Anyone up? Horrific sleep!

[asblackasyoursoul]

Went to sleep last night 2030 (I know, I was so exhausted though!). Woke up 2350 briefly, off back to sleep. Have now been awake since 0130. My eyes are tired but my mind is fully awake.

I have to be up for work at 0530 and strongly debating just staying up?! I’ve been trying to get back to sleep for ages but it’s not happening!

This always seems to happen to me - if I go to bed anytime before about 2300 then I wake up constantly during the night - however if I go to bed a bit later I sleep straight through. Anyone know why?

Sorry this isn’t the most exciting topic! But would it be foolish of me to stay up, get myself a lovely coffee, make a great breakfast and enjoy some time to myself before my 12 hour shift? Or is this terrible and I should seek out every scrap of sleep I can get? 😁

Yep, struggling with nausea from trimester one

I hate trimester one!

I hope you managed to get some sleep, @asblackasyoursoul

@Morielle its hellish isn’t it! I had Avacado on toast with an egg and fried tomato 🍅
@Augend23 thats not good! Did you at least get to bed at a reasonable time last night?

By the time I finish my shift I will have been awake for 18 hours… the joys 🤩

@Tiredallofthetime oh no, nothing worse! Have you tried the usual suspects - peppermint or ginger tea etc?
I didn’t manage to get any more sleep unfortunately. I was getting frustrated just lying there with nothing happening and then I felt hungry! It was hopeless.

I've been awake all night and knackered but too excited/ nervous to sleep because I think I'm in labour!! Pretty sure my waters went at 2am and now I'm getting quite strong period like pains. DP and the dog are snoring next to me and I'm absolutely wide awake but know I need to get some sleep 😭

I'm trying not to think about the fact I have to be leaving for work in less than 2 hours! I haven't been back to sleep yet... tempted to ring in, but I'm not ill so... better carry on! I am off on Saturday (my sons birthday party and then a long day on Sunday! Waahhh

@rickandmorts good luck! There’s no way I could sleep if that was me either!

@lovemelovemesaythatyouloveme oh I know, in an ideal world we could both just ring in sick this morning! I’m also leaving for work at 0630. Since it’s just gone 0530 now I’d probably start getting ready since I’ve been sat having my coffee for a good half hour now. Urgh, now would be a great time to crawl back under the covers!

Yes I've barely slept I was just feeling like I could go back and now my toddler is awake

@asblackasyoursoul I have a headache already!!

10.30. - 12.30 sleep here. Got a 12 hour day at work ahead 😢

18 hours 😵‍💫 that's dreadful. I don't think I would be able to do anything useful by the end of that.

I think I probably got 5 hours sleep, but I don't really function on less than 8. Caffeine to the rescue I think!

Anybody up!?

<waves>. I'm here.

After weeks of HRT and not working leading to blissful sleep I'm now back to waking up in the middle of the night, mind racing.

I went back to work last week.

See the connection?

Urgh.

@lovemelovemesaythatyouloveme yes. I'm dreadful at telling myself to go to sleep. I was like a nodding dog on the sofa earlier now I'm wide awake. Infuriating. I'm up very early too, 0430, which is going to be a massive struggle

It's a total bugger. I did yesterdays shift with no sleep and fell asleep with the kids at 7pm, now wide awake drinking tea! Waaahhh.

I'm awake. I feel quite vampiric these days.
