It's 3am, why are you awake?

[Blocked]

I was snoozing soundly when DS (5) came into my room coughing, sniffling and asking for a drink so I guess he's coming down with something. He's snoring beside me now but I'm wide awake.

So, why are the rest of you all up?

I'm usually awake at this time. I've only had an hour sleep and I'm shattered. There's a couple of reasons apart from my insomnia.
I have restless legs and they're driving me mad at the mo. It's so painful and I'll have to have a walk around the house soon to try to ease it.

Also my gran is dying in the hospital. She's only got a couple of days left and I'm trying not to think about it but failing. The care she's received has been poor but now she has Covid too they're stopping her fluids and antibiotics ready to let her go.

Covid over here as well. I am feeling awful and it seems to hit worst and wake me up at 3am!

the dig woke me up but any get back to sleep as DH and I had a bad row last night and I feel unsettled about it. I think I might have PMDD and wondering whether to speak to GP.. we have a terrible time the week before my period and I’m so on edge every month to the point it affects daily life. Got a young baby and big building work going on, also stressful, and I’m wondering what to do about the end of my maternity in a few months. So just stress really! X

@Dontsparethehorses,
Good luck with the interview. Let us know how it goes.
@Magssss
Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉

I’m up for work 😫

Pregnant with the flu and that awful cough, I'm a week in and i'm waking up with coughing fits every night. So desperate for more than 3-4hrs sleep now.

I have fire alarms in every room of my house and they’re all connected to each other so if one goes off, they all go off. They’re also faulty and randomly go off for no reason. They decided to go off at 12.30am and since then my baby has been so unsettled. This is the fourth time I’ve been up with her since then, going attempt to transfer her back to her next to me and hopefully go back to sleep for another 45 minutes until she wakes again

Because I’ve got that awful cough viral thing going around. My chest sounds like it’s playing it’s own bagpipes in there, then I have a coughing fit and promptly wet myself. It very much sucks.

@Fedupmum21 I feel you, pregnancy insomnia here as well. I might follow your suit and get up. I have to be up for work in 45mins anyway, might as well have a leisurely cuppa.

Woke up in pain at 2am, autistic son is pacing so he is keeping me awake and my dog is panting and I'm worried about him.
The husband who is sleeping like a baby will wake up soon and suggest I kept him awake all night.

Another one with pregnancy insomnia 🙂 36 weeks with baby number one - my body is getting me ready for some even worse sleep disruption I feel! But this is my last week of work so I can survive.

Type 1 diabetic here and the alarm on
my phone woke me up as my blood sugars have gone to low. Just enjoying some haribo and a biscuit.

Gah. As if I wasn't feeling miserable anyway, I just put the radio on only to be greeted by THAT Xmas earworm by Mssrs Michael and Ridgeley.

So I'm out of #Whamageddon
Anyone else playing this year?

My mum died a week ago and I’m so tired relieved and shocked. I’m taking comfort from sleeping in her bed.

@scotscorner I found I actually slept better once baby was born, between the wake ups. I am still in 1st trimester with baby #2.
My toddler is snoozing in our bed just next to me.

Stuffed up with cold, so have been downstairs for a drink. Though also have bouts of insomnia.

@SeasonaIVag I am so very sorry. Sending hugs.

Is that what the wham thread is about! I'll have a look tomorrow. Well, later today...

@6demandingchildren, sorry to hear about the dog. Vet call?

@darisdet, not my Wham thread! Will go and look at it.

Autistic dd2 woke up at 2.30 am , so we are up

Wow! That sounds nice but I won’t count on it haha 😉 I definitely don’t feel as awful with this sleep interruption as I expected to - I used to be dreadful with any kind of disrupted sleep.
good luck with your pregnancy for baby #2! Hope it is going smoothly so far ♥️

Worrying about all sorts. My mum is dying of lung cancer and I’m thinking about her.

@seasonalvag

@SeasonaIVag and @Bookendedbylife, my thoughts are with you both.

Marriage ending. Brain too busy to sleep.
