Why are you still awake?

Just that really. Why are you still awake at 12.58 on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning?

I've got a works summer fun day tomorrow. Going cycling with the work crew followed by a meal, and apparently a dip in the sea after....so I'm sort of treating it like a day off. Don't have to be there till 11. So enjoying the nighttime peace downstairs. TV off everyone else upstairs asleep. Bliss 🙂

I've got a meeting tomorrow with two bolshy characters which I'd rather not be going to. Urgh.

RocketIceLollie · 21/06/2023 01:02

Is it just a three way meeting?

I've been asking my brain why I'm still awake for the last three hours Confused

Had a not so hectic work day today so I don't feel I've done enough physically to tire me out yet there are so many things in my not very tired brain 🧠

KatieYoYo · 21/06/2023 01:03

Your day sounds great! Except maybe the dip in the sea which will probs be a bit nippy!

I’ve been asleep but I was woken up with cramp in my right thigh. It’s so bloody painful, I’m wide awake now. 🤬

MissingMoominMamma · 21/06/2023 01:04

I’ve had a migraine which led me to sleep excessively for the past two days. Now my brain is very, very awake and looking for something to do.

KatieYoYo · 21/06/2023 01:04

Yes just us three. I will have to put my big girl pants on for this one for sure.

johnnydeppsslipper · 21/06/2023 01:04

Period cramps have started in the last half hour aswell so about to neck some painkillers and hope they help

I have an appointment next week to scan a lymph node that won't go down. I brushed my teeth tonight and have a sore on my tongue. It's silly but I'm getting nervous and spiralling a bit.

Try and get some sleep. Read a book. Fall asleep on the sofa watching trash TV anything.

I might drop out of the dip in the sea. Swimming on a full a full stomach in open water after a meal and all that. Plus it's gonna be raining here tomorrow... getting my excuses lined up already ha.

Because I worked all last night (20.30pm-07.00am) and then slept all day. Body clock out of kilter.

I'm an insomniac. And a night owl.

Hugs for those up because of worry.

Body clock all over the place.

You know, it’s almost certainly going to be nothing at all. Don’t google, stay busy, you’ll be fine.

WTFAreYouForReal · 21/06/2023 01:08

Keto. Need sod all sleep when fully adapted.

Smash the meeting. In a positive way. Not kick over the glass table or anything ha.

I’m very rarely asleep before 2/3 , I’m currently watching Forensic Detectives with the dog

Haha I will probably want to kick over the table but will try to resist.
perhaps my brain is trying to make me tired thus too weak for rage smashing.

Lol love it. Dogs are the best company for watching TV

@KatieYoYo I know, it annoys me how much my mind takes over and how every niggle becomes a noteworthy 'symptom" due to the looming appointment. Google is the enemy for anything health-related. I will try and switch off, thanks for replying x

TicketyBoo11 · 21/06/2023 01:12

I often keep a late night. I like the quiet and watching a movie. I’ll be at my desk at 8:30am. Not a great habit..but hey ho. I’ve just watched ‘Good Luck, Leo Grande’..Emma Thompson et Al. It hit so many nerves and I spent the majority of the evening crying. Anyone seen it?...hopefully not at 11:30 at night..
