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😁)?

My mother said her Pfizer reaction was a 24 hour thing so I've got my fingers crossed. Dd had her 2nd jab yesterday too. Hopefully she feels better than me and can go to school.

Bridget that would have scared the crap out of me. How frustrating when you were settling back down.

I had the Moderna . I wasn't too great with the first Oxford .

I am trying to get comfortable but for some reason I can't find a comfortable position to fall asleep in. Nothing working. I will have to invent my own pillow or sleep device at this rate.

Bloody hamsters. Woke up at 1, now too knackered to shut the doors so I can’t hear them running on their wheels as much.

I'm wide awake and shattered.
I'm in a guest house and the nouse from the ensuite extrac6wont switch off. It keeps altering its pitch and tempo.
I'm really grumpy and getting angry now. I was in bed for 10pm for an early start.

I was woken up a while ago by an earthquake, the house was shaking and seemed to go on for ages 😳 I fucking nearly shit myself. 6.6 magnitude apparently Shock

Img are you okay? Where are you?
batmanladybird · 11/01/2022 02:03

Ugh. I feel so dreadful

grooveonthemove · 11/01/2022 02:08

In Cyprus, don't think there's any damage but bloody hell it was scary!

Lovemusic33 · 11/01/2022 02:31

I’m awake, dd woke me up at 1am with a bad stomach, I’m a emetophobe so a, freaking out, she’s been to the loo several times, said she felt sick but I thinks she’s now asleep whilst I’m wide awake. She has Autism and is constantly eating things she shouldn’t and has had food poisoning so many times, I am now contemplating contacting the GP and asking for a referral to CAMHS to get help (if that’s even possible).

I have had to go back on steroids, they’re known for not allowing you to sleep!

lunalovegreat · 11/01/2022 03:47

@Gilead I'm on steroids too. Not a chance of sleeping here!

Gilead · 11/01/2022 05:39

@lunalovegreat you have my sympathy! It’s a love hate thing, I’ve gone from a 12 to a 22 and no sleep but I literally cannot walk without them!

Windmakerfarm · 21/01/2022 03:31

Anyone else awake? I've woken up with a stomach ache and not feeling great. Think I may have eaten something dodgy

dumphies21 · 28/01/2022 03:01

Feeling very sad tonight, tomorrow is 8 weeks since DP died and I am still devastated

BigUpAllOfUshereOnMN · 29/01/2022 03:59

@dumphies21 I'm so sorry for your loss Thanks

I'm awake thinking about work. The stress of it has woken me up

YouHaveMail · 16/02/2022 00:19

Hope everyone has been doing much better sleep wise Grin

SweetsAndChocolates · 23/02/2022 00:47

Another long night...am very tired, have a headache but for some reason once again avoiding sleep (what is wrong with me Blush)

Anyone else watching the hours go by?

OP posts:
SweetsAndChocolates · 21/11/2022 01:23

Once again, still struggling to get to sleep 😕

Really need to switch off...have been lying in the dark (for what feels like an eternity!), but given up now 😩

Anyone else in the same boat?
