Please tell me I'm not the only one awake?!

It's too hot for me to sleep, I've been in bed since 10pm tossing and turning, no duvet, changed the pillow cases twice as they're cooler when they're new ones and wandered around the house for a bit.

Making a mental list of all the things I need to do tomorrow --aside from drop dead due to lack of sleep!

-Laundry (the only good thing about this heat is that the washing dries quicker!)
-General hoover & clean.
-Trip to Lidl's & supermarket before they close early for bank holiday.
-Strip bed and change sheets.

Me too teething baby. I hope everyone gets some sleep soon.

HairyFloppins · 26/08/2019 03:11

Awake with toothache here as well. Not too bad when I'm sitting up, unbearable when laying down.

Cunting neighbours shouting at each other in the garden as well.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 26/08/2019 03:11

I’m awake. No idea why.

CloudyVanilla · 26/08/2019 03:12

I’m awake again :( 19 weeks pregnant and can’t sleep regardless of temperature! Hope it passes soon, sending sleepy thoughts to everyone 💤

Teaandcrisps · 26/08/2019 03:14

I'm up too! Cant sleep although really enjoying the silence tbh. Also thinking about jobs tomorrow and hoping I have enough nrg to paint my front door.

JudgeLinda · 26/08/2019 03:15

My plane landed this evening from Florida and I went to bed at 11pm I think I have jet lag. Sad

Tink1990 · 26/08/2019 03:18

Are you taking anything for it HairyFloppins ? Ive never had toothache and dont know what to do! Ive been taking paracetamol but it barely helps tbh!

HairyFloppins · 26/08/2019 03:22

Just paracetamol @Tink1990. I can't take ibuprofen, Co-codamol is meant to be good as well.

Have the dentist on Tuesday. Can't wait.

Hope yours eases soon.

threeamclub · 26/08/2019 03:22

I'm sorry so many of us are awake! Nothing worse than a crap nights sleep.

Anyone got any tips? I've tried listening to ASMR on YouTube and reading but nothing's making me un-restless lol

Another one in the Wide Awake Club. Autistic DS has decided out bed is THE place to sleep tonight, I’ve left him with his Dad as he’s 16 (going on 10/11) and over 6ft now and despite a superking bed I was on the edge.
I have come downstairs with a duvet and the cat has joined me where she’s merrily making biscuits and purring.
And it’s cooler down here too.

Tink1990 · 26/08/2019 03:26

Thanks HairyFloppins oh god, I dont want to go to the dentist, I hope it goes away!

DuckWillow · 26/08/2019 03:29

Do you have a nice dentist Tink, it would be worth looking up a local one for nervous patients. Toothache is horrid, I had one a couple of weeks back but my check up is on Tuesday, am expecting a filling as one of my back teeth has chipped.

OccasionalNachos · 26/08/2019 03:32

17 weeks pregnant & stuffy nose Hmm I need to sleep! It’s not even that hot here.

Oddgirlout · 26/08/2019 03:33

I'm awake too! Too hot, have managed to cool down but still flippin awake! Why?!?!

Tink1990 · 26/08/2019 03:37

I dont have a dentist, no. Im going to have to find one, im useless with pain. Goodness me. It hasnt let up since yesterday evening, a simple dull ache. Hope everyone gets some sleep soon Smile

Bobismyfriend · 26/08/2019 03:41

I'm also awake. Woke up at 12.30 and just come downstairs to eat some cream crackers and sm having a cup of tea. Can hear DH upstairs snoring flaunting his great he is at sleeping.....don't know why I'm awake but intrusive thoughts were making things worse.

Hope you all sleep soon.

FFSOMG · 26/08/2019 03:44

I’m still awake, im in a psychiatric intensive care unit and it’s been a rough day. I’ve even had diazepam and zopiclone and managed a couple of hours, now my brain is full of thoughts.

AntiHop · 26/08/2019 03:44

Windows need to be wide open as it's so hot but noisy neighbours keeping me awake grrr.

Bobismyfriend · 26/08/2019 03:49

We had some noisy neighbours having a full on garden party with what sounded like an Elvis impersonator this evening so I feel your pain! They've shut up now luckily

Whattodo20192 · 26/08/2019 03:50

Just finished another night feed with the baby.
My ds is back to school this week and I suddenly have raging mum guilt that the summer has gone so fast and feel like he missed out on a fun summer because of his baby brother. We took two day trips to touristy places but he hasn't had a day at the beach, no holiday. He's probably found it very tough going from being an only child to suddenly having a brother who dictates what we can do and when we can do it.

6utter6ean · 26/08/2019 03:54

My DS2 (12) had a bad dream, so I've settled him down again, but now I'M wide awake!
Sending sympathy to those in pain Flowers

Newearringsplease · 26/08/2019 03:54

My neighbour has one of those sprinkler things in his garden, its like sleeping on a golf course

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 26/08/2019 03:57

Well I’m still awake but it’s only 22:54 here. I’m probably not going to sleep well tonight though because I will be anticipating my alarm going off at stupid o’clock (for a nice reason though, we are going on a 4-day mini break before school starts).

Sending lots of peaceful ZZZ’s to everyone.
