In bed at 8.45pm on a Saturday

Because I am just exhausted

It all just seems a bit too much

Working too much, not enough money and NO sunshine

Really hope a good nights sleep and no alarm fix me

I hope you get a good night, sleep deprivation is the work of the devil. Can you do something for you tomorrow, even if it's just a cup of tea in bed (or drink of choice)?

Earhell · 05/08/2023 20:47

I'm regularly in bed by this time. It really does help to have an early night.

LemonDrizzle10 · 05/08/2023 20:47

Sleep well OP
I’ll be brushing my teeth soon. It doesn’t feel like August - thick snuggly duvet on the bed tonight!

Queenfreak · 05/08/2023 20:49

Me too.
I'm on my own with my daughter atm and she doesn't sleep well (asd). I'm full of cold and feel absolutely rotten.
I've got a cup of tea, the small person beside me in bed and a book.
If I make it until 930 I'll be very surprised

I'm in bed with a glass of red wine and my Kindle!

Sometimes an early night can be an excellent 'reset'. I hope you have a good sleep and feel rested and brighter in the morning.

I would be if I didn’t have to pick my dd up from work at 11.00 instead I’m on the sofa with the dog watching Showtrial on bbc iplayer and eating chocolate

I live on my own so especially in this miserable weather, there is nothing nicer than (yikes!) sticking on the electric blanket for half an hour, getting into a lovely warm bed and watching something good on Netflix or the like.

I'm older now so I can leave the rain, wind, and dressing up for the night to the young ones, like I did myself many moons ago.

Whatever floats your boat, enjoy.

I'm glad that you are able to do this - I haven't had a decent sleep in over 15 months as my little girl still wakes 2-3 times a night and won't settle for her Daddy. I always tell myself four hours is enough, even then it is usually a broken four hours but I am really feeling it right now... Had covid over the last couple of weeks (first time it has got into our household!) and it has left me even more exhausted than ever! Off on holiday on Monday so hoping for a chance to recharge the batteries!

lucysmam · 05/08/2023 21:17

I'm heading up soon, hoping for a better night than last night...6-A-fucking-M I last checked the time ffs! I am knackered! Hopefully todays wander round some shops, stomp around the nearby lake, and mooch at big asda, will have helped & I'll be out like a light!

My DH is away this weekend. I’ve just eaten a pizza with DDand am having a wine. Will be in bed for 10 with my dog lol. Love an early night sometimes!

LibertyLily · 05/08/2023 21:26

We (DH and I) have been in bed for 20 mins (since 9pm) as neither of us could be bothered staying up any longer...even our DDog was wanting to go up to bed after her evening walk.

I'm currently tucked up with a hot water bottle as it's so cold here (reminiscing about last August's heatwave) and a book, hoping to get a better night's sleep than I've had in several months.

Hubby works nights so I'm usually in bed by 8pm. netflix, chocolate and a cosy cuddle with the dog .

AuntieMarys · 05/08/2023 21:40

I'm in bed every night by 9! Mind you we day drink

Medusaismyhero · 05/08/2023 21:54

I've been in bed most of the day - day 2 of a migraine 😭

I love you. This whole thread was about to go tweetastic.

megletthesecond · 05/08/2023 21:57

I do this every Friday and Saturday. It seems to stop me getting ill.

Emmamoo89 · 05/08/2023 22:00

Hope you sleep well. I'll be off to bed soon.
