Can't sleep...

Difficult enough to sleep in this heat but for the last hour or so I've heard a mosquito buzzing in my ear and I can't find it! I'm annoying DH so I've given up and gone downstairs. Probably only have an hour or so until my youngest is up for the day. Going to be a long day!

I’m the same as you OP. I’ve come downstairs too and opened the doors to the garden!

Nice to know I'm not the only one. Looking forward to some much needed rain! I'm in London so it's been a long time.

Awake here too, I love the heat but haven't slept well for days now! Should get off phone really as hoping to drop back off!

Not much rain here forecast until tomorrow. Maybe some this afternoon if were lucky.

Same :( I've barely slept all night, just a few minutes here and there, wondering if there's any point at this stage and if I should just get up soon to get the kids stuff all ready for camp and crèche, drop them off, get some work done and go back to bed after my 10am work meeting. So fucking over this heat now 😡😡😡

Sounds like a good plan! We have to be out the house at 8.30, but I’m enjoying the peace and quiet for little bit 😁

I woke at 4.50 am but I went to sleep about 10pm so have had a solid 6 hours which is my maximum. Feel great after only managing 4 or 5 broken hours a night for the past week. Hope you catch up soon.

I e had an awful night maybe 2.5/3h max. Muggy, persistent thunder storms, A giant moth that sounds like a drone and the fact I'm back to work after 6 weeks today which i never sleep well before for fear of sleeping in, despite the fact I've woken naturally before the time I need to be up every day without fail for the entirety of my adult life 😆🤷🏼‍♀️

Think I dozed off for 20 mins or so on the sofa until I got woken my DH stomping around 🙄. Time for a cuppa I think and try to wake up a bit. Hope you all manage to catch up on sleep soon. Bloody awful losing sleep.

I'm away for a few days sharing a room and had hardly any sleep so far.

@liveforsummer ugh I'm the same, back to work today after being ill for two weeks, the stress of not sleeping enough and the worry of the tiredness just makes the sleep issues so much worse! According to my sleep tracker I got 2 hours 45 mins of very broken sleep, not enough!!! Found a MASSIVE bastard of a spider in the house the other day so paranoid about even opening windows now, especially with all the rain! Good luck today all, we'll get through it. Temperature down a few degrees tonight so hopefully it will be better...
