anyone else been awake since 3am?

[Rachel438]

I have and am due to leave for work in 30 mins - not feeling great but okay.

Tell me I'm not on my own with this - I am sure I won't be.

Don't have small children here - just couldn't sleep - hot flushes etc.

On a Saturday, too? Poor you, OP! Will you get any time to recharge this evening?

yup - I'm finishing work around 3pm so not too bad - just gets dull being awake half the night - as I'm sure many experience every night

I keep waking up at 3 am. I think mines stress/anxiety related. I also have work soon. I'm usually ok until around 5pm then that's when he tiredness gets me. Fingers crossed we can both get through today!

I've been up since 3, period yuckiness. Got small children to be up with.
I've survived on much, much less but am dreading the insomnia I expect menopause will one day bring.

By yuckiness I mean pain, I'm not a troll

@angelwinter yup anxiety regarding teenage kids here - tried 'relaxing' for an hour before getting up - will make through no worries

@namechange - I'm thinking about HRT but take other meds as well so don't want to add to the mix. Lots of people don't have hot flushes etc, so hopefully you'll be lucky!

haha - didn't think you're trollin'

You might feel better after a hot drink and breakfast as well

I could have written this post myself, only difference is that it was 3yo DS who kept me awake. I’m just about to leave for a 12.5 hour shift 😭😭
I hope we and anyone else who has been awake since the small hours gets through the day!

Awake since 1am - thankfully had 3 hours sleep up to then but nothing since. Horrible isn't it! Much sympathy to those who are out to work or have small children, at least I have no responsibilities today.

Went to sleep at 12-30 awake since 4
Ibs flare up
Really sucks

Don't forget menopause stress where you lie awake worrying about everything

Im glad Im not the only one!.Been awake since 4 20! Stinking cold ,cant sleep .keep sneezing .Always seem to wake up about 5 30 am for some reason (No body keeping me up)! All older now cant get them out of bed.

Been up since 5am, I keep waking at 5. Currently pregnant and got a cold, so am all blocked up, knackered but unable to breathe and sleep. Would give up and get up but DH is sleeping on the sofa as I’ve been such a restless/snuffling/snoring sleeper the last couple of nights.

Awake since 3:30 with a cold up at 5 because my 14 month old is full of beans and wanting to play.
