Can never sleep before 2ish but at work in 7 hours so I really am trying! Although not trying that hard as I'm pissing about on my phone...

Bobbin4apples · 16/08/2020 00:07

I work night shift but now have a few days off. I struggle to switch back to regular hours and rarely fall asleep before 3am.

I'm watching The Bridge. 4 episodes this evening, ep 4 just starting. I'm going to push on through with it.

Because I'm a bit of a night owl and normally awake at this time.

wishthiswasreallife · 16/08/2020 00:09

Breastfeeding my 4 week old and hoping she might be happy to sleep afterwards 🤞

MJMG2015 · 16/08/2020 00:09

Because I've just got my Mum off the bloody phone (she's overseas).

A bit annoying as she was discussing some serious stuff that needs a good thinking about, so my mind is whirling. Just what I need at midnight and I'll be awake by 4:20 (rarely sleep past that)

MrsBungle · 16/08/2020 00:10

I’m rewatching line of duty in preparation for the new series and at a really good bit so one more drink it is Wine

lindauk5 · 16/08/2020 00:10

Because I'm still trying to settle into my new house, I'm home alone and struggling to fall asleep and I probably shouldn't have spent the day with the X-Files on!

MJMG2015 · 16/08/2020 00:11

@LucyLucyT

Deep envy!! I'll have a cuddle if she doesn't want to sleep! You can go to bed & have a good, deep sleep! Win/win 😊😊

iVampire · 16/08/2020 00:11

Because DD is not in yet, but is inbound (will be last to be dropped off by shared taxi as apparently one of her mates is worse for wear and needs to be seen home properly)

WitchenKitch · 16/08/2020 00:11

Because it's ten past eleven on Sunday morning!
(I live in the future Grin )

peachpuppy · 16/08/2020 00:12

I've got cats to pet, Spotify to listen to and a husband to get back from a shift hahaha! Though I've been pulling a lot of all nighters recently xx

Flowerpot26 · 16/08/2020 00:13

I'm 8 months pregnant and need a wee every 5 mins plus dh is snoring which isn't helping

bitofawimpreally · 16/08/2020 00:14

I've had a day with my parents, siblings and their families, got home at 10.30pm to find my partner (who refused to come, stayed up all last night and went to bed at 9.30am) is still in bed.

I'm still up because I'm annoyed with him. Debating just going to bed and getting over it, or sleeping on the sofa!

Tronkmanton · 16/08/2020 00:14

Lying awake worrying about my old horse and wondering if the time has come :-(

Persephonecall · 16/08/2020 00:15

Because DD1/2/3 wanted to watch another episode of Line of Duty. 🥰

OntheWaves40 · 16/08/2020 00:16

Because I’ve got 6 weeks off work and as each day passes I go to bed later and wake later. Monday 1st of september is going to be a bitch!

FinallyRelief · 16/08/2020 00:16

DH has a cough - going to get him to call the covid line tomorrow - he's just got up to go to the loo - take paracetamol - cough more

Fingermoose · 16/08/2020 00:17

I've been given notice of redundancy at work. We're on holiday so I've been plastering on a smile, but now everyone's asleep I'm awake and fretting.

OntheWaves40 · 16/08/2020 00:17

@WitchenKitch where are you?

papaver · 16/08/2020 00:18

Feel your pain tronkmanton have similar decision to make about my old boy as he isn’t going to cope with another winter. Have had him over 20 years and can’t imagine life without him.

WitchenKitch · 16/08/2020 00:19

Onthewaves I'm in New Zealand.
