Have you ever stayed up all night? And what for?

Might have to do this tonight...

How did you manage?

When DS was seriously ill in hospital. No sleep bar the odd 10minutes here or there for a week. Then went into labour at the end of that was and was so broken i was nodding off even during contractions .

One night is totally doable. But make sure you get decent sleep before attempting to do any driving

Loads of times. Night shifts, insomnia, babies, labour, partying and a few times with DH when we first met.

I am a night owl, but 3.00am is when I flag. I just put up with feeling like shit and by 5.00am I get a second wind. There is a scientific reason for this, I read it in that Why We Sleep book, but I have forgotten what it is.

I do 10 hour night shifts once a fortnight. I find them boring as I am the only staff member awake. When I did 12.5 hour night shifts as a HCA I found it easier because I was busier and had company.

It's the following evening I feel like absolute crap. I don't sleep for more than a few hours after a night shift and bloody hell do I feel it now for the following two days. However, I do days and lates as well so I am not in a great sleeping routine.

Just remembered another occasion is watching live sporting events coming from the US

I'm up
Just now as I work constant nightshift as a nurse. I'm constantly exhausted as I have no childcare during the day for my 2 year old
