Awake again!

[NoWeaponsOnTheTable]

Anyone else?!
I had an early night as busy day today...woke at 1.30am.
Wide awake.
I can't get comfortable, I think I have some sort of sciatic pain. Not exactly sore but uncomfortable and annoying.
I've had a cuppa and some toast...what now?
Why are you awake and what are you doing?

Hi @NoWeaponsOnTheTable
I'm sitting up in bed whilst eating some meatballs...my DH
keeps showing me old photos on his phone...it's 7:54 pm on Friday evening here...woo hoo, we live a wild and crazy life😁

Meatballs in bed sounds pretty dangerous to me haha.
I was considering try to go back to bed but I will wake DH.

P.S I'm sorry you are uncomfortable and can't sleep...when I can't get back to sleep in the night I sing songs in my head to myself...works a treat.

We’ve had a fairly busy day too, the baby is teething (we think) so she isn’t really sleeping at the moment. She did tease me earlier and slept for almost 15 minutes, just enough for me to nod off. Luckily no plans tomorrow, so the tiredness won’t matter, so I’m reading/surfing with her on my chest.

Thank you. I normally do breathing exercises but nothing helped this morning so I'm going with it.
Maybe an other cuppa 🤔

I quite liked those nights with baby. It was like secret time just for us. 🥰

I feel for you; you can be so tired and then wham, after just two or three hours you find yourself wide awake. I’m used to it now so I just go on my phone for what can be several hours and then I try to go back to sleep. If I don’t get back to sleep it makes the following day a bit miserable. What has been a life saver for me is being able to take a sleeping tablet very occasionally when I have an important event the following day. I take a mild dose and it works for me. I’m sorry you’re uncomfortable and hope you can get some rest soon!

Woke up at 2am with terrible period pains.

Took Nytol before bed but DP got me the herbal ones and obviously they don't work for me 😑

Me! My sleeping has been terrible for months. Usually I've struggled to get to sleep until after 0230 and up ridiculously early. I fell asleep give last night but woke up at 0245 and just can't get back asleep at all. I'm actually considering getting up abs dressed and going to do my shopping!

Thank you.
This is a fairly regular thing, and I have a similar pattern @NessieMcNessface. I read or scroll.
Usually nod back off for a while around 5ish.
My brain is too active today!

☕ and sympathy to you fellow non-sleepers and thank you for keeping me company.

Sometimes just getting on with something is better than tossing and turning! But its rubbish if you are exhausted.

Same here. Woke up around 2:30 having to go to the toilet and wide awake since. I get it when going through very busy week and seem just struggling to switch off. It maybe too excited about the weekend.

Not sure if staying in bed for longer or just getting is is a better idea

On my 3rd night shift, my hips and my feet hurt.

Night shifts are the pits 😕. Have you long left?

Till 8.15

I‘Ve joined the wide awake club. It’s always expensive for me, as I end up online shopping.

Buy anything nice? 😆
I've dozed a bit on the sofa, now I really need another tea!

Panic brought some items from next clearance site for my sister’s birthday. Had brought her a dress, described as khaki, but it looks more grey than khaki when it arrived. However, delivery date is after sisters birthday - boo hoo! However, hope Next will deliver sooner as it has done on other items.

Little Next tip - if you want free delivery, order something cheap and cheerful to be delivered to a store. They will then offer you free delivery to your house, if you order something within the next thirty minutes.
