Awake

In a really expensive holiday house.
Being attacked by a mosquito whilst laying next to a peacefully sleeping DS.
DH is snoring like a mother f**ker in "our" room across the hall.

Why are you awake?

🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟😴😴😴

Insomnia. I'm exhausted, I have work in the morning, a baby who will wake me at 6am. And yet here I am wide awake on MN. I tried wine, that didn't help. I was out in the fresh air for 4 hours this evening and nothing.

A hot baby, it's 24 degrees in her room she doesn't like the fan, wants to feed to sleep but has fed solid for last 3 hours and has o
No room left. H is in bed pretending he doesn't hear her..
(Also got her 1 year old jabs last week and is still a bit miserable with them)

Because Covid has wrecked my ability to sleep. Sometimes I'm struggling to stay awake and coherent in the middle of the day, sometimes I'm struggling to go to sleep at night. And the two do not correlate. At least the time my body decides to wake up has moved from 4am to 5am. Usually.

Finished work at midnight, ate a bit because I was hungry. Caught a mouse in my house last night so worrying about there possibly being more. Traps set (humane). DH is on the PS in our room and it's sooo warm I'm sweaty and uncomfortable and won't be able to sleep 😐

JasmineVioletRose · 09/08/2022 00:58

Also really hot 🥵
Thinking i'll put my earplugs in to drown out the snory fucker. Then I also won't hear the bitey fuckers buzzing me 🙌😭😢🦟💤

I went to the movies and only got home 30 minutes ago. So decided to watch TV till I pass out

Too warm to sleep and too much going round in my head. And I'm hungry but too idle to go and get a snack!

JasmineVioletRose · 09/08/2022 01:10

I can still hear him snoring through the earplugs. I think I'm going to have to LTB

The one thing worse than being in bed with a snorer is being within earshot of him but too far away to poke him in the ribs.

In a taxi on the way home from the airport after a massive delay. Should all be tucked up in bed but still 20 minutes from home, kids tired and cranky, dh in the huff because ds bashed him on the leg with the luggage trolley. I'm doing fake calm when I really want to scream. I've had enough of my family after 2 weeks on holiday.

Smileatthesmallthings · 09/08/2022 01:45

Just awake. No real reason. Fell asleep for half an hour when putting ds to bed and think that just screwed my brain up enough to be awake. Family staying over so everyone is sleeping in unusual places (DS in with me so I'm having to be very still and quiet) so I can't even go downstairs and make a cuppa and start again.

byrons · 09/08/2022 02:27

Dc with family. Fell down a MN rabbit hole!
Oh and have a lie in tomorrow SmileGrin

ShittyCar · 09/08/2022 03:33

Cos my dh is an alcoholic dick. Have to be up for work in 3 hours. Joy.

veiledsentiments · 09/08/2022 03:40

It’s hot where I live. And extremely prone to earthquakes. The dog, who usually just lies down and goes to sleep has been pacing round the room a lot. And he’s big, and very panty. I let him out, gave him water, and made myself a cup of tea. The bugger has finally stopped pacing, but I am now awake. Will try a few more hours sleep in a mo.

Feeding six week old...

I'm a teacher on summer holiday. I've become almost nocturnal. I'm about to go to bed now though!

Qik · 09/08/2022 04:04

I never sleep for more than 4-5 hours. Plus I have a letter to write first thing this morning and what I need to say is going round and round in my head.

Barrawarra · 09/08/2022 04:37

Camping for 2 weeks and after 10 nights of very interrupted sleep, I am broken. Kids seem to wake every 20-30 min between them needing pees, having wriggled out of their sleeping bags and cold etc. lying here with rage at DH who sleeps through it all and researching the b&b I am going to go and book for tonight. Hope you got back to sleep op.

Cat yowled from the bottom of the stairs. I went to see if she wanted anything and she ran out through the cat flap. She slept all day in the heat so is feeling quite playful at this ungodly hour. 🙄

Woke up to visit the loo now I'm listening to a couple foxes at someone's rubbish. Thought it might be mine but I've checked it's just they've got a bag they've taken from somewhere on the street in front of my neighbours house (we are terraced). Between their weird squealing and the sound of plastic being pushed around the tarmac I thought I'd just have a peak at MN...
