Why are you awake at this time?

I'm awake because I stupidly let myself get dehydrated today and I've been sick as a dog all evening.

No excuses, I've lived in much hotter countries in the past so I know the risks and how much to drink.

Stay hydrated, everyone!

Watching some police show…
No idea why!

PeloAddict · 14/07/2022 01:29

Hot and insomnia as usual. I'm a night owl, which doesn't fit with being up at 7am for work! So I'm a permanently exhausted pigeon

CelluliteAndSparkles · 14/07/2022 01:30

Sheer anxiety.

YungDumbThrills · 14/07/2022 01:31

Consumed with thinking about my ex 😢

BorderlineBob · 14/07/2022 01:32

Feeding my newborn.

Hope you feel better by the morning!

I have a child hanging off my breast for the 50,000th time today. I'm feeling like a dairy cow in this weather and I'm pretty sure there can't be many more episodes of Police Interceptors for me to watch at this point!

Anxiety, heat and insomnia. 😫

I'm the same.

Anxiety about going back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off knowing that I’ll prob hate it.

LadyFlumpalot · 14/07/2022 01:41

Covid, windy pain and gotten myself scared watching Stranger Things! 🤣

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 14/07/2022 01:42

Sat in a new to me house drinking coffee. Waiting until the bin men collect the bin so I can go home.
might end up sleeping on the floor for a few hours as this camping chair isn’t conducive to sleep.
have discovered neighbours have put a camera outside our bedroom window looking in…

CornishTiger · 14/07/2022 01:43

Just in to hotel room after clubbing with some work colleagues. I never do this!

:( I used to watch really trashy shows just to take my mind off it.

Thanks! It got pretty bad but I've bounced back now at nearly 2 am.

Banging headache which I'm probably making worse by being on my phone. Only just got the baby to bed and I'm sure I can hear my toddler moving around too 😣.

I should be enjoying the bed to myself as my DP is on nights, but I think I'll probably be awake most of the night.

Flidina · 14/07/2022 01:48

On holiday, but didn't drink enough to knock me out lol, not normally a drinker, so a small amount just tends to keep me awake! I will do better next time😊.

ItsAllInMyHeadImFuckingUpAgain · 14/07/2022 01:48

Hope you feel better soon Op. 💕

I started a Netflix documentary at midnight and it was over 90mins long. Ouch. Was good but sad. Think it's called The girl in the picture? Lots of twists but they solved her case in the end.

Fe345fleur · 14/07/2022 01:58

I'm feeding my baby too. Hope everyone manages to get some sleep and you are feeling better soon OP 🙂

Twobigsapphires · 14/07/2022 02:00

Cant sleep due to painful health condition, plus ds just woke me up crashing in from a night out! Bloody teenagers.

Misshatter · 14/07/2022 02:01

Sat on a not very comfy hospital chair, waiting for 8am ish so DS can see the crisis team.

MrsKippling · 14/07/2022 02:07

Because I had a huge spider in my bed last night and I'm on edge, unable to relax and overthinking!

MrsKippling · 14/07/2022 02:09

@Misshatter I hope you and your son are both OK and get the right support 💐

TheMumLife3 · 14/07/2022 02:30

My little 2yr old girl is in a critical condition on life support in a hospital 3hrs away from home. I'm thankful I have hospital accommodation but it's a 10 minute walk from the hospital and that's 10 minutes too much. I'm counting down the minutes so I can go back to her.

Provenceinthesummer · 14/07/2022 02:30

In France in the heatwave and it’s too hot to sleep! Worrying about dd as I am pretty sure she has covid again even though she had it 3 weeks ago. I know that doesn’t sound possible but I am 100% sure, I may need to find some tests in the morning. Someone had covid around the pool and helpfully coughed for hours near everyone else 🤨
Hope everyone that is in hospital or with sunstroke/covid feels better soon. 💐Wishing we were at home at the moment.

Oh my goodness. I have no words. That sounds
horrendous. You are in my prayers and I hope she pulls through 🙏🏻 What happened to her?
