Why are you awake?

[Notopel]

I’m awake due to sciatica and the start of a cold. I’ve taken some ibuprofen, had a cup of tea and now settling down with some Wolf Hall (can’t wait for book 3). Alarm was set for 5 for a morning Peleton workout. I’ll probably end up falling asleep at 4:30 and snoozing my alarm.

Why are you awake?

Feeding my 3 day old baby - again.

My last night shift of the week 3.5 hours to go wahoo!

@LauraPalmersBodybag we bedshare so no lights, I don’t even move! Just pop boob out and feed. We are past needing to change at night and she doesn’t need re-settling (4.5 months old). Which makes it worse!

10 month old has sickness bug so is in bed with us grumbling away and has just done a disgusting explosive nappy so had to wake us all up to change her.

Partner obviously couldn’t sleep so clattering away downstairs now I’m wide awake😕

I'm awake worrying about court and the child arrangement order by ex has put in :( ds has a cough that has woken me

My 18 year old cat has dementia so enjoys keeping me up all night yowling! Been awake since 3am and can’t get back to sleep this has been going on for three years and I’m beyond knackered

Slept like crap on and off all night. Just woke up and remembered I'd put some towels on a heater in the living room last night and they were still on it! Got up to take them off when I went in the living room there was a slight burning smell in the air!!

I had a bad dream and am Mumsnetting to,get rid of it.

insomnia. Woke up at 3am thinking/ worrying about work. Got up at 4.30 and on the sofa with the dog having a hot chocolate. Everyone else gets up in an hour . I'll probably want to go to sleep about 5 minutes before I am meant to get up. It's going to be a long day.

Woke up at 5. Yesterday it was 3, so that’s an improvement!! I’m hungry so possibly it’s that.

Kind of envious and nostalgic hearing about all the sleep deprived mums with babies.

DS 7 came in at 4.20 to ask if he could go downstairs to play. He's now sound asleep next to me. I've done next week's Tesco order & checked what I've been paid (new job first month). It looks like too much (probably not taxed properly yet) but not getting up to log on & look at my payslip just yet (nice & warm here).

Couldn't check out Tesco order as credit card doesn't have my phone number apparently. Yes you do but I'll give it to you again chaps thanks.

Sympathies to those worrying about work stuff. Thinking about work but new job means exciting stuff to do rather than worries atm. I can highly recommend x

I was awake early then couldn't rest and get back to sleep over thinking/ worrying about a child in my class !!!

Things I needed to write down so I didn't forget. Just had a warm milk, now going back to bed!

Feeding the baby, hoping to squeeze in another hour before the 7:30 alarm.

Woke at 4 and started worrying about food for dd's wedding. In June! And also how many bottles of prosecco we need at £20 a bottle.
Also a little envious of mum's feeding babies. If only I'd realised that was the easy bit of raising dc.

My 8 month old is nearly crawling so has spent most of the night since

12am tossing and turning around her bed, doing yoga poses and rocking on all fours shouting "dadadadada"
She's also teething and have her firett two teeth coming in. She's just fine back to sleep so I can try and get another half an hour before my alarm goes off. Woohoo!

I'm awake because yet another UTI woke me up at 4am and ive been in agony since

I could've done something constructive like clean or go to the gym
Instead I'm in bed drinking tea, eating hot x buns and watching Netflix

Pregnancy insomnia had me up at 4am. Had my 12 week scan yesterday so mostly lying here quietly excited 😊

Annoyingly the police helicopter is hovering above our house for some reason though which has kept me up. At least I’m wfh today so can have a sneaky lunchtime nap!

I want hot cross buns now. Awake again because teenage dd got up and put the landing light on, more fool me for leaving my door open.

Ohh I ve got hot crossed buns! I couldn’t get back to sleep as OH still clattering around downstairs. Can’t wait till 2115 tonight when I finish my shift, alarms just gone off now 😕
