Omg I can't sleep & it's doing my head in!

[lucysmam]

I've come downstairs for a bit to see if the "change of scenery" helps 🙄

So far the fridge whirring, and clock ticking, are annoying me just as much 🤷‍♀️

I'll head back up in a mo, I think. Probably to toss and turn some more <sigh>

(It's the pre-chemo steroid that does it according to the nurse I was chatting with about my weird Friday no sleep thing last week. It'll right itself tomorrow & I'll be snoozing early).

Hallo 👋
Part time insomniac here, today is apparently a no sleep day 😔 I'm in bed scrolling on my phone which I'm told us the worst thing to do when I can't sleep and my phone keeps going back into bedtime mode (all grey) and then I pause that for 30mins until it goes grey again...

Sometimes I make lists in my head and that helps me drop off. Yesterday I tried the think of a friend or acquaintance for every letter of the alphabet 😂

Hope you manage to get some sleep!

Hope you both manage to get some sleep soon. I’m wake with my autistic DC. So looks like a long day for me.

Sorry to see you're both lacking in sleep too! Bit pants isn't it!?

I've been scrolling black rhinestones of all things for a project, and browsing peg dolls on Etsy 🤷‍♀️

Im browsing homeware for DN who’s off to uni. Hoping to get her some lovely items to make halls feel more like home.

Me too. And I have a long day ahead of me which is going to be tough . Don't know how I will keep going. No idea why as had a busy day and went to bed late. Too late now to take anything to help.

Sucks doesn't it when your brain is active and all you want to do is sleep!

I'm taking dd2 to the opticians tomorrow - she's moving about quite a bit upstairs, not sure if she's awake too. Will not be fun if she is!

I also can't sleep. Have been awake since 2. Tried a sleep meditation thing and it was working but then I started thinking that it was finishing and I wasn't asleep yet and was going to have to restart it or something and then I'm wide awake again. Have long train journey/family visit today as well. Think will probably get up soon. Am so annoyed.

Oh no I hope she’s settles back down especially if you have an appointment later.

My 10.5 mo decided it was morning right now for him so it is for me too😭 he's never been a good sleeper and I suffer insomnia too sometimes but was actually fast asleep for once🤣

7 month old is wide Awake thinks it play time looks like it's time to get up

@Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse it's not too bad if she doesn't sleep & is grotty - she's 13 & will make sure I know allllllll about it though 🙄 Can't give her a wide berth if I'm out with her though 🤣

I'm awake too! I finished nights yesterday morning, slept until 1pm. Then stupidly fell back asleep at 8pm! So I've had 7 hours. All caught up.

But a family bbq later. And I'll be exhausted come 8pm I imagine

Throws of the whole day doesn't it. Makes you wonder where they get the energy from😆

Yes it sure does it not like I can take a nap wen he goes down for his nap and got dd who is 4 and she will not nap lol so looks like I will be sleep walking the rest of the day

good luck@lucysmam
I think we all need/deserve a cup of tea or coffee.

I feel for you, I'm lucky then to be able to nap as Ive only got the one, though not feeling lucky right this second🤣

Did anyone get back to sleep

sadly not nope. Did some online shopping which I’m not sure I needed 😂 how about you?

Nope I ended up doing some cleaning will everyone else was a sleep and then gave ds his breakfast and then he went down for a nap at 9.30 this morning did online shop and now just having a fag and coffee x

No.

I'm currently on a train on my way to a Very Long Day and I'm shattered and have a splitting headache.

Try a can of redbull that always helps me with a headache x

well done @mummybear247 sounds like you used your sleep deprived time wisely. @murielstacey I hope your headache goes soon get some paracetamol and water in you.

Yeah I sure did saves me getting followed by my 4 year old dd asking what I'm doing and can she help it takes to long wen she helps lol x

I eventually got to sleep around 5am - that's the last time I looked at my phone for the time. Got up at 9am so I'll definitely sleep later.

Dd2 mentioned when she came down for breakfast that she didn't sleep well either - she's surprisingly chipper though!
