Can’t sleep....

...anyone else?

Feel like an idiot as alarm will go off at 6:25 and il struggle to wake up. But struggling to quieten mind and feeling a bit low - find scrolling through these forums and some of the glorious randomness of that chat helps.

Anyone else in the same boat? Confused

Yeah, I can't sleep either. First day back at work tomorrow, I can never relax the night before. Not looking forward to that alarm!

Blankspace4 · 24/04/2019 00:54

That was me last night....but this is day two back at work??!!

I think it’s the long weekend that’s done it - left to my own devices I’m a night owl.

Whoever said the working day had to be 9-5 🙄🙄

Me neither
I've had 4 Kalms nights and 2 cups of sleepy tea about 2 hours ago and nothing 🙄 I'm up for work too 🤦‍♀️

iN33danap · 24/04/2019 00:58

Same here! Hopefully will drop off soon...

AlexaShutUp · 24/04/2019 00:58

Yeah, I'm a night owl by nature too. Was off work last week so allowed myself to stay up. Paying for it now...

Blankspace4 · 24/04/2019 00:59

Kalms....might have to look into those. Do they make you drowsy in the morning?

I'm on new meds. The doc said take them in the morning, cos if you take them at night you won't be able to sleep. I can't sleep.

Blankspace4 · 24/04/2019 01:01

Steroids?

Don't waste your money on Kalms! Try Nytol one a night instead - ive run out so had the kalms about 10pm with the sleepy herbal tea and still can't sleep

frankie001 · 24/04/2019 01:30

I’m up too.
Just cleaned kitchen while trying not to
Think about my alarm going off in 5 hours.

Pickleandparty · 24/04/2019 01:32

Can't sleep as I'm gutted.. I've had one of those dreaded 'unfortunately you have not been successful bla bla..' emails from a job that would of changed my life:'( but it's taken them three bloody weeks to tell me this!

Rainbow1781 · 24/04/2019 01:35

I can't sleep, but for good reason. Absolutely buzzing from seeing Take That in Manchester tonight. Just hope the toddler sleeps through !

goose1964 · 24/04/2019 01:38

I can't sleep either, I used to be early-ish to bed and very early riser. I now have a hip condition which causes strong pain,and I can only sleep when the need to sleep outweighs the pain.

The meds I have to help me sleep don't make me drowsy but helps me sleep longer. Luckily I don't need to go to work, I woke up at nearly 10 this morning

Blankspace4 · 24/04/2019 02:06

@picklesndparty

Sorry to hear that. The bastards 😔

Blankspace4 · 24/04/2019 02:08

@goose1964 sorry to hear about your hip. I am on some opiates pain relief too as it happens a but it seems to do the opposite of making Me drowsy. Wired, more like. How bizarre.

I'm also awake. Feeling really crappy and in need of a hug. I'm going to be a zombie at work in the morning.

Blankspace4 · 24/04/2019 02:15

Sending virtual hugs. What’s up?

Pickleandparty · 24/04/2019 02:30

I know :( the worst thing about it is as it took so long I thought no news was good news ( as they said they would get back either way ) and I took that all these security checks were a good sign. Owell back on the bandwagon! X

Icequeen01 · 24/04/2019 02:32

I’m awake too as NDN’s son knocked on our door around 6pm very upset as his mum (single parent) was feeling unwell. To cut a long story short, she had called an ambulance and they took her to A & E to get checked out. I then took her DS up to the hospital (30 mike trip) to see his mum briefly at around 8pm as he was worried. . I brought him home and he’s staying the night but then got a text at 1am from his mum asking me to collect her as she had been discharged. So another 30 mile round trip to go and collect her. She’s now asleep next door, her DS is sound asleep here, my DH is snoring loud enough to wake the dead and I’m wide awake! I’ve got to be up at 6.30 and have offered to drop her DS off at school which is in the opposite direction to work so will be rushing round like a blue arsed fly in a few hours! Please let me sleep 😡

I’m awake. 10wk scan tomorrow and nervous! 13hrs to go.
Had a lot of pregnancy insomnia though

Megan2018 · 24/04/2019 02:43

20wk scan, not 10!
