It’s 4am and I’ve been awake for two hours

[CormoranStrike]

And there’s no good reason for it.

Why are you awake?

I've been awake since 2. I have earache and a sore throat though so feel like death warmed up.

cos i finished work at 3am and im winding down. should be asleep though as back at work tomorrow at 3pm. then two night shifts to get through which means xmas is not happening here!

My DP is away for the weekend . I was really looking forward to having a snore free bed all to myself but hot flushes thanks to perimenopause are keeping me awake. Sods law!

Baby woke up for a bottle two hours ago and I'm still awake 😭
Have a sore throat so just can't sleep.

Head cold from hell.

36 weeks pregnant, feeling nauseous and horribly uncomfortable.

I have been awake 1.5 hours, heavy cold and the inside of my nose is all sore and peppery. Visitors arriving tomorrow for Xmas so no chance of a rest unfortunately.

DD wakes up very early and I have to put the TV on to keep her quiet to not wake the neighbours.

Baby is running a temperature and won't settle. He's now fast asleep post some atrocious lullaby singing and I'm still wide awake

Feel low. Have inner ear problems and hoping it goes as so horrible. Keep eating chocolate but now feel fat too.

The dog was wincing to go out for a wee 😔😊

Family issues on my mind. Not usually awake this early.

I've been stuck in this loop of being awake from 3:30am onwards. Anxieties over health, co sleeping DS13 months and a snoring partner 😔

38+5 weeks pregnant. Cannot sleep due to acid reflux and husband snoring! Baby wriggling away and I just want him out!

I'm exhausted and cannot settle down.

My elderly cat woke me wanting her 4am treats. This has become a habit and in 30 minutes she'll start meowing really loudly for food.

Husband is snoring next to me, room is too warm and stomach still uncomfortable from last nights food. Hopefully I'll doze off soon after I've read MN, BBC, Emails....

Woke up for no apparent reason, so I've cleaned my fridge and tidied my kitchen, tried to find something to watch on Netflix with no success, so now I'm on here hoping to feel tired soon.

Am usually awake between 3am-4.30am ish lately. Happens every December ad too much on my mind. My stomach us rumbling now but resisting urge to go and eat cereal...

Good luck to the heavily pregnant ladies

Can't sleep at the moment

Been waking up an hour after I go to bed. Managed 11.30-2.39 tonight then another hour or so. No idea why or what is going on. I'd like to get up tidy up but dh is sound next to me.

Im

Another baby here

We got a new cat yesterday, she's settling in beautifully but she's v,v,v affectionate.

She's currently kneading 6 y o DS who is asleep next to me ( co-sleeping as he has had a nightmare ) and purring VERY loudly.

I can't sleep as she is so sweet but very awake

I’ve been awake for hours. Have been unwell for a few days, bit of a chest infection, generally feeling poorly etc. Went to bed at 8pm on Friday and didn’t get up until lunchtime yesterday so am sure my body is saying ‘nah, you’ve been in bed too long already’.
I’ve visitors arriving this afternoon for Christmas and although DP has pretty much done EVERYTHING (bless) I feel out of control (and not happy with the duvet set DP put on the spare bed and am wanting to change it without it being too obvious, silly really 😊😊).
The fridge needs organising too.
I’m on the sofa with tea and the cat, am stringing it out until 6 am when I might just go and prep the slow cooker shin of beef stew I’m doing for Sunday dinner.

I'm thirsty but too tired to go downstairs for a drink but too thirsty to sleep.
Ds woke up due to a bad cough and I'm trying to stop his 5am wake up habit so now we are both trying to sleep on a makeshift bed on his floor and I'm still awake.

Hope everyone feels better soon and good luck pregnant ladies

to everyone poorly/struggling.

For once it's a nice reason. We are going away today and I'm very excited.
Went to bed too early so been awake since 4am, just want to get up and go!

Been awake since before 3. Too warm. Stuff going round my head; nothing important. Just can’t get back to sleep. Got a long drive tomorrow though so it’s not good. Hate insomnia.

Been awake since 4.30. I went to sleep around 10.30 so I’ve had enough. Having a cup of tea. DP still fast asleep.
