I've woken up and cant sleep so just made a cuppa. Anyone else awake? It's so lonely being awake when everyone in the house is asleep

Me 🙋🏻‍♀️ Dd woke up at 1 with a hacking cough, so settled her back down and now wide awake. So much to do later today as well, so it’s going to be a struggle to get to bedtime!

CrazyDuchess · 15/12/2018 03:39

Yup - watching drop dead diva and cuddling my cat

Thepearofwisdom · 15/12/2018 03:40

Me! Woke up with gall bladder pain, waiting for pain meds to kick in.

LashesZ · 15/12/2018 03:40

Morning 👋🏻 DD woke at 1:30 for a feed. I'm afraid that my body clock has adjusted to these early morning feeds this past week Sad

I've just woke up after a horrible dream 😫 now I'm wide awake xx

Bloodybridget · 15/12/2018 03:42

Oh yes. If I looked back at my posting history on MN, most of it would be between 11pm - 5am!

Morning all, I'm going to try to get some more sleep in a bit but there's something about a cuppa in bed that helps I find. Sorry to those in pain, I hope the medicine kicks in soon

Ds needed settling, now he is snoring and I'm wide awake

fucksakefuck · 15/12/2018 03:44

Me. Debating going downstairs and putting tv on.

Middlrm · 15/12/2018 03:44

Yep my turn to look after night owl son in 29 mins ( he does not sleep a jot at night ) so coming too.

The pearl of wisdom:- hope you have some decent stuff suffered from gallstones myself agonising! Annoying when doctors say take paracetamol 🙄 sure for that kind of pain why not ( I am no wombs fave birth with no pain relief ) but fall stone pain lasts Days! Cider vinegar used to be one of the few things that would help on occasion ( cause paracetamol don’t touch it ) x

Oddsocksandmeatballs · 15/12/2018 03:46

I am. We live on a quiet B road but at 2am a vehicle drove past with what must've been a flat tyre, the noise woke me up (bedroom window is always open at night and is single glazed). Can't get back to sleep because DP is snoring like a steam train now so have given up, come downstairs and am watching crap TV and surfing the 'net by the lights of the Christmas tree.

SleighBellsRing · 15/12/2018 03:52

Another one up, so tired but can't sleep. Going to try and read my book for a bit. Fancy a cup of tea but at my parents house and the dog will bark if I get up.

Bobbiepin · 15/12/2018 03:55

Dr has been crying for ages, finally got her settled and I'm wide awake. A cup of tea sounds like a fab idea.

kinseymilhone · 15/12/2018 03:59

Just been downstairs and let the dog out for a wee, put the dishwasher on while I was down there and now I'm wide awake. Now back up in bed with no chance of sleep and wishing I'd brought a cup of tea up!

Heyjudas · 15/12/2018 04:01

Me. Have a shit load of phonecalls to make, the whole flat to clean and organise and a load of errands to run. Also want to actually go for a run. Will any of this happen tomorrow? Nope. It's fucking soul destroying when you can't get a few decent hours sleep.

Moononthehill28 · 15/12/2018 04:03

Yup. Just made myself a cup of tea in bed. Woke up coz I left my electrc blanket on!! That was nearly 2 hours ago. I’m already completely exhausted. This will finish me off.

ChristmasAccountant · 15/12/2018 04:03

Awake here. 8 months pregnant, heartburn and can’t get comfortable. DS2 just woke up but dh gone in to settle him. Contemplating going to get a hot chocolate.

Heyjudas · 15/12/2018 04:03

It's times like this I wish I had a personal trainer, hairstylist, life coach, makeup artist, wardrobe artist and Personal assistant. And no money worries.

DukeOfEarlGrey · 15/12/2018 04:03

Yes! Woke for no reason. Had tea but still can’t sleep - would love to get up and start doing stuff but don’t want to make noise.

Heartofglass21 · 15/12/2018 04:04

I'm awake - on my break at work - eating a mince pie and idly watching some weird film on BBC 2. Roll on 7.30 so I can go home!

flyingdragonzog · 15/12/2018 04:05

Yes I have insomnia

Ostagazuzulum · 15/12/2018 04:07

Me, I had surgery yesterday (removed ovaries and Fallopian tubes) and the pain from gas is unbearable and stopping me sleeping so I'm wandering round downstairs, drinking peppermint tea trying not to wake anyone.

FFSOMG · 15/12/2018 04:10

I’ve been in psychiatric hospital for nearly two months, the doctor changed my medication on Wednesday and now I can’t sleep. Only three hours until the morning staff start...

feelingprettyalonetoday · 15/12/2018 04:11

Morning! I'm awake! I'm a nicu nurse on a night shift.

I love the early hours of the morning Smile

wibbleybibbley · 15/12/2018 04:12

Woke up a good half hour or more ago feeling like I was being strangled and not feeling much better - not helped by Dr Google and nhs online suggesting a heart attack. Suspect just had a crappy dream although half tempted to sneak downstairs and ring 111.
