Anyone fancy a why are you awake thread?

[garlictwist]

I have awful toothache. I had an extraction on Thursday and the pain is just getting worse. It's going to be a long weekend until I can see the dentist.

I've taken so many pain killers I can't take any more so just got to ride it out.

How about you?

Dp was going out for a few drinks and was supposed to be up with the baby tomorrow, so I stayed up to get some coursework done. He's still not back, I'm still full of caffeine and extremely peed off waiting to be woken up. Especially as I know he'll be written off tomorrow when he was supposed to be looking after her whilst I do work.

I'm in agony with pelvic pain at 33 weeks pregnant. Feels like my lower back and hip are going to split every time I move and I can barely walk.

I work with incompetent people which meant I had to work extra tonight (office job) 10pm till 3am to fix some fuckups

Nursing my 7 day old DD....😴

I'm supposed to be going to my parents to give my brother a day off caring. I need to fill the car but according to Facebook all the local filling stations are out of diesel.

DH has been out, and is now snoring, loudly 🙄

I've gone away for the weekend with some of DH'S friends for a wedding. Two of them have been downstairs furiously, and loudly, arguing about whether or not it is immoral to not vote since 1am.

Covid plus peri menopause

I’m with the mums. DS normally wakes around now but he hasn’t woken up and not sure if he will. I’ve been awake an hour and he’s EBF so my breasts are a little engorged waiting for him. I’m so annoyed I’m not sleeping and making the most of it.

Son with ASD has only just settled in bed.

My friend has a new kitten and I went back to her house after a night out and we are still up playing with her and drinking wine 😂

Haven't been able to sleep for the last couple of nights since a giant house spider crawled on my face while in bed two nights ago. I'm a huge arachnophobe.

I'm overtired as just getting used to this full time working thing and 2 of the kids have been having nightmares this past week, also have an occasion tomorrow and have realised one son doesn't have any clothes suitable so just sweating small stuff really

@garlictwist have you tried clove oil? It worked wonders for me after I had an extraction a few years ago. Hope you're ok

I'm awake because of insomnia.. again. Every &£#@ night at this time. I'm wondering if it's depression caused by overthinking my relationship worries.

@averywittyusername and others struggling with sleeping.. have you tried magnesium 20 mins before bed ? Works like a dream excuse the pun but not like a sleeping tablet so no grogginess - also really helps feeling low. I've been using it for three years and it has been life changing for sleep and mood .
Awake with dog who has poorly tum.

That is truly the stuff of nightmares! But did make me chuckle for some dubious reason..

@doubleshotcappuccino thank you, I will definitely try that! Hope your poor dog is feeling better.

Another one with a snoring husband 😴

It's too early to sleep here yet, but last night it was a @#$&*'ing painful leg that would not leave me alone. Took two hours for paracetamol to work, but I guess it could be worse.

I hope your dog's poorly tum improves! That's so hard. You don't know what's wrong but want to help.

DH and I have been out-out and only got home about half an hour ago. Now sitting on the sofa eating pizza and drinking pints of water in an attempt to rehydrate before bed.

We're so rock n roll nowadays!

Just back in bed after nursing DD. Now I’m wide awake.

Poorly baby was up at 2.30 and now I'm not that tired.

I'm just... still awake. And my brain is going a hundred miles an hour plotting stuff which is very exciting but also even by my standards this is late

Veggysaurus you have all my sympathy. Can recommend the red Raid spray - makes me sad to do it but does the trick and kills them fast. I can't spray it as repellent because I have cats but my mum swears by it in all the corners so the spiders don't come in.

DD2 is on stomach bug number 3 for the 3rd weekend in a row. Bloody nursery bugs 🤢
