Help I'm awake

I'm wide awake. I would rather be asleep. I can get up around 6;15 for work, full day in the office and then I'm in the phones for children in need until midnight ish. Any tips how I can keep going?

When you breathe in say 1 and out say 2 (in your head) and think of nothing else

Lots of water and fresh air. Any chance of a power nap at all?

I'm awake because one of my dc called out in his sleep and I'm a light sleeper. Mind racing so can't sleep, I'm going to try the breathing trick

Is this normal for you, the lack of sleep? Are you ok?

Oh, hope you’re asleep now :(

I've been awake since 3.20 😫

Woke up bursting for a pee and haven't managed to get back off mainly due to:
a) the council were meant to ring yesterday about me being able to view a property they offered me and my dd's ages ago (!) So I'm really hoping they ring today.
b) my lack of sex life being a single mum and how I'm so ready to go and get laid, but I've not done things like that since my early twenties, pre kids, and it's scary now!

Advice for today, eat well and stay hydrated!

a) good luck, hope the property is for you

b) scared!

I'm still awake, another couple of hours and that's roughly 24 hours awake. Please let me sleep!
