I wish I was asleep still. But dh is snoring away and it's impossible. Went to bed at ? o'clock, got woken up several times by shouting teens wandering up and down the street. Then I had some nightmares about shouting teens and collapsing houses and then my arthritis pain kicked in too much. So I gave up on it all.

How did your attempt at sleeping go?

Woke at 3am . Got up at 4. Have had 5 cups of tea and toast.

Slept for an hour and woke up again, stumbled downstairs at dear God o' clock to get a break from trying to sleep, found my dad doing the same thing. Insomnia is genetic, it seems…

Happy new year!

Ha Happy New Year !
I've also given up due to a snoring husband.
I got to bed about 1:30pm after ha hung family round for the afternoon.
Also woke by fireworks and had some strange dreams.
We're going out local for lunch but apart from that no big plans.
Our house is very tidy from having family round yesterday so that feels a good start.
My husband and 2 younger children are all sleeping so I'm enjoying a coffee in peace:
Hope you have a good day. Smile

justwondering21 · 01/01/2022 07:36

1:30am 🤦‍♀️

Happy New Year!
Bed at 1ish. Fireworks still going. Heard a crash happen on the main road so then sirens started after a while. Finally got to sleep around 3 and then the cats started scratching my bedroom door about 6. Fed them and back in bed but due to drinking alcohol last night, I've got bloody awful acid reflux so currently hoping for sleep while fidgeting, chewing Rennies and being tortured by a cat.

I went to bed about three and now can't sleep. Feel very tired but going to accompany some friends swimming in the lake this morning (too cold and masachistic for me) so will get up in a minute and try and feel normal.

devildeepbluesea · 01/01/2022 07:37

Covid booster on Thursday = felt like crap yesterday, first NYE home and sober for ages. Slept like a baby, save for 20 mins of bangs at midnight.
Now feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed (except for my throbbing bloody arm).

crankysaurus · 01/01/2022 07:38

Also woken by DHs snoring! I think I'll be practicing my napping today.

GoodnightGrandma · 01/01/2022 07:39

Went to bed at 10pm. Woke at midnight by the fireworks, why do they have to go on so long 😡
Then awake for the day at 5.30 due to a combination of alcohol and peri menopause 😩

itsutterlyshit · 01/01/2022 07:39

I'm just going to bed...... sadly not because I was up all night drinking and partying.
I was working it was chaos I hate people need to do it all again tonight so should really be sleeping but I can't drop off.

FourTeaFallOut · 01/01/2022 07:40

Went to bed at half one. The youngest kept having nightmares and I had to go and reassure him twice. I've been up an hour because I couldn't get to sleep after the last one. We have a house full of guests so I'm stuck here until a more sociable time.

Bloodybridget · 01/01/2022 07:42

I think I went to sleep about 12.30, was awake again at 3, slept a bit more, got up at 5.30 and had breakfast, emptied the dishwasher, did some of a jigsaw, now back in bed aiming for more sleep - but it might not happen. Happy New Year!

COL1N · 01/01/2022 07:42

Morning all, so hungover! Day 1 of Dry January today 🙂

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/01/2022 07:42

I'm very tempted to join you all in getting up for a coffee, but it will wake up dh and then there will be two tired people and I'd have to make him one as well. But I could then have a tidy house like you justwondering dilemmas!

We are going out for a walk later, hopefully before it gets dark again.

A normal night's sleep for me would see me turning the light out about 11.20pm and waking just before 5am.
I got to bed at 1.15am this morning and thought I would sleep later. Nope, there I was, wide awake at 4.45am. It's going to be a loooooong day!

BetterthanIthink · 01/01/2022 07:43

Awake at 6am for work . Here while 6pm

GoodnightGrandma · 01/01/2022 07:44

I’m clearing the fridge out today !
All the cheese that’s been hardly touched for a week is going. New year clean fridge !

I've been feeling quite unwell for a few days with really bad fatigue.

Ds (17) said he wanted to stay up for midnight and fireworks. We were watching last leg of new year and I laid on floor and fell asleep!

Woke at 00.16! Have no idea if he tried to wake me up Blush or if he stayed up!

I woke again at 6.30am feeling much better and he's still asleep.

I'll ask him and apologise when he wakes up Smile

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/01/2022 07:47

I'm attempted to empty the fridge of cheese last night GoodnightGrandma - into my tummy. Might explain my awful dreams.

Not at 6.30! I got up, drank a large bottle of water and went to bed!

Penny31 · 01/01/2022 07:49

Bed at 12.30am for me and the kids woke me up at 6.30. Not too bad, but I feel so tired. I want to be productive today, decorations away, big clean and fresh air for the kids. Not sure I’ve got it in me though!

KatherineJaneway · 01/01/2022 07:54

Went to bed about 11:30pm and woke up just after 4pm. Couldn't go back to sleep.
