I see a few threads here right now with other users online so curious as to your reason?

For me, I had a long hot shower, tucked myself up in fresh bedding, started reading my book and fell into a nice natural sleep only to be woken by not so much a bad dream but bad thoughts in my dream if that makes sense and I could not go back to sleep so i came down the stairs, poured an alcoholic drink and hoping I will be able to knock myself back out in about an hour as I have work tomorrow.

I'm on my tea-break. Finish at 7am then home to bed.

Namechange170518 · 27/10/2020 03:42

Hope you get back to sleep!

BigBigPumpkin · 27/10/2020 03:43

Two week old DS isn't feeling sleepy yet.

Notthegoldenchild · 27/10/2020 03:45

I honestly do not envy you @Namechange170518. I worked nights donkeys years ago and I think I am still tired from it!!

Ah I will sleep. The big dent in this glass of wine tells me I will and i have had a lovely vent on here about my negative thoughts so I feel purged :D

Sleep patterns shot to pieces this year! Fell asleep this pm to put the tin lid on it! Came to MN to see what everyone else was up to! Grin

Notthegoldenchild · 27/10/2020 03:46

@BigBigPumpkin aww a newborn that must be so lovely. First one? I only have one and well past that stage but I remember the tiredness well!

I woke up at 1.30. I hope to fall asleep again at some point.

BrrrIsland · 27/10/2020 03:50

Sleep patterns shit here too. Fall asleep early. Then I’m usually awake from 2:30 till 5ish.

BigBigPumpkin · 27/10/2020 03:52

@Notthegoldenchild Second. Got a two year old DD who has crept into my spot in the bed since I've vacated it. When DS eventually sleeps I'll have to negotiate my way back into a tiny gap! Grin

Time zone - I'm not in the UK.....it's only 10:00pm Brew

Notthegoldenchild · 27/10/2020 04:03

@BigBigPumpkin hats off. I can barely cope with the one child!! Enjoy the newborn smell though :)

@FixItUpChappie Looking forward to the elections next week? Im on tenterhooks and I am in Ireland!

Can't sleep.. on holiday from work but still very stressed about what I need to do to prep for the next half term..

Marsbardelight · 27/10/2020 04:06

Woke up wide awake tossing and turning then gave up and came on here for a read! Really wish I could sleep been like this for a few nights. 😔 I've also worked nights in the past maybe my body is reminding me 😳

FixItUpChappie · 27/10/2020 04:08

No, I'm refusing to listen any more! As a Canadian I'm so depressed and powerless about the whole thing that I'm avoiding American news until Nov 4 (and then possibly forever lol)

tobee · 27/10/2020 04:09

God I feel sick with nerves about next week!! Can still remember the trauma from 2016 vividly 🥺

Notthegoldenchild · 27/10/2020 04:14

I cant even remember the feeling 4 years ago but then I was convinced most of America had intelligence. Since then I have changed my mind somewhat. I have American family and when I see their blind love of trump it infuriates me. These are genuinely intelligent people bar their love of this man. I also watched an old interview of Obama and Letterman earlier this evening so my annoyance is to the front of my mind.

Its 22:16 where I live and I like having a nosey on MN while watching tv

Lowkee · 27/10/2020 04:19

I'm awake as I went to bed early last night as I was so upset and angry and took a sleeping tablet. Now I'm awake for the day it seems.

Betty94 · 27/10/2020 04:47

Pregnant and sleep deprived

garlictwist · 27/10/2020 04:49

Working from home and living alone means my sleep is weird. Slept for two hours yesterday afternoon then fell asleep at 8pm so I've been wide awake from 3am. It's going to be a long day!

userxx · 27/10/2020 04:58

My sleep patterns have gone to pot recently 🤷‍♂️

TheWindOnTheMoon · 27/10/2020 05:05

Bad headache. Waiting for painkillers to kick in Sad

HepLaurenceLB · 27/10/2020 05:07

Woke up to breastfeed.
