Why are you awake?

[wishthiswasreallife]

I did fall asleep around 12 and have just woke up now I don't know why but unlucky for me I'm now wide awake 😭 I guess it's stress,not particularly because of current situation just other factors in my life.
anyway I read Mumsnet all day/night so decided to see why is everyone else awake?

Just fed 4 week old baby DD. Waiting for her to get into a deep enough sleep to get her back in her basket.
Sorry you’re stressed OP

I miss those baby night feeds they were my favourite every where was so quiet it felt like just us up.

I haven’t been to sleep yet at all.

Health anxiety in overdrive.

Sore throat + my brain = covid (fully aware sore throat isn’t an ‘offical’ symptom)

DD woke up and is now wedged between us.

Same as @Didyeaye - but a 10week old :)

I have been drinking too much caffeine on a late shift and now I can't sleep. I have to be up at 7am. I may need some cheese...

Neck pain and headache. I’ve just had paracetamol, codeine, diazepam and rubbed in voltarol gel. Waiting for pain to ease.

@PriceEmUp I've had a sore throat too, sure there's something going around.

I just woke up and will go and get a cup of tea soon. I'm having problems setting up work computer so wondering if I should have another bash, I need to put in code for office 365.

I’ve stopped drinking for January -am on third dry night and got woken up by ds. For work in the morning so finding it hard to drop back off. Grrr!

Not been to sleep yet either

Anxiety has set insomnia off I think.

Not knowing what's happening with schools for dc tomorrow which means last minute planning if at all as usual childcare are grandparents which I'm trying tonkeep seperate from dc at the minute due to the massive rise in cases.

One dc in gcse year so home learning and stressing about it so I'm trying to help as much as I can.

Also trying to hold down a job in an industry that is likely to be shut down again soon and I don't think it can survive another lockdown.

My brains whirring away about it all as well as the financial implications of another lockdown.

This happened last time and the time before so i know its rearing it's ugly head again

I am dreading going to work (in a school) tomorrow. I just can’t seem to drift off.

I need to sleep now!!

Husband asked me yesterday why he needs me? Apparently someone at work asked him that because I don't wash his shitty, pissed on clothes anymore. Then proceeded to tell me he was recording our argument for the courts during our divorce. Then after our son woke up from his nap tried to apologise. This isn't the first time he's been so awful to me and then thought he can just apologise and make it better. My friend thinks it's emotional abuse. All I know is I'm done. Can't sleep because I live in his home country and I don't know how to extricate myself.

Moved into spare room as my DP was getting on my nerves (restless legs). Now im Convinced if I go to sleep I'll be burgled. No logical reason for it. Never used to be anxious but in the last few months this is becoming a more common occurrence. I suspect it's because I'm getting wound up about work, life, covid etc but it's becoming a real issue for me.

@GreenLeafTurnip sounds like a nightmare. Is he drinking too much? You need professional advice about leaving, presumably back to UK?

Just can't get over. Third night in a row.

Reckon it's a mix of back to work fear, coronavirus anxiety and just can't get my brain to turn off!

Had planned on doing a workout on zoom tomorrow at 6.30 and now I know I'll struggle to get for work at 9 never mind working out!!

@GreenLeafTurnip sounds pretty shit hope you are able to get some help to get home

Wide awake because I have so much going on in my head. Two uni assignment due in next few days which I haven’t started on yet, my marriage of 18years is quite clearly over and I don’t know what to do or where to start with ending it all, my 3 year old is wide awake. Struggling with grief after losing 4 loved ones in last 6 months and have no idea what’s happening regarding the schools in the next few days .. so yeah my head is full!

@GreenLeafTurnip that sounds awful. Sorry to everyone else as well. I suspect a few of us are teachers!

Classic night owl here. My natural rhythm is to stay up late and sleep late. Need to try to get to other people's normal by this time next week as I need to hold down a 9-5 job.

@GreenLeafTurnip that sounds unbearable, I'm sorry. Can you try to plan your escape?

@BettaSplenden covid is messing with my head too.

I am an insomniac at the best of times, but have a chronic pain issue which is worse than usual atm - I usually try to stay in bed and stick it out but had enough tonight and decided to get up so I don't disturb DH.

I’m in pain so not sleeping. Dc will be up in less than 3 hours so almost pointless attempting to sleep now.
Also wondering what the next PM announcements will bring in terms of schools/childcare etc

Feeding my nearly 2 month old

DD slipped down the stairs on her bum today and woke up crying tonight saying it hurts. I hope it's just bruised as I did the same but broke my coccyx. She's now asleep in our bed but taking up most of it. To top it off I then got called out for work. Back in bed now trying to sleep on a post it size section of the mattress.

Three year old came in at 1:50 to try his luck at getting into bed with us (why won't this child sleep?). I noticed a lot of alerts on my phone so checked the bank only to see that my husband forgot to change the direct debit to his credit card and the whole balance has been paid. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not what I'd planned to do this month.
Then I fell down a holiday worm hole online. We've got two trips coming up and I'd like both to be cancelled but they haven't yet. So that's stressing me a little bit.
Now I'm looking at the clock and thinking I'll have 3 hours sleep if I drop off now......
Plus we had a takeaway as a last hurrah before the diet starts and my stomach is not happy about the situation

Woke from a nightmare. Horrendous. I'm glad i woke actually.
