Why are you awake?

Musical beds in my house tonight so I'm in DCs bed contemplating the very nice dream I had before I was rudely awakened that Cillian Murphy started work in my office Blush

What has you all up at this ungodly hour?

I'm awake because my mental health is shit, physical health going to shit and my financial issues are terrifying. BUT Mumsntet has talked me down and I'm calmer and have a better plan on moving forward and feeling temporarily more positive.

Drunk/ hungover. Had fun beforehand.

PixieDustt · 05/10/2019 05:01

DP's constant moving about whilst asleep. Feel like rolling him out the bed opps

NoraLuka · 05/10/2019 05:02

Just been to pick up DP from a night out. He told me earlier not to worry, he’d get himself home. Then sent a message at 5.30 saying he was about to start walking home from 5 miles away 🙄

NoraLuka · 05/10/2019 05:04

We’re in not in the UK, it’s nearly time to get up here now 🙄

BoudicasBoudoir · 05/10/2019 05:04

Also coughing, blowing nose, coughing rearranging bedclothes. Coughing.

In spare room with husband and baby daughter next door... it’s nice in here. Hmm.

Oh and just to add to my shit night, baby has decided the day has begun!!! He'll be shattered by 6.30 and need a fecking nap 😤

Bluewavescrashing · 05/10/2019 05:05

I thought 2 glasses of fizzy wine was a good idea last night but now I can't sleep. Really restless. Even the cat got fed up with me and has gone downstairs.

willowmelangell · 05/10/2019 05:06

2 mewing cats(mine) and another cat wandering around(nice cat) helping herself to biscuits.

My 9 month old woke up with a stinky nappy and now won't go back to sleep.

Wotrewelookinat · 05/10/2019 05:11

Absolutely full of cold. Slept for about 2 hours. Feel awful. Now dreading phoning work at 8 am to say I can’t come in. They’ll be understanding and sympathetic as they’re all nice people, but I know I’ll be putting them in a difficult situation.

iismum · 05/10/2019 05:21

Indulging DS(10) (against my better judgement) with a camping trip in Cumbria. Luckily it's dry and not too cold but I miss my bed and haven't slept too well.

chesterfuckingdraws · 05/10/2019 05:25

I've been awake since 4, an hour before my alarm for work. Today is going to be a struggle Hmm

Itsacakebaby · 05/10/2019 05:29

Woke up with a hot flush 😡

Impossible to go back to sleep.

Sarcelle · 05/10/2019 05:29

Menopause- not hot sweats, but insomnia and anxiety caused by the menopause

FrenchyQ · 05/10/2019 05:30

Insomnia... Been awake at the same time everyday for the last 2 weeks. I'll manage to get back to sleep when it's time to get up

HRH2020 · 05/10/2019 05:33

Watched Joker at the cinema and it gave me weird dreams. Woke up at 4 ugh

Blutopia · 05/10/2019 05:33

I've been awake for an hour. Had an interview yesterday and whilst the job is perfect and exactly what I want, the location isn't ideal. So I'm contemplating whether I'd take it if it was offered.

PintOfBovril · 05/10/2019 05:34

39 weeks pregnant with really swollen hands that cramp and wake me up. Plus a baby lying on my bladder!

fee1234 · 05/10/2019 05:37

My 4 month old has a temperature and I've just given him calpol and brought him in beside me. I struggle to sleep when he's ill

Horsemad · 05/10/2019 05:41

Been up since 4am, DH is off for a day out with a very early start. Hmm

I had a rubbish night's sleep, so feeling a bit tired but need to be up & out by 8 myself, so just killing time until my alarm goes off.

Lots of coffee needed today methinks.

Doingitaloneandproud · 05/10/2019 05:41

Up for the gym here.. have to get it done before DS football training... I may need a nap later 😂

Bobthefishermanswife · 05/10/2019 05:44

12 week old woke up for his feed 15 minutes ago, took him through to his room, popped downstairs to grab a bottle, he fell asleep in that 30 second period, so I'm expressing while I wait from him to wake back up...

DinosApple · 05/10/2019 05:48

@ConfusedAndStressed95 I hope you managed some sleep FlowersBrew

Awake since 3am when DH came to bed (he fell asleep on the sofa) and woke me up by putting the light on. If I get woken in the night I'm awake for hours- it's the parting gift of a few years of extreme stress that I've not overcome yet.

I've got 7x 8-10yo coming later so I got up and have sorted washing, the chocolate game (🧤🧣👒), the jelly game, a drawing game and made a spy name generator.

Still to source are a stick to dangle donuts from, sticky labels, about 18 hot dog buns and tidy the entire ground floor of my house.

And hide clues in the local wood...

EleanorReally · 05/10/2019 05:59

had a fall yesterday, so neck pain, and now leg pain
