Why are you up?

[ShrimpingViolet]

Not had any sleep here yet as DD has been very upset with a high temp (bastard teeth).

She's just dropped off next to me horizontally, taking up the whole bed.

Anyone else want to join the party?

Just finished watching the first episode of unforgotten. I'm not too sure what I think about it up to now though 🤔 it's not as good as Marcella.

I enjoyed it! Are you watching from the first series @priya38?

Fell asleep on the sofa at 8..woke up 10.30! In my defence I'm not very well but now I'm wide awake!

Oh no @StillMedusa, what's up? Have you got a book on the go to try and tire you out a bit?

I am in a different timezone but ideally I'd have liked to be asleep about an hour ago. Haven't slept properly in weeks. It is bad when my 7 month old is getting a better night's attention than me.

I have become more of a night owl than I should be seeing as DC will be up in 5 hours
Time to myself at last though...

I'm a 56 year old mature student trying to finish my university work for a hand in on the 15th May. I'm studying textiles, so embroidering during the day, then writing up my research journal/technical file of an evening. DH is on nights this week, so just carrying on until I've had enough. Ten minutes on here, then I'm going to start reading my book and hopefully fall asleep.

Work :'(

Sorry about your dds bastrd teeth

I think the OP must have managed to drop off..

I'm a life long hardcore insomniac. Welcome to the witching hour

Lots of night owls. Are you making anything in particular @Flowersmakemyday?

Sorry you're working @theothersarenotme.

DD keeps waking upset every half hour so resigned to very little sleep here tonight

Sadly not @NeverHadANickname. I'd bloody love to though

I'm still in night shift mode I think, finished nights yesterday, I'm laying here wide awake 😫😫

Same turf tbh I'd be up anyway. It is hard when they're little OP

3yo is going through a phase of having a bad dream then refusing to even try to sleep again, every night. Until he finally succumbs to exhaustion. Yesterday was 1-5am....
I am currently refusing to read any more books so he is howling

I can’t sleep. I was nodding off at 10.30 but kept waking up and I’ve been wide awake since about midnight. I can’t stop thinking about the DCs school and whether to change to a different school once the schools reopen.

Aw that's a shame, I was very jealous! I'm usually awake at this time at the minute and active threads just doesn't move fast enough at nearly 2am UK time 😂

Another hardcore insomniac here but lockdown has sent me off the charts, juat never able to sleep

One year old woke me up to breastfeed and now I'm sucked down the mumsnet rabbit hole

Night owl plus a UTI that only seems to flare up when I get into bed
So it basically goes toilet, get into bed, get up, toilet, get into bed.... repeat x 10

I am so tired. Then working and home educating my other primary children during the day. I'm finding I'm so tired the emails I send probably don't make as much sense as they should....

Sorry you're struggling, insomniacs. Do you feel lockdown has made it worse?

I feel like lots of people are being kept awake with over active minds lately @Juliecloud and having mad dreams when they do sleep!

Whereabouts in the world are you @NeverHadANickname? Are you on lockdown there?

My sleeping is fucked since lockdown, I can’t switch off. DS’s will be awake in 3 and a half hours

Every now and again I feel myself falling asleep 10 minutes after getting in to bed ( about 3 times a year) What I wouldn't give to be able to do that most nights. In fact if I got 3 wishes, that would be my first one
