That's it really. I'm awake even though I should be asleep. I'm tired but like this quiet time to do stuff.
I don't hate sleep, but can easily avoid going to bed Hmm

So anyone else up for no reason whatsoever?

Got a bad cold swollen glands and sore sinuses so feeling crap Aswell as knackered.

It's not my bedtime yet. Classic night owl here, but I'll be heading up soon as I've work tomorrow. Which is a pain as I'd happily potter about for a couple of hours.

Me 👋 I have a 5 month old baby that has brought my insomnia back. We've been having sleepless nights for the last couple of weeks. She's been asleep since 10;30 but I can't sleep. Bet she'll be up soon as I start dozing off 🙄

soupforbrains · 16/11/2021 01:09

I’m awake.

I too have no reason to be awake. I LOVE sleep, and I’m a bit tired. But my son is a teen and doesn’t go to bed until later now so that quiet time I used to have between his bedtime and mine has disappeared. I compensate by staying up late to pootle about the house doing nothing much at all.

Feeding my daughter.
Having a disturbed night anyway with a cough from sinus draining, just can't particularly get comfortable.

SweetsAndChocolates · 16/11/2021 01:10

@wtfisgoingonhere21 ahh bugger, hope you feel better soon Smile

Glad to see I'm not the only one 😬

I'm awake as we found mice in the loft and set the humane traps but when they get in one they're so noisy and we can't get them as we'll wake the little one (child not mouse)

MistySkiesAfterRain · 16/11/2021 01:11

I'm not really tired but need to sleep as my bedtime is creeping later.

Just been staring at my phone for over an hour now.

I have to get up really early as well.

wtfisgoingonhere21 · 16/11/2021 01:12

Had insomnia on and off for years but the last 18 months it's been a lot worse with the c word wreaking havoc on everyone

Somebodylikeyew · 16/11/2021 01:13

I’m not well. Lost my voice a few days ago and have been feeling a bit breathless and wheezy, then woke up about an hour ago with my throat closed, properly gasping for breath. It has scared the crap out of me! Have just had a hot drink and some ibuprofen to try and take the swollen feeling down and assessing whether or not to wake DH.

SweetsAndChocolates · 16/11/2021 01:14

@mishmased that's exactly how it works 😏 hope you get a few zzzzs before she wakes

@soupforbrains I think this is part of my problem too. Dc sleep later, so my time has to move along too...

I've also been starring at my phone for way too long, as I don't actually have anything to do or reason to be awake

I'm awake. My 6 week old DD is currently lying on me asleep and I'm watching TV. It's blissful.

Definitely wake DH, and hope you get better swiftly Smile

My DD is awake and won't go back to sleep! Shes 18 months and usually a good sleeper, not sure what's going on with her tonight.

iamio · 16/11/2021 01:17

I am awake, my gallbladder is really sore tonight! Has had issues on and off for a few months!

PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears · 16/11/2021 01:17

Fucking TikTok! It's so bloody addictive. I've been in bed for three hours just scrolling. I get a new interesting video every 60 seconds and I can't twitch off!

Got to leave phone downstairs I think.

Danikm151 · 16/11/2021 01:18

Fell asleep on the sofa as usual and had the mad dash to get bags ready for work and nursery in the morning 🤣

TaraR2020 · 16/11/2021 01:19

Another night owl here.

I've had a day off and done sod all. It was bliss, but now I'm bored.

I'm also just-a-little-bit hungry.

Take some antihistamine as well to reduce the inflammation. Are you asthmatic? Wake up DH. It's very difficult to make objective decisions when you're poorly yourself, especially with asthma, I find. My decision maki g goes out the window when my O2 levels are low. I hope you feel better soon.

Hairyfriend · 16/11/2021 01:22

I have a pup and DH and I have been tag teaming the night duty. I'm hoping to head to bed shortly though. He will likely be up within the hour of any crying from the crate.

whatisthisinhere · 16/11/2021 01:22

I'm awake and worrying about things that I can't change. I just ave to get with dealing with it all, but it makes me feel overwhelmed Blush

TaraR2020 · 16/11/2021 01:24

Gosh, yes, @Somebodylikeyew I didn't see your post and agree with @PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears.
