We attened a family wedding last night and stayed in hotel, my autistic daughter 4 and half woke at 2 and as i also have 2and half year old , my husband is with younger daughter and i took older daughter downstairs as she is very vocal (non verbal and learning disability) and man on desk allowed us in conference room with kids dvds and beanbags, she is being very loud right now , just feeling bit fed up that we cant just have a "typical" hotel experience and also super tired as hasnt slept yet as when went sleep around 11 , been struggling due to anxiety 😴 😩

Can you ask the front desk to make you some decaf coffee/ hot chocolate or something to keep you going until you crawl back in to bed? I am sure the kitchen will be open in some form as its so close to breakfast service. So great the hotel could accommodate you and your daughter in the conference room; although I feel for you with the early waking! I made myself get up at 3am (took until 4am until I was functional) as I have some work deadlines this morning :( - I'd far prefer to be with my daughter, even if it was because she woke me up early!

@amazeandastonish

I'm awake. perimenopausal and dog wanted out.

Do you have anything to help your DD sleep?

Not really we have weighted blanket, she goes ot every other week, suppose to be sunday morning but was on holiday, which helps that day, its usually 4 hour blocks but can wake up at 4 and not go back to sleep , so thinking today yis 4 hour block and she will have few hours before breakfast

@MissM94

Me 🙋🏼‍♀️ been awake all night, not had a single shred of sleep from being in bed since 10pm last night, got my 12 week scan tomorrow so don't know if it's anxiety about that or what.. it's been a long time since I've not been able to sleep! So I've been shamelessly scrolling Mumsnet for a longer time than I'd like to admit to 😂 hopefully you can get yourself some more sleep at 6!
I've been up all night too for similar reasons. It's our 20 week scan. Wishing you the best of luck.
