Was there a sleepless night you couldn't forget?

Wednesday is here! I hope you’ve had a marvellous sleep, members—unlike me who’s had to toss and turn all night as I slept over at a friend’s house. I’m guessing that my back and the airbed didn’t get along quite well. 😅 Have you ever had an unforgettable sleepless night? I hope it led to memories you can laugh about now. Feel free to share it here.

Folks to the secret to sleeping better on an airbed is to have a blanket under your bottom sheet, I used to go and help with littlies while daughter worked so I slept over some nights and worked this out ..........the air in the bed is cold air and each time you move you end up a bit chilled again, also I always took my own pillow and if anyone including kids are sleeping over at Nanna's house I always say to bring own pillow, we sleep better on our own pillows.
 
I once went away with a group of friends, my husband was unable to come with me this time, however when we got to the motel there was a room that had a water bed in it …. we drew straws to see who would have it and, yes, I drew the short straw … it was awful, felt like I was in a boat all night, hardly slept at all as trying to lie completely still so I didn’t make waves!!
 
Having a sleep study in the US. Having multiple wires attached and the techs talking just outside the door meant very little sleep. How they got any useful data I don't know. 🤣 Had another sleep study here in Melbourne and the door was closed so had a much more peaceful night.
