Supposed to be going to sleep, but as per usual am wasting time, for some reason unbeknown reason to, I like to avoid sleep 🙄

Anyone else awake (and why😁)?

I'm in pain.

I went to a gig last night, which was amazing (and 2 years late) but I am suffering for it today, and none of my meds are working so I'm sitting up watching the LOTR trilogy 🤣

minipie · 13/12/2021 01:01

I’m like you Sweets. Daft isn’t it.

AntiHop · 13/12/2021 01:04

Teething baby! How I long to go to bed.

WhereIsMyGlasses · 13/12/2021 01:07

I'm awake, tired and wish I could sleep but it's not happening, again!

alienbaby · 13/12/2021 01:08

I am suffering from booster side effects! I have to be up in 5 hours :(

Soyouthought · 13/12/2021 01:10

I was asleep then thought I heard the door but no, apparently just my own brain kicking me to get up as I had slept a whole hour.

SweetsAndChocolates · 13/12/2021 01:15

@ABCeasyasdohrayme ouch but at least you enjoyed it 😊

@minipie I know, it's ridiculous as I'll spend the usual waking hours telling myself how I'll go to sleep earlier 😂

Really bad headache

2WeeksTillChristmas · 13/12/2021 01:16

Laying awake - Having side effects from a new heart pill iv started and hoping and praying that i get to spend Christmas with my family

floatinginmyhomie · 13/12/2021 01:17

I’m awake with my 1 month old, he doesn’t seem to be going to sleep any time soon so we’ve come into our living room and put the record player on. Hopefully that sends him sleepy!

itsutterlyshit · 13/12/2021 01:17

I'm in my last nightshift and only got 2 hours sleep today. I'm struggling to stay awake despite 4 coffees 😩
Everyone is irritating me tonight, even their breathing is annoying me 🤣

SweetsAndChocolates · 13/12/2021 01:17

@AntiHop oh no, my dc are a little older now, but you have my sympathies

@WhereIsMyGlasses hope you do manage to get some rest

@alienbaby that doesn't sound nice, did you feel similar with previous shots?

MrsTimRiggins · 13/12/2021 01:19

Awake with my five week old. I cannot complain tho, he went to bed at half 8, and was barely snuffling when I woke up just now. I was suspicious 😂

vodkaredbullgirl · 13/12/2021 01:19

Night shift here.

SweetsAndChocolates · 13/12/2021 01:21

@2WeeksTillChristmas hope the side effects aren't too bad, and hopefully you'll have a wonderful time with your family 😊

@SweetsAndChocolates

Thank you 🎅🏻🎄

Flying back to the UK tomorrow for Christmas and I've got a million things to do/think about before I get to that point where it's all done and I'm on that plane. My brain is completely wired and I have to be up in 2 hours.

Can't wait to see my family again after so long apart but it's going to be a long couple of days!

Bloodybridget · 13/12/2021 01:54

I slept from about 11 until 1am. I'm always awake for part of the night; I'll turn the light out soon. Have to be up at 6 so hope to sleep until then!

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 13/12/2021 02:00

I've marked 22 essays since 9pm.
I was going to do them earlier but ds2 was up for insulating the loft with me.

WhatTimeIsItMrGinola · 13/12/2021 02:00

Pain in my right side under breastbone, probably acid reflux but scary myself silly googling it so now can't sleep ConfusedGrin

Trumpton · 13/12/2021 02:08

I was woken by cramp in my calf. I have managed to get it to stop but it keeps seizing again. I have had a walk around and some water and am warming it on a hot water bottle but it doesn’t feel safe yet!

NotSure94 · 13/12/2021 02:11

My sleep is crap. Or rather I can sleep for a week when I need to be awake. But here we are. Also it's my birthday. I'd like to say it's giddy excitement keeping me up but nope. Just another day. Still here so winning in some respects! Grin

Fallagain · 13/12/2021 02:19

Snotty toddler. I’m worries she will develop a cough and I have lots to do tomorrow.

bloodywhitecat · 13/12/2021 02:36

Toddler just woke up with asthma. Sorted him out now missing DH so so much. Hoping we get news today that they will discharge him so we can have this Christmas together.

repottingthescabious · 13/12/2021 02:41

Insomnia 12 years now
Tonight i have had a sinus headache all day because i stupidly had milk yesterday that was in one of recipe ingredients.
Bruxism
The dental work i had done is still not right (cracked 2 more teeth in my sleep). Talk about uneasy lies the crown...
