Anyone else awake for no reason?

[Pseudonamed]

I am not sure if I woke because I am a certain age or because my mind just cannot stop whirring due to overthinking or what the reason is but this is me, up and at em since 4.30am. I am about to make a second coffee and put on a load of laundry.

Anyone else?

Yes me. Very randomly. Also woke at 4:30.
It’s so annoying!

Dog woke me up an hour ago to go out, she’s fast asleep and I’m still awake!

I’m awake cause this is the time I usually get up for work! Excited to have a lie in though, although I won’t be able to get back to sleep

Me. My sleep pattern is all mIxed up at the mo
moment. I’m still in bed because I don’t want to wake anyone else up.

Me. I've been boiling/ freezing all through the night and decided to get up for tea and toast about an hour ago.

I've read a chapter of my book and done Wordle!

For me it's menopause related.
It's not so bad today as I'm off work but I'm already worrying about tomorrow when I have to get up early.

Awake since 4 but can't really do anything as visiting family and my DP is asleep. Worrying about my studies. New supervisor was concerned I couldn't show her any work due to a tech glitch during our meeting and I think took it a bit far. The kick in the pants was helpful in a way but we had never met and it's made me spiral somewhat.

Woke up at 4am over heated
Got up and made a cuppa...Still awake but tired

Gave up trying to get back to sleep at 5:30 , on the plus side washing is on , cat is fed and I’m two cups of tea and a hot cross bun down already !

Hardly slept last night. Pregnant and sore feet. Stayed in a hotel so could be an unfamiliar bed, though it’s very comfy. Toddler took until 10pm to get to sleep and he woke at 430, he’ll be shattered today. DH still asleep. Made coffee and ate the hotel biscuits.

And the toddler is watching CBeebies 😴

Me. 5am wide awake 😫

Been awake since 2:55am. I've got Rheumatoid Arthritis and it decided last evening to kick off in my right shoulder and hands really badly.

It's been a painful night, so gave up and made coffee and hit the painkillers. Going for round two on those in a minute.

I'm going to have a day of doing not very much and try to not feel guilty about it.

Yep, since 0530. So bloody annoying!! I'm going to get up shortly drink some coffee and feel sorry for myself as I've got a 12 hour shift at 10!

Me although it's not for no reason- jet lag. Body thinks it's half past ten. had a lovely holiday but somewhat stupidly let my team schedule a stressful client meeting for Wednesday and it's been on my mind the whole time and now I'm dreading it...

Yea, have been for a short while. My back is playing up something awful. I always strangle with it bht it’s worse right now for some reason. Annoyed as I’d hoped for a nice snuggly lie in while dh got up with DS in an hour or two.

While I am glad I am not alone I am not glad so many of us are awake for no good purpose.

Me too x

I have just updated my list for the day. I like to make a list over my morning coffee of things I want to do. Silly things like laundry, walk dogs, have full conversation with teens lol I just love to mark them off at the end of the day and throw the piece of notepad in the bin.

Been awake since 2.45...thanks cat. Got up at 3 and am now 3.5 hours into my working day, the joy of being self employed. Plan to be watching Netflix by lunchtime. Anyone want a cat?

Yes, I got woken up by the delightful sound of my cat chucking a hairball up at 5.30am 🤮. I am off today but would have liked a lie-in - sadly not to be. I've told the cat when she's sleeping on my bed today, I'm going to make retching noises in her ear. She just looked at me as if to say 'and I'll scratch your eyes out'. Solidarity to us early risers.

Note to self do not get a cat....

Been awake since 2.30am and did some phone surfing, but didn't get up til 4 - have watched I'm a celeb Aus and just found the Aus version of the sort your life out stacey solomon/Nick knowles can't remember the name of the show so watching people deliberate over dog eared paperbacks 😂

Deciding whether to go back to bed for 2 hours, DH will be up at 7am so at least there won't be any snoring to keep me awake. Will have to set an alarm though, trying so hard to keep a sleep pattern. Not sure what's waking me up but been like this for about a week so far.

Been awake since 3am and buggering around on MN instead of doing anything useful. I’ve probably only got another 15mins peace before the 4year old wakes the rest of the house.

5am but because that's what time my kids wake me every day. I'm a good morning person normally but it's pissing it down so I'm not feeling very motivated (working later too)

Been awake since 4 am as had to get dc aged 18 and 21 up as they are going to Venice with my dsister taxi picked them up at 5 was hoping to go back to sleep but am wide awake now
