Me. Where do you work - I'm lying wide awake in bed

Morning, I just woke up, not been sleeping much past 5 this last week.

Been up half an hour, insomniac anyway so had been awake ages and then dog started scratching to be let out for a wee. No chance of any more sleep so enjoying the quiet watching the dog sleep Hmm

I live in a different time zone. Getting ready for bed

DH left heating up full after we took DDs a chilly walk round to see lights and for a hot chocolate. I can’t sleep if I’m too hot and the heat has woken me up. The baby will be up soon for a feed and I can already hear DH in shower. Not ready to start the day yet. Are you working over Christmas?

In a bit of discomfort, trying to decide if this is the beginning of labour

Elephantina · 21/12/2018 05:20

Our MD resigned unexpectedly yesterday, and I've been summonsed for a 1 to 1 with the CEO of the group that owns our firm. No idea if I'll still have a job, and have to wait until the new year to find out.

Been awake since 3.30am.

frankie001 · 21/12/2018 05:23

Slept all day yesterday as have a vomiting big. Couldn’t sleep last night. Considering shower and tea.

I work in a hospital for mental health. The end is in sight..just another 90 minutes to go (and then home to do the school run 😴). Not on over Christmas but back on for the New Year.

For those who are having a tough time, I hope the new day brings you a glimmer of happiness.

For the ones hoping today is the day for babies to appear, good luck and get the snacks out!

4 year old woke me up at 3am with some made up ailment. By the time I got him back to sleep I was wide awake. It's not the first time, he's done it every night for the last few weeks and I am so fed up of it.

I've struggled with insomnia for years. I can get to sleep ok usually but if I'm woken up then that's that.

And I just need a little rant about Christmas too.... I am so fed up of buying, wrapping, thinking of presents, posting, school concerts, dressing up outfits, last minute requests from school to bring things in, sign forms, collections for teachers, planning meals, SIL doing elaborate Christmas boxes for my kids plus donating me elf on bloody shelf when I have told her that I don't want to introduce these new things. The whole build up which seems to last for months (because of the school and SIL mainly) is really spoiling the whole thing.

Sorry if that was off topic, but I am really bloody tired! Oh and I also have a chest infection which hasn't shifted for a month- probably because I never get any sleep.

If I'm on an early this is my usual wake up time, so I'd recommend getting a hot shower and a cuppa now- I tend to have a nap when I get home as I need it by then. I don't think there's much point lying in bed but that's just me!

moolady1977 · 21/12/2018 05:37

Woke at 3:30 this seems to be happening a lot just lately awake at 3:30 and by the time my alarm goes off for work I'm wanting to go back to sleep, I'm struggling on 4 hours a night if I'm lucky

SoyDora · 21/12/2018 05:38

Yes I’m up, I think (hope) I’m in early labour.

SheldonandPenny · 21/12/2018 05:41

Blooming cough that re-started when DH got up for a wee. Gonna be soooooo tired
