4.30 here with snotty coughing toddler and the period from hell. She's watching Moon and Me while I pinch myself awake.

I woke at 6am (7am old time) DS who is normally up between 5:30 & 6:30 is still asleep he has been unwell last 3 days and we've had very little sleep so looks like today is catch up day. Never works in my favour so very happy this morning!

I always get anxiety leading up to this clock change from when dd3 was 1 and never adjusted so I was up at 3.45 for 6 months....she's four now and it's never happened since but I think I'm just traumatised from it and still half expect her to stop sleeping again Grin

Can't complain this time round though as they made it to 5.30...happy with that!

Threewheeler1 · 31/10/2021 06:29

Yep. 4.30 so 3.30 new time. Knew it was going to happen, always get really messed up by the changes.
Have been sat here in the kitchen on the laptop drinking coffee for 2 hours. My bum is now moulded around the chair and I haven't used my legs for a while so I suspect they've gone a bit completely dead cos I've been sitting on them numb Grin
Rain is battering the windows & the general dark & gloom isn't raising my hopes for it being an energetic day Grin

I'm away in Derbyshire Dogs came up to let me know they needed to go out just before 6am new time. I've been down to the village green in my pyjamas and waterproof coat. It was pitch black and a bit creepy! No one else mad enough to be out at that time. Back in bed with coffee now.

@BertiesShoes it’s windy here, but I don’t think it’s so bad that it’ll affect flights.

@QueenOfThorns

Thanks, that’s what I was hoping.

My child also started randomly waking at 5 last week....so this morning was 4am.

She's dropped naps to so was going for better nights but so far they've been worse than ever 😭

It's going to be a looooooooooong day

MrsLargeEmbodied · 31/10/2021 06:47

d dog woke me, i managed to ignore her until what i thought was 7, it was 6! Sad

sanityisamyth · 31/10/2021 07:09

I always wake up at 1am but got really confused which 1am it was! I've been awake since and working in less than an hour. Shattered doesn't cover it ...

Tumbleweed101 · 31/10/2021 07:09

Only my own body clock to deal with these days but still remember all those years of early rising children and clock changes!

TrufflyPig · 31/10/2021 07:22

Might start an AIBU:

Is a fourth cup of coffee reasonable or not?!

cricketmum84 · 31/10/2021 07:24

I woke at 5.10 on the dot. Alarm usually goes off at 6.10 so my body clock is all out of sync now!

Managed to fall asleep but then was woken up by a blood Turkish Air Force globemaster flying over the house!

I've ended up painting pumpkins with nearly 2&3 year old toddlers and drew a car on a cardboard box 😂😂 (not like they don't have 50276294826394 cars already)
Anything to get fucking bing off the tv!

Not long to bedtime now people Brew

@TrufflyPig

It's always bad times when you are awake before CBeebies 😂
Although Sky hadn't updated their time so cartoons started at 5am. Helped with a 4.30 awake 2.5 year old!

Made a massive error here cooking dinner for the 'new time'. Two crying children. You know the saying a watched pot never boils... It really doesn't. Cook, you spuds!!!

NumberZ · 01/11/2021 05:49

5:15 this morning 🙈

pregnantorkebab · 01/11/2021 06:02

DS (6 mo) slept for the extra hour on Saturday night, but has woken up an hour early today instead (5:30 am)...doh 😴😴

My oldest decided 2am was a brilliant time to get up...
No mate!... no it's not!
