I fell asleep on the sofa at 6 and woke up at 9 pm. Pootled doing washing etc watched abit of tv and then went upto bed.

mmmmm well I’ve watched the last season of line of duty ready to start the new one.

im now downstairs.
just hung a load of washing out and sat listening to the birds cursing myself for nodding off earlier

anyone else want to share?

Also up feeding! She's 14 months old now but still breastfeeds at night. From 4am she's starts to be a little monkey, up every hour! But a quick feed usually gets her back to sleep quickly. In fact, she's asleep now so going to try to put her back down and get another hour.

Was sleeping for half 9 as I was shattered after a day out in the sun (Scottish so not used to it 😂) woke up with a blocked nose at 3:30 but felt fresh .. I seem to do better on 6 hours sleep, if I have 7/8/9 I feel so groggy! I will probably be so tired later though, especially with a 15 month old who has slept like a peach tonight!

Loving all the baby feeding (DS is 13 now so those days are long gone!) our dogs have started barking at 3:30am to go in the garden….. I’m not sure why this phase has started in their lives, but I can’t get back to sleep now as I’m waiting for my husbands alarm to go off at 5.

I woke up at 3.30am. I have a huge work event today, if it goes wrong it's my reputation on the line. I don't think it will, but I have ADD, and once the hamster in the wheel of my brain wakes and starts running, that's it.

I'm reading Mumsnet to try to distract the hamster enough that I can sleep another hour.

Edited

virtually shoves stick into the wheel to jam it to a stop 😂❤️

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?

Feeding my baby. I've just bragged on another thread about how she usually sleeps through but for some reason she's up for a feed just now. I think she maybe got a bit cold.

I’m habitually an insomniac but I’m now on steroids following a transplant and they’re aiding the process nicely.

It’s a frequent thing for me. I’m guessing it’s my age. I’m 58.

I'm up because I'm getting ready for work.
