Why are you awake at this time?

[pinkponkpunk]

2.15am. I'm sat in A&E for the past 10 hours.

What has you awake so late if you're in the same time zone as me?

@flapjackfairy

Child with seizures. Hoping to avoid an ambulance !

hope your little one is okay xx

@Mytinyman

Cuddling my baby girl who was born this afternoon and hoping we will get home tomorrow

congratulations 🥺🥺♥️♥️

@applesarethebest

I've just fed DS again (3 months old and a terrible sleeper literally what the HV said perfect) and I have a very sore throat so I'm going to get a cup of tea once he's back in bed

omg I do not miss the shit sleeper stage 😫 enjoy your tea 🫖

4am and keep waking up middle of the night (this isn’t first wake up) and then giving up. Headteacher who just can’t deal with the sustained exhausting pressure right now. This is by far the worst covid has hit us in my area and we don’t break up until 28th July 😭

@Mytinyman Huge congratulations! The best feeling. Hope you both get out tomorrow

@gggrrrargh

I’ve been on these night posts more often than I’d like recently!

I’ve done something to my back, they think trapped nerve. Spent 14 hours on my hallway floor yesterday, crying from the pain and unable to move. I’ve made it to the bed and it subsided a little but creeping up again 😢

omg you poor thing. I so hope you find some relief soon, back pain is absolutely horrendous, your whole body suffers

Feeding my baby

Feeding my baby too

@Mytinyman congratulations!

I’m too hot (perimenopausal) and have long term insomnia due to anxiety caused by my job. The anxiety has mainly gone, but the insomnia remains.

I’m about to put the fan on and see if the breeze and white noise helps.

@Hangingtrousers

Toddler is suddenly terrified of his room. He's always slept well so no idea how to handle this .

Hope you get sort op

maybe he had a nightmare about his room or something in it? My DS went through a stage of it and I walked him around his room and showed him everything and how safe it was and how there was nothing bad in there, under his bed, in his wardrobe etc. It worked and he sleeps fine again in his room. hope you get sorted soon x

@JacquelineCarlyle

Hope you're ok Op & all those ill / with ill children are ok too.

I've just had a nightmare that feels like I'm trying to write a horror novel in my sleep - 2nd night in a row having a nightmare & no idea why! Last night's didn't wake me though as it wasn't quite so scary !

Last night I dreamt my intestines burst through my stomach & I was in excruciating pain! Tonight I've dreamt that a person (me, but looked nothing like me!) was being driven crazy in their own home - anytime they went to bed, they'd wake up in the morning wearing different clothes / things moved in their bedroom etc & there no memory of doing it. I woke up petrified when I discovered that there was a secret way into the room via a wardrobe! Even typing this is giving me chills as I'm not describing it very well but I was honestly petrified in the dream.

omg i've got chills just reading that 🥶 hope you find some peace soon, id have all the lights in the house on

freezing my arse off with a thin blanket sitting on a hard plastic chair for the past 7 hours. Irish health system is ridiculous 😂

@Hangingtrousers

Can you try ‘Monster spray’

Google it :)

Sitting in the canteen waiting to start work, I’m not a morning person!

Watching cbeebies Daydreams with DS aged 2.5 who decided he didn't need to sleep past 3am today. Hoping he goes back off and I can get a bit more sleep before work.

Sorry to all who are in pain or suffering from insomnia (I remember it well).

Im awake cause threads like this make me read them

I am in the car, we drove to Germany to see my parents. Will be there in 30 minutes m. Have 2 small DCs so it's easiest to drive at night.

Had second az vaccine and feeling rough.

Deepest sympathys and sorry for typos at this hour 0p. This was me on Wednesday Doc sent ambulance for me that was supposed to pick me up at 2pm. They came just after 3pm and i got home from bloody A&E at 12-45am on Thursday. Spent most of yesterday asleep. Which is probably why I am awàke now . Hope you are ok 💐

Awake for 4th time tonight. I wake up every time I have a hot flush. Strange sensation, starts like a tightness around my chest, front and back then hot crawling sensation. No sweats though.
Stopped HRT 3 months ago, might need to restart ......

Hope you are OK, op.

I am awake because my husband died suddenly last week and I am not sleeping well at all. I fall asleep ok because I am so tired but wake up a couple of hours later an£ cannot get back to sleep, GP has given me sleep tablets but decided not to take them after I read the leaflet

I am sorry Vicki.

Pregnant, uncomfortable, starving.

@LemonLemonLemon I sympathise.

@vickibee I'm so sorry.

I've been awake since 4, usually I wake at 3, i am awake because i have anxiety. Mostly it is work related but there is plenty of other family and general life stuff that worries me.

Also been awake since around 4. Ds is s being bullied at school and I’ve been desperately trying to move him before September but I’ve run out of time so he’s going to have to start the new school year in his current school 🥲
