Same here!

ProclivityForPyrotechnics · 04/06/2022 03:14

Me.. I'm tempted to get up. I'm just sad. It's a bit pathetic really! I'm tired but my mind isn't w wanting to sleep at all.

checkedcloth · 04/06/2022 03:15

I am having a good time. So peaceful

Me. My two year old has chicken pox and can’t settle 😢

everyonebutme · 04/06/2022 03:19

@ProclivityForPyrotechnics why are you sad? I've been awake since 2 am and decided to get up in the end. Just worried I'm going to be so tired later in the day.

Me! I'm used to sleepless nights with a baby, but she's actually fast asleep! We're going on holiday later, it's going to take two days to get there (we're breaking the journey up with a hotel tonight) and I'm dreading the journey with a 9 month old, even more now it's going to be on a sleepless night 😢

coffeecupsandfairylights · 04/06/2022 03:33

Me!

My dog has given himself limber tail and he can't settle 😞 I've had about half an hour of sleep and I'm exhausted 😭

Jeyd1993 · 04/06/2022 03:40

Me! I just well at 1.20am caught my daughter watching yet more depressing suicidal stuff on YouTube !!! She's 10!!! Not even supposed to be up. Or have her tablet. At my wits end!! Don't know what else I can do for her to help

CormoranStrike · 04/06/2022 03:45

Morning all

Remainiac · 04/06/2022 03:46

Me. Menopausal sleep pattern plus too much fizz at the jubilee street party bbq…

I’m so sorry. Been there, and it’s a horrible situation to be in, isn’t it?

ProclivityForPyrotechnics · 04/06/2022 03:49

I'm just having a pity party! We started ttc our third (first live pregnancy was twins) and I lost a fuck ton of weight and then it just kept going, went to the dr who congratulated me on losing weight even though I felt like rubbish. Fast forward a few months and I've been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and my periods have stopped so I need either to have it removed or radioactive iodine, so I need to spend time away from my children as I'll be radioactive! Plus I don't feel like im the woman my DH married.

Whinge fest here!

However they told me on Wednesday that our miscarriages are likely to have been caused by my thyroid!

Neu · 04/06/2022 03:51

Me. No animals or children to blame. Just woke up!

autienotnaughty · 04/06/2022 03:58

I am! I know your suppose to get up rather than lay in bed but I don't like getting out of bed in the night so I always get my phone out! I use to sleep fantastic until about five years ago. Now I have no issues getting off but if I wake in the night it takes around 2 hours to get back to sleep😩 sleep is particularly bad at the minute as I'm out of routine with the jubilee, lots of social stuff happening which I find stressful.

Jeyd1993 · 04/06/2022 03:58

Yes super horrible. I don't know how to help her. I just posted a thread about it all!! I'm at a loss as to how to best help

InMySpareTime · 04/06/2022 04:11

Another for the Wide Awake Club, woke up at 3 for no reason at all, gave up trying to go back to sleep at 3.45. Might have a cuppa soon but for now I'm enjoying how light it is in the garden already.

CandyLeBonBon · 04/06/2022 04:39

Yep. Partner is snoring, I'm too hot and can't go anywhere as my mum is visiting and sleeping on the sofa bed so I've got no means of escape!

Ardmano · 04/06/2022 04:45

Too hot. Loud birds outside the open window. Sinus infection making me breathe through my mouth and completely dry out and 8 months pregnant with a breech baby that I'm worried won't turn... ☹️

Satsumaonaplate · 04/06/2022 04:47

Me, I have food poisoning and a 5 week old baby, disaster

EducatingArti · 04/06/2022 04:50

Awake here too. Not sure why. I have had some sleep so should probably get up but it seems so early.

Roselilly36 · 04/06/2022 05:07

Me too, woke up at 1:30am couldn’t switch my whirring brain off, so eventually gave up, made a cuppa and sitting in the lounge. Menopausal also have MS, that messes with my sleep too.

Roselilly36 · 04/06/2022 05:08

@Satsumaonaplate you poor thing, hope you are better soon,

Tofu35 · 04/06/2022 05:12

Me! Woke up at 430 and can't get back to sleep. In the first trimester so woke up to rush to the toilet in case I was sick. Who knows if I'll fall back asleep now.

LadyFlumpalot · 04/06/2022 05:36

Yup. On my second night of no sleep. I was hoping I'd sleep ok tonight as I was so tired yesterday, but I think I'd passed the point of tiredness and gone into wired by the time bed time came round.

Also, DH has a cold so is snoring fit to raise the dead so I've decamped to the lounge and sofa, only, Dcat (house cat) has taken a massive shite in her litter tray so I've had to sort that out and crack the window, which means the stupid pigeons are yelling at me. Also Dcat is randomly shouting at me every five minutes because I won't let her out the living room to wake the rest of the household up.

Oh, and I've got ear ache.

CuriousMama · 04/06/2022 05:43

Me too.

I'm going to try my trick of trying to name things beginning with.... And see if that works as usually does. So if it's films then A is As good as it get, Alien, About a boy.....and so on. Once I exhaust A then move to be. It can be anything though.
I'll report back hopefully at normal O'Clock? Good luck everyone 🤞💤😴🛌🥱
