Listening to the rain.

I’m awake because it is 12:45pm where I am. I’m also very bored so flicking through MN to keep me entertained!

I'm awake because I'm on a sleepover and seagulls are congregating outside my window.

Parkandride hope you get the answer you want.

Ok, just ordered a yoga mat from Amazon, as you do at 6am in the morning 😊. It is light here in the UK and I am now finally going to bed and I'll probably be awake in a few hours.
Goodnight, and good morning everyone.

Woke randomly at 4 needing glass of water. Trying to get back to sleep I couldn't stop worrying about job security and financial security... been scrolling MN, bbc news and brainpickings.org since then

Parkandride · 16/08/2020 06:34

Omg it's positive Grin no getting back to sleep now!

@wishthiswasreallife thank you! Sleep well Smile

therhubarbbrothers · 17/08/2020 02:19

Because I'm hungry

Sairafina · 17/08/2020 02:43

I'm in the past! 8.42pm on Sunday evening and just finished a big bowl of chocolate brownie ice cream 😋
Congrats on the positive!! How exciting!

therhubarbbrothers · 17/08/2020 02:47

Huh, where's my ice cream ? HmmSmile

Frownette · 17/08/2020 02:49

@triptrapdollydumpling

Listening to the rain.
Sometimes that's so nice.

I'm going to eat the leftovers from my dinner now and that will probably make me fall asleep.

Toddlerteaplease · 17/08/2020 03:17

I'm on nights. It's really quiet!

therhubarbbrothers · 17/08/2020 03:46

Argh, all this food talk 🙄😂
I'm glad the night shift is quiet, let me guess, you'll be having toast soon Grin

Cockadoodledooo · 17/08/2020 04:31

Don't say the q word @toddlerteaplease!
I've been awake since 2:30 due to a delightful combination of heartburn and nightsweats/hot flushes.

howsicklyarsekissy · 17/08/2020 04:32

Oh I decided to try one of my daughters adhd meds this afternoon ! Oops

maldivemoment · 17/08/2020 04:58

No idea why I’m awake! So annoying.
Husband at work. I’m on my own with the 2 wee ones and need to get up in 2 hours for school! 😡
Wish the sun would come up...hate being awake when it’s dark.

ThousandsAreSailing · 17/08/2020 05:15

I'm awake because SN teen is oblivious to time or respect for others sleep and woke me at 2.30 to ask for a cup of tea
Then got upset because I was snappy. I can't get back to sleep and have work in the morning. I have functioned, badly, for years with too little sleep 😴

FoolsAssassin · 17/08/2020 05:19

Cat made a noise , DH went to investigate. I woke and thought thank goodness I am awake, dreamt they were going to delay GCSE results then realised that wasn’t a dream and that was being discussed.

Congratulations Parkandride

latticechaos · 17/08/2020 05:29

Combination of the rain and general worrying. I've started sleeping especially badly on Sunday nights since lockdown.

QuestionableMouse · 17/08/2020 05:33

Raining really hard and woke me up. I didn't get to sleep until nearly 2am!

ComeOnEileen11 · 17/08/2020 05:34

Up with toddler, I'm next to his bed while he drinks milk. He's been asleep since ,6.30pm though, so this is him up for the day.
Woke up at 4.20 so fed baby, she struggled to settle so had cuddles. Put her in the cot when I heard toddler and she's settled nicely.
Want to go downstairs for tea and digestives though. Also have washing I need to put away so I can hang the nappies - put a wash on last night but fell asleep before it finished.

Ragwort · 17/08/2020 05:35

Not really sure, I had a very lazy day yesterday, fell asleep on the sofa in the afternoon (instead of going out for a brisk walk as planned Blush), so not properly tired. I only really need 6 hours sleep at night but with all the current restrictions on lifestyle I am going to bed earlier than I really need to. So I have made myself a coffee and looking at Mumsnet, I start work late morning on a Monday so no rush to get up.
