I have chronic insomnia so I've had about 3 hours sleep last night.....

Same here. 🥺🥱 Commiserations!

DontTouchRoach · 30/06/2025 07:46

I’m in hospital. The lights come on several times a night for reasons unclear to everyone including the staff, it’s really noisy and my illness is causing night sweats, so I was awake at 1am, 2.30am, 3.45am and 4.30am and then had to have five vials of blood taken at 6am.

34 weeks pregnant, think the heat took it out of me yesterday. Ended up spending the night on the sofa tossing and turning. DC1 up now, DC2 due up any minute. I'm exhausted! Hope everyone manages a good sleep tonight.

I'm on holiday and haven't slept at all tonight yet. And it's now 6:28am, and I'm sitting outside having given up trying.

I'm not sure why. Haven't slept well at all since we've been on holiday, but this is the first night I haven't slept at all.

It's our last proper day, too, as we fly home early tomorrow morning.

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 30/06/2025 05:28

Awake too with my 9 week old sleeping on me, since 4am every time I try to transfer him back to the cot he wakes up so I've given up now!

pontivex · 30/06/2025 05:22

Becuase I’m in New Zealand and at work in a workshop on a very boring legal topic.

highlandponymummy · 30/06/2025 05:20

It's too hot to sleep

BeanQuisine · 30/06/2025 05:19

I'm awake because it's the middle of the afternoon here in Australia.

But ironically, I too am suffering from insomnia. 😆

Haveyoubrushedyourteeth · 30/06/2025 05:19

It sounds ridiculous, but I can't sleep for worrying about a thread I posted on last night. Sometimes you hope they're made up don't you.
One of our dogs is on steroids too (not the body building kind 😀) so the moment i hear her move from her bed I know she'll need letting out for a wee.
This thread is making me miss the night feeding baby days dreadfully too.

Well I’m still up and awake.

im now going through the lounge sideboard where all the post gets chucked whenever we have people over or because dh doesn’t really ever think I might want to see what turns up so I can sort and file it so subsequently I end up with a unit full of it

i have it all over the foot rest in the lounge and am sorting it into piles whilst wat hung Shirley valentine

bloody love the film and just stumbled across it on sky.

im peri menopausal which every now and then gives me a night of no sleep but it hasn’t happened for ages.

my teen is doing mocks this next two weeks and stressing about it which is keeping me awake I think

mynother two adult dc are going through big stages in their lives at the same time so I think I’m just thinking of all of that aswell

i also run my own business and work in it full time and that creates so much behind the scenes stuff and my to do list seems to be getting bigger by the day.

I'm in Vancouver, Canada. Lying here with a brutal stomach ache and nausea. Third time in about a month, or so.

MinnieMountain · 30/06/2025 05:12

Peri-menopause.

BoldGreenDreamer · 30/06/2025 05:09

Because its only just gone 9pm.

MrsMillyFluff · 30/06/2025 05:05

I've been awake since quarter to 4. Had a text conversation with DD in law as she was also awake. My sleep patterns are absolutely shit . I fall asleep ok, but wake up in the middle of the night frequently.

Keepingittogetherstepbystep · 30/06/2025 05:02

Got an infection in my back, I was late taking my antibiotics yesterday so my brain is refusing to let me sleep.

ByKindOpalPoet · 30/06/2025 05:01

Up earlier than normal in order to drive a mini bus of teenagers for their DofE award

BeenThereBackThen · 30/06/2025 05:00

Thank you! He’s a superstar and so snuggly and perfect. Just can’t believe my luck that I have him home 🥰

@loobyloo1979 awww, it is a special time isn’t it when they are tiny.
Emails after leave give me anxiety too, like somehow something really important has gone wrong or something, inevitably it’s just many irrelevant emails and nothing I can’t deal with. Sure your inbox will be the same!

ruethewhirl · 30/06/2025 04:59

Lifelong sleep disorder (as diagnosed by a sleep consultant). Usually manageable with various meds (not sleeping pills), but occasionally I just won’t get a wink of sleep for the entire night, and it appears that last night/this morning is going that way. Really great when my alarm goes off at 7.30 for work. 😬

PopThatBench · 30/06/2025 04:57

I’m 38 weeks pregnant, the size of a whale and my bedroom is as hot as a sauna.
I’ve been restless all night, didn’t even attempt sleep till 1am 😬

loobyloo1979 · 30/06/2025 04:55

Usual wake up time for me. Was off work last week as I was unwell, and am dreading looking at my emails today. Always gives me anxiety I don't know why???

Good luck @AzandmeI'm sure it will go well!!

@AnyoneWhoHasAHearthow your recovery is going well
@BeachPossumand @askmenothingI miss those night feeds. Mine are now in their 20's so maybe I'm remembering it with rose tinted glasses!

askmenothing · 30/06/2025 04:39

I’m feeding my baby too. He’s 12 weeks old but was born at 29weeks and we’ve only had him home a couple of weeks. I’m still in the really enjoying the novelty stage 🥰 sure it will wear off soon! Reading mumsnet with him asleep on my chest.

Hope the work event goes well @Azandme! what are you doing?

29 weeks! What a trooper ❤️ enjoy every minute of those precious snuggles

Fibromyalgia. I was dog and house-sitting for a friend during the week. I was then away at a funeral a couple of hours away on Thursday. Since I got home I’ve basically slept but not much at night. I got up at 10am after 5 hours of sleep, which is usual for me now tbh. I then slept from 12.30 to 5.30pm and of course I can’t sleep now. DH works nightshift so that doesn’t help.

SilviaSnuffleBum · 30/06/2025 04:51

Haven't slept all night.
I'm used to insomnia, but I could really do with a strong coffee and I don't have any in.
😭😭😭😅
