Anyone awake?

[Nomorewine77]

Would love some company, periodic insomnia here. Haven't slept a wink and alarm will be going off in about 90 mins, sooo frustrated!

Hey, yes, I am 7 hours into a 12 hour nightshift!

I'm awake, stress and worry keeling me up. Difficult times right now.
You must be shattered with no sleep!

What do you do if you don't mind me asking?

I’m here got woken up about 2am by some dickheads outside and haven’t been able to sleep since. Balls. Will be woken up early by DD as well.

I'm up with the baby who has decided that 4 am is optimal play time...for five days in a row now... yay for not sleeping

Hi Zena, doesn't happen often usually hormonal, currently wondering whether to try and sleep or whether 1 and half hours sleep will just make me feel worse! Can't seem to switch my brain off I agree awful times right now

I'm here! On the sofa with my hot water bottle whilst everyone else sleeps. Having a teary moment alone before my default daytime confident and coping mode. for us all.

Another one here. Wide awake. Everything that’s happened this week has just hit me.

Hello. Up with my 2yo, after finally getting the baby back to sleep (for now). They've got miserable colds, especially the little one, which always makes sleeping tricky.

If you don't think you're going to get to sleep can you treat yourself to a bath and a nice cup of tea instead? Sometimes trying and failing to sleep is more upsetting than just accepting and making the best of it.

Annie, I remember those days! Now is teenagers stomping around at god knows what time. DS 15 who has ASD has just gotten up for the umpteenth time to throughly was his hands by the sound of it!

*thoroughly wash!

Hot water bottle sounds like a good idea!

@missmouse101 I can empathise, I've got a 16 tear old who's gcse where cancelled and an 11 year old who left his primary school with 2 days notice, really hit them both hard this week and I'm 2 weeks into a new dream job that in all probability will be no more in a few weeks as services are veung cut everyehere. Looking online rightnow for ANY job as single parent. Can't believe how much has changed in 2 short weeks.

Yes, up as usual at 3.30 am for a couple of hours - joys of the menopause.

My dh currently has the symptoms, so very scared.

The world feels unreal, surreal whatever like we are in a mild version of an episode of stranger things!

@Nomorewine77 oh dear! That sounds tough!! How is he handling the whole corona virus scare? He must be terrified.... Luckily DD is only 6 months old so she is just enjoying have mom and dad home full time at the moment... ignorance is bliss

I'm sorry to hear that @effingterrified. Really is worrying 😕

Hello all, wrapped in a blanket on the sofa whilst family sleep and my mind is whizzing.

@Nomorewine77 that's exactly how it feels. I'm not coping very well on the inside 😔 and it's only just starting.

3 hours to go of my nightshift....

Shattered

@Greenkit I reckon night shift work is the best shift pattern to have right now.

I work 2 early, 2 late and 2 nights....

I’m up with indigestion. Again

@AnnieS2511 likes the fact he doesn't have to go to school, but is utterly bewildered by some of the stuff on social media, have had to police his ipad a bit. Facts reassure him so he's ( hopefully not right now ) working his way through New Scientist magazine!
