Hi Munkeyface, I can't sleep either!

Munkeyface · 21/02/2021 02:23

Awful isn't it

I can't sleep as I have wound myself up so that's it for tonight!

Had covid jab on Fri, AstroZeneca. You name the listed possible side affects and I had every single one except the rash (although I didn't look for it so it may have been there!) felt like shit Fri eve and this morning. Dh offered to take dc out to give me some down time. He managed 90 minsHmm

But socially distanced a friend who is struggling, said would be an hour or two... Came home 6 hours later.

The six hours could have been helpful taki g dc out for day....

What's keeping you up?

janeymacaronie · 21/02/2021 02:26

I'm awake! But that's because it's 5:30pm here as I'm in Alaska. Sorry you can't sleep, I hate that.

JoyOrbison · 21/02/2021 02:26

It's rubbish. I agree. I'm on gin to try knocking me out.

Munkeyface · 21/02/2021 02:27

No idea! Some days I just can't sleep. Drifted off at around 11 but woke again at 1. Awake since.

Lying hear trying to sleep but in reality just thinking another couple of hours and I can get up!

JoyOrbison · 21/02/2021 02:30

If we didn't have neighbours I would go. Out and break up all the bed frame to put it in the car for the tip in the morning.

JoyOrbison · 21/02/2021 02:31

Munkeyface if you stay up will you be able to drop off tomorrow night or will you still have a poor night tomorrow night?

MouthAche · 21/02/2021 02:32

Im awake...

Got into such a bad routine

Munkeyface · 21/02/2021 02:32

I hope I can sleep tomorrow. It's a like a lottery some nights I sleep some nights I don't

I’m awake too 😒 messed up the sleep schedule more than usual over half term. Usually can’t drop off until 4-5am

typicalvalues · 21/02/2021 02:33

Sleeping pattern all fucked up due to new medication which causes me to promptly fall asleep during the day but doesn't appear to have the same effect at nigh!

teaandcustardcreamsx · 21/02/2021 02:34

I feel the same typical, though no medication just somehow sleep all day and am awake all night Hmm

readthestandingorders · 21/02/2021 02:35

Awake again. Partner on night shift so never sleep well, plus chronic nerve pain from my back. Sucks doesn't it

JoyOrbison · 21/02/2021 02:36

Ah that's rubbish... Much as having the TV unitterupted is great... I'm sure we'd all. Prefer to be fast asleep.

I know dc1 was up at midnight but that is probably because I gave her Michelle Paver's Thin Air to read and she will have scared her self silly!

MumofSpud · 21/02/2021 02:37

Fell asleep in front of the TV so came to bed and am now wide awake!
So I was looking at houses for sale in Barbados (Property porn instead of counting sheep?!) Do not intend on moving there though Smile

Munkeyface · 21/02/2021 02:40

Currently laughing at the funny sex story thread

I’m also awake. Really struggling since lockdown 1 to have any sort of decent sleep pattern. Typically I am awake until 3am then nod off sometimes between then an 4am. I am bloody knackered.

Dementedswan · 21/02/2021 02:47

I'm wide awake too, after lying in bed trying and failing to sleep, I've given up and got up.

My mind won't stop thinking!

UltimateBlends · 21/02/2021 02:52

Youre not alone op, im awake too.
Listening to random songs on YouTube, feeling pretty lonely..

jazz1995 · 21/02/2021 02:55

Me too! Worked until half 1 been lying in bed awake since. I hate it because I’m always knackered and soon as I’m lying in bed I’m wide awake.

Every bloody night

UltimateBlends · 21/02/2021 02:56

I'm trying whisky mixed with Fanta (all we've got) ...its not working:(
janeymacaronie · 21/02/2021 02:59

I originally came to Alaska to work for a summer, that was 20 years ago!!! Met my husband, and here I still am! The weather is nice and warm in the summers but winters are pretty crap. First snow usually in October and last snow usually in April, and dark. Today is -15 so it's cold, but do sometimes get above 0 for a few days here and there.
On the plus side we had great northern lights last night, great scenery and wildlife!

JoyOrbison · 21/02/2021 03:02

Thanks janeymacaronue I will show ds that when he gets up!

UltimateBlends... Whisky and Fanta?? Oooh eck... I'd say just go neat!
