I am not worrying about anything. No family drama, no marriage in crisis. Not in a mood, (can't be arsed), to read anything serious,
Just bloody awake and wishing I wasn't.
Thought it might be nice to chat. Anyone else?

Awake since 3.30 here, camping with my 10 month old who is now back to sleep but I’m not!

The joys of parenthood. If my youngest came 1st he would definitely be an only child

Tried to go back to sleep but to no avail .. nearly morning now . Hope you have a restful day OP

I'm awake. Always by 5am. I'm don't mind, I lay calmly thinking about things then get up around 6.

I've loads going on but that tends to wake me in the night. Strangely slept soundly last night after one hell of a day!

@EmmaDial some maths, as you need to calculate floor space and check stuff like windows complies with building regs (which are not retrospectively enforceable but it's still worth letting people know if they have a potential fire escape route or not).
It's interesting but vast amounts to learn, especially as my background isn't anything to do with property. I used to do product safety, it was much more straightforward (but the pay was rubbish).

4am club here, laying in bed listening to DH snore... every night is the same

Peri and the hot flushes wake me then I can't get back to sleep!

meeeeeeeeeee....
Not really sleeping since 3:30am.
I could do some work, but MEH to that. Finally resorted to screens due to boredom about 40 minutes ago.

@OctoblocksAssemble Sounds interesting because it sounds as if there is variety. Good Luck with it all.
I'm off back to bed and try again. Byeee!

Awake. Hangover kicking in. On Ozempic so shouldn’t be drinking. Get terrible hangovers anyway but soooooo much worse with Ozempic.

Had a little wander round house. Random dogs barking outside. Can’t find my dogs… must be still outside. It’s not then barking though.

not sure if the teens are back, didn’t hear them come in…. But took a chill pill before bed ( huge amount of business worry that DH and I are obsessing over, we work together.

husband gently snoring. So many reasons not to sleep.

I think i'm going to give up. Only got about 4 hours, so will be an absolute mess today. Have to be up earlyish anyway, and knowing that makes it even harder to get to sleep. 3pm I will be crashing badly 😴

I actually don’t have to be up til 815 as we are both wfh tomorrow and kids won’t be up as they’re both going to bed later due to summer hols. Going to try sleep now after my tenth toilet trip.

Window82 · 02/08/2023 05:49

’up’

OctoblocksAssemble · 02/08/2023 09:55

Oddly, decided I wouldn't try to sleep made me relaxed enough to drift off for another hour and a half. Still feel pretty rotten, bur will live.
Hope everyone else managed to get a bit of sleep
