The 'awake' club

[SweetsAndChocolates]

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 don't feel well.
Havent for ages, and am living a kind of half life at the moment.
Awake when I I shouldn't be, asleep when its awake time.
Woke up with my heart pounding so loudly it was reverberating through my matress.

@RobertSmithsLipstick has your Doctor checked your blood pressure?

Robert:that sounds rubbish. Incidentally a racing heart was one of the symptoms that got the GP to suspect perimenopause, I'd not even thought of as I was 34 (it was). I hope you get it sorted out soon.

I'm awake because my big cat is a knob. I can't go back to sleep as my covid jab site is very stiff and uncomfortable - even though I had the jab months ago .. I'm due the booster in 2 weeks and now worrying about the top of my arm being permanently wrong.

Could be blood sugar related too if you have wine or sugary drink before bed you can get hard heartbeat/palpitations a few hours later. Hope everyone sleeps soon x

Stubborn 17 month old that's very happy with a cuddle but just won't shut his eyes and sleep!! So tempted to bring him into my bed but the new puppy (that has somehow made her way into our bed even though we said we wouldn't get into that habit!) Will probably start licking him and hype each other up!!

Ohh pass him here! With or without the puppy ☺️ I was stroking DS1s brow a couple of hours ago as he was awake too and I missed being able to scoop him up in my arms. He is 14 and 6 foot though.

I'm having various investigations, though lord knows when they'll be happening now.
Hey ho!
I'll just keep pressing on with my half life.
I'd rather have a knobbish cat, anyday!

My dog just woke me up to be taken out for a poo. She’s recently stopped eating her usual food (raw) so is now just on kibble which makes her poo more. Very annoying. I now can’t get back to sleep.

Morning all, shall I put the kettle on? I have some herbal tea

Awake with my toddler. Still wakes at least once a night, sometimes twice. Bloody knackered.

I'll go for a peppermint thanks x

Chronic insomniac of almost 20 years!

It's especially bad this time of year I've tried ALL sorts so please don't bother with the usual "sleep hygiene" crap! Been there done that numerous times

Currently I get to sleep around 8 AM! Get a few hours wake up eat get a few more hours then awake all night

Earl grey tea for me please no milk (you don't put milk in earl grey why do cafes think you do?!)

It's my due date today and can't sleep due to intense period like cramps.

Not sure if it's labour or just my body winding me up but I'm not bothering my DH, just letting him sleep next to me and see how I feel at a more godly time!

Are you timing them NatMoz how exciting!

I’ve just settled newborn twins only to feel a blocked duct/mastitis coming on. Now dealing with that. Suspect I’m now up for the day. Eyeing up yesterday’s leftover pizza for breakfast.

Morning! The 3am wake up ‘alarm’ went off (in my head) as usual! Wide awake !

No tea for me! I’m going to close my eyes and pretend to myself that I’m asleep...

21 weeks pregnant... can't get comfortable 😩 I'm a terrible sleeper anyway but second trimester insomnia is something else. OH fast asleep at side of me and dogs asleep in kitchen so I don't want to disturb anyone but I'm desperate to get up and rattle around

I'd like some toast, really, but have no bread.

Job interview tomorrow for a teaching role I really want...lesson planned, resources prepped...just need to get a good night’s sleep and then get on with it but nope, have been awake since 2.30am...

Booster side effects here. I sleep on my left and my left arm is killing at the injection site, plus headache, sore throat, bit of a temperature.

Also my 95 year old gran is in a covid ward (for a uti, but asymptomatically had covid when needing treatment, has been put on oxygen so bit worrying)

My core group of students submit their essays at noon today which is on my mind. Especially as I have been good and not checked my work email since Saturday morning.

As is one last week of teaching face to face with the new variant, and uni holding graduation for 1,500 students plus guests this week. Which I can understand is hard to cancel, but also feels fantastically stupid.

Anybody got any music to suggest?
I've just been listening to:

I have no reason for being awake. I have work tomorrow (from my sofa), and, as a responsible adult, ought to have gone to bed about 5 hours ago. However, Laphroaig called my name.

Insomniac, but I know for a fact, that tonight its because my DP has given me his cold, and I slept from 6pm to 1am, it laid him out last week as well. Now its my turn.

I am just going to sleep as and when, but I have an appointment tomorrow, which I have to attend, so I am worried if I dont sleep through, I am going to miss that

Trying to book my booster as I woke up for no good reason. I've been stuck in a loop on the website for an hour. I'd love to go to sleep, but the white screen has securely woken me up now.

Yup wide awake here. 5.5 hours into a night shift at a supermarket and on my break. Another 4.5 hours to go.

Music suggestion.
