Who's awake and why?

[BuntyII]

3.30 am and I am watching Ben and Holly with DS. He has inexplicably decided that after some months of sleeping 7-7 he would like to get up in the middle of the night

So what are you all doing up

Up with DS still trying to work through his constipation 😩 meanwhile the dog seemed to think I was willing him on to poo and has covered my lounge for the first time since he was a puppy. It’s a long shitty night over here (literally)

Oh dear re the dog. I feel a bit gutted for you! And lucky not to have anything bad that woke me up.

I am a life long insomniac. I will try to listen to some podcasts & hope to sleep again soon after 5. Am very lucky I can sleep in "tomorrow"

Got in from late shift about 90 mins ago and not sleepy yet. Unlike you ladies I have peace and a wine!

Woke up after a weird dream and trying to settle down again. Any podcasts you'd recommend ragged?

It's only 10.45 here, but I am a night-hawk. I rarely go to bed before 2.00 am, unfortunately.

Oh no constipation and dog poo is not a nice way to spend 3-4am 😩

Suddenly remembered upcoming school event for which I have not yet prepared. Then nervous rash began to itch as did bite on ankle. Then remembered had not destroyed letter from bank which had details on it. Then cat wanted fed. An hour later, all dealt with, bar school thing but have left post it note to remind me.
Back in bed starting to feel pleasantly tired again, need to be up in 2 hours though!

I'm awake! Just woke up with a start and composed a good long email to my kids school about a crappy meeting I had yesterday. I haven't sent it but will send in morning. I'm gonna read now, feeling a bit more peaceful since I got that letter off my chest

I like politics & a specific sport, Buttery, so probably my recommendations aren't worth much to you! There must be science ones & good fiction & comedy programmes, too. I have a macbook so iTunes.

I am working (young adults with autism). I usually don't have much to do once everyone's in bed but it has been a very difficult night, that has resulted in a broken pair of glasses, split dental retainer and a fat lip (all mine).
I have had better nights. I think I would rather take my chances with constipation and dog poo

I like politics!

Bad luck toad. Hope it's not too painful.

Dd woke me up at 2, she went straight back to sleep, I’m wide awake. I have to be up at 5:30 for work. It’s going to be a long day!

I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. I have had back problems and this was all niggling a bit. Was then awake long enough to be hungry so got up and made porridge and tea. Have just been watching Friday Night dinner on E4 which has cheered me up. I should go and get back into bed and try to get a bit more sleep.

Ah, well there's always repeats of the R4 World At One. Pienaar's politics and Marr on Sunday. Robert Peston does a great show but I don't know where to find it. The Guardian has a politics podcast.

I like financial journalism, too, see what Wake-up-to-Money 5Live, Financial times & The Economist have, too.

There were a load of decent Brexit podcasts going but nobody (R5Live, Guardian, etc.) have restarted the Leave ones & I can't stomach the Delingpole stuff for long.

Expand to American politics if you REALLY want soap opera. CNN or NPR for balanced coverage and MSNBC for "Oh my god this is insane and we're not afraid to say so". Colbert & The Daily Show for comedy. Mueller She Wrote for expletive-laden conspiracy, Velshi & Ruhle for financial journalism.

Sorry to hear that toad

*Not Leave ones, I meant to say restarted the Remain (oriented) ones

I'm up with dog poo too. Luckily she cried and I managed to make it to let her in the garden. I might just leave the back door open and try and get another hours sleep.

11 month old DS woke but fell straight back to sleep without me needing to see to him. However, now wide awake.

Have been on maternity leave but going back to work for a keeping in touch day tomorrow, therefore alarm set for 5.45. Probably awake because I’m a little nervous about going back and leaving DS for the first time for a whole day

Sorry to hear about you all being up too

I am, it's only just after 11 where I am. All my dogs are asleep though, as are the cats, and I'm kind of desultorily poking around on the Internet while my husband plays Destiny 2.

I woke for no reason and now can't sleep for DH breathing! He usually works away so it's strange to have him home. We go on holiday "tomorrow" but not until late so no worry about sleeping in.

omg, you want something to blow your mind, google Inn at Rodanthe.

Dd woke up because her arm needed scratching she is 3 and has a cast on due to a broken elbow.

I’m in the tiny single bed next to her in a static caravan as we are on holiday, home in the morning though.

in too much pain to sleep so here i am. Stupid body with its stupid incurable disease

I had chemo yesterday so I'm pumped full of steroids. Wiiiiiide awake!

Sorry to those having a rubbish night for whatever reason
