Up and anxious, 4.30am. Why are you up?

[coffeeandbooks]

Really struggling tonight with my anxiety. I have a stomachache and I'm emetophobic so really scared of potentially vomiting 😭

My partner and I had an argument just now too so that's really not making me feel good either.

Anyone else awake?

Working a night shift in a dementia unit.

Sorry you’re having a tough time. I’m up because I was woken by the 1k decibel snoring of dh. My sleeping has been bonkers since menopause.

I'm up because my two year old got up at 4:10 and he wants boob.

I'm up because I have insomnia, awake since 1am.

Carpal tunnel syndrome in my hands. Bloody annoying and painful. Also, i had to pee.

Woke at 3 for about the third time last (this?!) night and couldn’t get back to sleep. Am still lying in bed, but think I’ll bite the bullet and get up to make a cup of tea.
Sorry you’re feeling anxious OP

I'm awake because I had a rough night Friday night and fell asleep around 8pm last night, so I've now had my 8 hours 🙄

I may get some more sleep 🤞

3yo wanted boob at 3.30 and took ages to settle, then wanted the other side. Now settling her again and I need to pee. I am now wide awake and listening to her snoring.

Had a horrific nightmare, woke up drenched in sweat so had to change my pyjamas. I'm still unsettled.

I'm up worrying about work. So annoying as I've woken pretty much e dry day this week and being tired just makes it worse.

Insomnia, not been to sleep at all yet.

I'm also emetophobic OP, it's awful isn't it? I'm awake as I'm naturally an early bird and usually get up around now. I will probably get a cup of tea in a bit and read.

Could you have a look at some mindfulness maybe OP? Some square breathing or similar can help to lower the anxiety, hope your tummy feels better soon.

I’m an insomniac so been awake several times in the night.
Finally got to sleep then the cat woke me at 4:20 to go out, he went outside but realised it was fucking freezing so came straight back in complaining loudly!

Took my dogs out for a wee!

Have post covid /viral fatigue so often exhausted during the day and wide awake in the early hours...lieing here worrying about health and finances but will get up and make a cup of tea in ten mins ...sorry to hear your troubles ..hope you have a better day 🌞

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and can't stop getting up to pee...then I can't get back to sleep!

My 16 week old dd is going through the 4 month sleep regression. She's woken every hour so far tonight and just had a bottle.

Baby needed feeding and am now pumping for the next feed (baby refuses breast).

I'm up because I'm pretty sure I'm peri menopausal 😞.

I'm up because I haven't gone to bed yet . I've been even more of a night owl than usual as I've been off work since before Christmas. Off to bed now to try and sort my sleep schedule out before I go back on Monday. I have a feeling it's not going to work.

Been up since 2:30, 20 weeks pregnant suffering from SPD, back pain, nausea and DH snoring doesn't help!

My teething 10 month old will currently only sleep while being held, so I'm propped up trying to stay awake and secretly enjoying the cuddles that he's far too busy for during the day.

for anyone awake worrying or ill.

Woke up half an hour ago, roasting, to find both dogs almost on top of me.
No idea why they need to do this, it's a king sized bed!

I am worrying about work ... I am waking up at 4 nearly every day now.
Think I am going to get up and carry on planning .
Now have the added delight of making videos for my class and feel I need to look presentable so need to wash my hair and do my make up.
Any plans for Sunday pj day are well and truly out of the window !

Cause I've chronic insomnia since 2016 when I had a hysterectomy and ovaries whipped out. Can't take HRT due to having had two DVTs. Then diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism which causes high blood calcium. My resting heart rate is about 120 as excess calcium excites the heart. Half my thyroid and a couple of parathyroids taken out 2017.Now still have pHPT and underactive thyroid. Hoping to have another op abroad to cure the pHPT ehen Covid situation improves. Suppose its hormones? I take Amytriptiline at night cause pHPT causes bone pain amongst about 20 other symptoms.
