for you soon
DeleteI've enjoyed your A-Z. Oh, I have some really weird dreams, I shall try and notice now if they're when I'm sleeping on my left side, haha.
ReplyDeleteIt's a weird thing but happens often
DeleteWell done, Sue. I have enjoyed your November alphabet again this year. Catriona
ReplyDeleteGlad you have enjoyed it
DeleteI've really enjoyed it too, thanks for taking the time and effort. xx
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome
DeleteWell done for completing the challenge:-)
ReplyDeleteNever again!
DeleteAll I can say is thank goodness it’s the 1st December tomorrow. I am always happy to see the end of November and your alphabet posting certainly helped!
ReplyDeleteSarah in Sussex
Glad to be of service
DeleteYou're lucky that you don't need a daytime nap. With the MS fatigue and medication for other conditions I can drop asleep at any time, in fact I drop asleep in the middle of a row when knitting, could only be for a few seconds but long enough to drop a stitch or two. Going back to your X for Xmas post and your reply to my comment, not liking Happy Christmas isn't any sadder than Xmas.
ReplyDeleteMy Gran didn't like 'Merry Christmas' for years after her youngest son died aged 4
DeleteAgree with Sarah above that it's good to see the back of November!
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated to read about the left sided sleeping triggering strange dreams.

November wasn't too bad here, could have done without the boiler glitch - the bill will come next month!
DeleteI rarely dream and sleep very soundly. It is the occasional coyotes hunting sometimes near the house that wakes me up usually at 3 AM or dawn. I go right back to sleep once everything is quiet.
ReplyDeleteI get disturbed by neighbour starting up his van and going out of our shared driveway anytime between 2 and 4 am, but am used to it now.
DeleteI dream quite often but can rarely remeber them. But I can guarantee I 'd be lying on my left side because after reading my Kindle initially (lying on my right side) I then close the Kindle, turn on to my left side, pull the pillow down a bit and go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteLast night's dream involved a former partner knocking on my front door and announcing he was back! Aaarrggghhh! My Mum then gave him short shrift and told him exactly where to go. Which was very strange because my Mum passed away long before I met him!!! Weird indeed.
Very weird dream - time slip maybe!?
DeleteWhenever I wake up from a weird dream I'm on my left - even if I didn't start the night like that. Odd
I enjoyed the A-Z Novemebr posts, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them
DeleteYou did a good job of finding something for each letter.
ReplyDeleteI have Covid this week but am feeling better already. I had the booster not too long ago and my doctor has prescribed some meds to take. May do some daytime sleeping, tho!
You have a good reason for having a nap - a good way to get better.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed this A-Z
I enjoyed the A-Z posts of last November & this November. Brava!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteAnother brava from me. It’s not interesting to find something interesting to say about each letter of the alphabet. Certainly not easy to do it twice!
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Thank you for visiting the bike shed again after my hiatus. I used to do a post a day in November - it can be quite exhausting in some ways - so finishing on zzzz is perhaps appropriate.
ReplyDeleteha ha! I loved your alphabet. Made for some fun posts.
