Anyone awake - my toddler is!!!

[coconutzzz]

My usually perfect sleeping toddler who is usually does 7:30-7 has been awake NINE times tonight and I'm losing the will 😩

Every excuse - my head hurts, I need a wee, my mouth hurts, I had a bad dream, my hands hurt, I want a cuddle.....

I just want sleep but I'm scared to close my eyes as I feel even worse if I'm woken from sleep!

Will he sleep if he’s in with you?

And I’d love to feel sorry for you but you lost me at “usually does 7-7.30”... 😬

Mine has started waking again. Goes back to sleep if I give them milk.

@Isadora2007 haha this is why I'm feeling sorry for myself - I don't know how lucky I've got it

@JoanApple thanks! He's actually managed a full half hour asleep so I'm hoping this is it...

I'm just too scared to go to sleep myself in case he kicks off again

I'm awake. Not due to kids, but menopause 😭 yet another bedding change and shower.
I remember the nights of being up with the kids though and you have my sympathy.
It can feel like you're the only person in the world who is going through it.

DH woke me up crashing around. As I'm a sahm, I have to get up when he does. He's not taking to me, so I don't know what I've done as he was last night Maybe I moved too much and woke him or something...

I'm awake. On a night shift. Daydreaming about sleep 💤

@Willacrystalballwork I hear you. I finished my last night shift yesterday morning.
I try not to spend the witching hour thinking about being tucked up in bed, but my brain always takes me there.

@CVGap Why do you have to get up when he does? Are your children up too?

One of them is now (always wakes up either when DH showers or when DH turns on hall light and opens front door as his room is right next to the door)

Ah, I see. Hope you can relax later @CVGap 🙂

I've been awake since 5. No small kids. I just usually wake up early, drives me nuts once the mornings turn & it's not light & lovely.

No idea why I wake as I'm utterly bloody exhausted, but I feel worse if I manage to go back to sleep.

At least your toddler is cute!

Been up since 4, like you with my usually good sleeper. I feel even worse if I go back to sleep so looks like we're up for the day!

Arrrgg yes hi I'm just awake.
DS is sleeping soundly like a little cherub next to next to me. DH is in the spare room as he was out last night & didn't want to wake me up bless him. Other DS is asleep in his own room. The pets sre ssleep. Its just me 🙄
I know scrolling on here wont help. Really want a cuppa now

@RaspberrySkies That's typical 😂 go get a cuppa and put your feet up while you have the chance.

@Kolsch very relatable 🤣
1 hour to go, then drop the kids off and have a cracking 4 hours sleep before collecting them

Hope everyone has a good day and sending lots of sleepy dust for an early night!

I wish I'd seen this newborn and 3yo tag teamed last night - longest period awake was 1.30-3.15 send helllllp

Update!

Eventually got some sleep from around 4am. He's very perky and full of himself this morning...

Hope you're all full of coffee energy and ready for the day ahead 😴

@Willacrystalballwork I hope you manage to get a decent sleep today.
@coconutzzz That's typical 😂 I hope you get some time to relax today.

I've currently got a B.T man here drilling into my wall. I just hope the neighbour is already up with her toddler. If I'd have known drilling was going to be involved then I would have booked him for later.
To be fair, I should have realised 😳

@Kolsch thanks! Fat chance as I've got work until 2 and then some medical appointments to attend!

I'd say after 8 is a perfectly reasonable to to have work done

Have a lovely day

Glad you got some sleep.

Today is looooooong! And the IL's are coming tomorrow so I really need to start cleaning.

8 am is definitely ok on a weekday Kolsch

My neighbour is getting married in secret today 😀 (I caught them with a cake stand and decorating their car!)

@CVGap don't you just hate having guests

We're going away for the night tomorrow which I'm not convinced is the best idea in current circumstances but it's not breaking any current rules so I think "why not" whilst we have the chance...

A secret wedding? Oh how lovely!!!

Enjoy your night away, make the most of it @Coconutzzz 🙂
