Why are you awake?

[velvethaze]

DD is 9 months old, full of cold and only wants to sleep on my chest. She's snoring away and I'm just scrolling through Mumsnet.

What's keeping you up?

Feeding the baby! He’s fallen asleep and I should head back to bed but feels so lazy to move!

Hope your DD gets better soon!

Hope DD gets better soon.
I'm on nightshift ☺️

Breastfeeding

Chronic pain. I'm having an Irish coffee though, which is lovely.

@Guzzlingguzz @Iquitit thank you both!

@LemonDrizzles ah, I sometimes miss those late night feeds.

@SpindleWhorl sorry to hear about your pain! Hope you can get some sleep. Enjoy your Irish coffee!

Puppy woke me up! And now my brain is awake and in anxiety mode

@velvethaze

Had to go to the ladies

I’ve just come off night duties and now I’m just wide awake

Went on a picnic and seem
To have a dodgy tummy

Hope your little one is better soon OP!

DD1 (4) has conjunctivitis and has clambered into bed with us, she started crying so we both got up and washed her poorly eye. All settled back down in our bed now, though DD2 (17 months) keeps threatening to wake and I can hear her moving about through the monitor. 😬

Also 26 weeks pregnant with DD3 who seems to have woken as well and is kicking away.

I caught COVID and strangely one of my (many) symptoms is not being able to sleep?! Not that I'd stay asleep long with the cough!

Fell asleep too early last night and now I'm awake. Just realised I got the wrong day for DS best friends birthday party and now because of my mistake he's missed it so feel really guilty.

Feeding newborn. He was asleep an hour ago but DH thought he was breathing too loud so woke him up 🙄

Same as you OP but DD is 2.

DD (3yrs) woke up demanding that her feet be cleaned for some reason and then Ds (18m) woke up half hour later so is now asleep on me

Think I'm having a panic attack trying to distract myself and breathe

I haven't slept at all well since my covid vaccine.
It may be coincidence, or not. Either way, I wish I was asleep!

I understand how you feel. I've done it myself. You could plan a trip out for your ds and his best friend as a treat for them both.

I've just woken with a headache.
Going to get some paracetamol and a cup of tea.

Me too. I’m currently on the sofa trying not to wake anyone with my ‘annoying’ cough. My family have absolutely no sympathy. Hope everyone’s babies are soon back asleep.

Perimenopausal night sweats and a night-owl teen waking me up a couple of hours ago. Grr

@CliffordMouse hope you are ok apart from sleep

@Bingbongbooo sorry you are feeling anxious. I hope you can calm yourself. The wee hours are always the worst if you're feeling like that, then the sun comes up, the world starts humming with activity, and it's all much more in perspective

A PP - love that your 3 year old needed an emergency midnight foot wash!

@Harrykanesrightsock is your family also annoyed they have to self-isolate for 10 days? terrible we are, catching COVID! hope your cough subsides soon, for your sake

Night shift worker

Covid here to, myself and sons are struggling to sleep, coughing, temp etc
Hope everyone gets rest.
