To ask why you're awake?

Well I was awake from 05:39 my time (UK time +5.5hours) because it is the last day of my holiday. Cannot say I have done anything productive, other asked the hotel to do some laundry for me, had a spot of breakfast, lazed around on a sun lounger and am now having a late lunch (a Margarita has just been delivered) prior to doing a spot more lazing.
I am planning to have a good swim, a beauty treatment and then pack my case. Will be leaving for the airport around 21:15 for a 00:45 flight, so plenty of time to avail myself of the business lounge and have a mooch around the shops.
The Margarita is very tasty :-)

I’m awake worrying about my DB who has been unwell for a few weeks - he’s in remission from leukaemia and I’m scared it’s come back. Hugs to everyone who is anxious, poorly or grieving x

Oh, @BlessedBeTheFruitCake 💐

DD recently started having seizures, so I sit up staring at a video monitor all night to make sure she’s ok 😣

I have a job I hate so much it’s making me ill . I’ve been there so long and im scared of leaving and trying something new 😭 it’s affecting all areas of my life including my sleep

I have a 16 month old who hates me and has been up for an hour already.

DD needed her inhaler at 4am and hasn’t settled since 😴

DD 2y fell asleep at 6pm last night and is now awake 😅
We are watching Andy's dinosaur adventures. DH will get up at 7 and I can go back to bed!

I am disabled. Pain makes it difficult to sleep.
My body clock messed up on Monday. My sleep/awake times are the wrong way around.

Cats... apparently it's wee time and breakfast time🙄

DH woke me up snoring and thrashing and now I’m thinking about work and how my alarm will go off in an hour and can’t get back to sleep

Up with eldest who asked for a toastie about a hour ago, youngest got up and is watching paw patrol and to top it off there's something painful growing inside my ear and my face is slightly swollen.

Can’t stop thinking about Palestine and the suffering there.

Another one worrying - about health and convincing myself I have terrible diseases. This has made my heart race which is fuel to the fire 🙈 Had a horrible gut thing last week and it’s not improving as I’d hoped

Hope everyone gets at least a doze!

There's a Low Red Moon shining right into my eyes.
(Any fans of Belly? I got the lyrics going round my head as soon as I saw it.)

Norovirus. On to day 3 now. And i have had enough.

@ScentOfAMoomin my favourite reason for being up far too late!

I'm so sorry for all of with with pain and loss and anxiety. I think I'm mostly awake because of steroids despite them being taken alongside oramorph (oral morphine) but I am starting to feel more tired so I could be asleep soon. I've used the time to scroll on here, write in my nearly departed diary and I'm now going to read a little and then see how I sleep. I hope today is better for everyone. Where pain is awful upon awful, see if the GP can give you something strong. I understand it's hard to get any sort of appointment, even phone - I've been "lucky" because of cancer treatment they see you immediately which is both fair and unfair. If not, ibuprofen and codeine where the amount of codeine is just over 12mg, more than co-codamol over the counter where it's only 8mg. Take two as needed but also add a paracetamol (without codiene) as that does seem to help speed up the relief. Also hotwater bottles or hot patch things can really help. Anxiety is hard and I'm afraid I have no advice but send much empathy because it's another bastard of a thing. Take care one and all.

@DoAWheelie a year is no time at all and I'm so sorry for you loss. The one thing I will say, watching my friend who has now been widowed for four years is that it's not that it gets easier but after a year it's no longer "the first time since." it doesn't make it okay but you're through that first absence at their birthday/your birthday/Christmas all of those special times. And just allow yourself to feel all of it and if there's anything special you can think to do, no matter how small or random, do it and remember that all of this is normal and that we all have to get through it in the right normal way for us. Take care.

Getting ready for work. Will have to leave in 30 minutes.

I’m on holiday and was reading a really good book, which I finished just after 5am

I have a broken leg and seem to wake up every hour, 4am seems to be my wake up time every single morning and I just can’t get back to sleep

It's coming up to the 1 year anniversary of my late OH's death on friday. It's triggered off my anxiety again and I've been so wound up I can't sleep properly for days now.

Its going to be a beautiful day today for most

So hopefully everyone gets to feel abit of sunlight on their faces

I'm awake because I went to bed at 8.30pm. I was so tired and restless it was for the best!

my dog has got back into a terrible habit of early morning waking.
