Anyone still up?

My sleeping schedule is completely out of whack so I'll probably go to sleep 5am and wake at midday. It'll get better when projects resume in January.

Neighbour is whistling. I know him fairly well and his schedule, he should be asleep by now. He's a terrible whistler!!

I'm up with insomnia probably related to the head and chest cold I've got.

Lookingatthesunset · 30/12/2023 03:08

Yeah I can't sleep, don't know why! Whistler would drive me nuts!

BingBunnyBlues · 30/12/2023 03:09

Started to yawn again now so may be able to sleep again. Whistling neighbour sounds like a PITA.

I've just woken up. Sharing a bed with two young DC and have limbs all over me so I'll probably fall asleep around 5am too.
I need a good night's sleep though as yesterday I barely slept (no children in bed).
My excuse is perimenopause.

Assume the whistling didn't wake you?

coxesorangepippin · 30/12/2023 03:11

Yeah still awake

Watching escape to the country

Soupofthemonth · 30/12/2023 03:13

Me!

I am a rubbish sleeper.

TheFormidableMrsC · 30/12/2023 03:15

I'm awake, I've got to be up in around 4 hours and can't drop off. So annoying.

ReTrainTheBrain · 30/12/2023 03:18

I'm about to go to bed. I've got people staying over and we've been out in the day and then relaxing and we start watching films at 11pm. This has been going on since Xmas day. Tomorrow everyone is going home so may be a chance to get back to a normal rhythm.

Oh not at all, he's a polite boy and usually drops by to say goodnight when he finishes work then goes home and straight to bed. Tonight was 11.30pm. I'm puzzled more than anything else!

He's still at it, I'll ask him tomorrow if he's turned into a bird 😁

Yep. Awake thanks to both kids waking one after the other and then pesky sinuses blocked. Had cold symptoms for two weeks now.

We’re going away on Monday and I’m also worrying about that a bit - paranoid we’ll get norovirus just before we leave or something!

Tachicrew · 30/12/2023 03:21

Also still up. Have had terrible trouble sleeping over last couple of nights. I'm almost afraid to try. Mainly due to awful mattress, as we're away from home.

RogueFemale · 30/12/2023 03:26

Awake and relishing being alone after people staying over Christmas, and nothing to do tomorrow, and cat snoring in his fleecy bed.

Villagetoraiseachild · 30/12/2023 03:26

Also awake.....sleep often goes out of whack this time of year, notice I sleep better if I get a walk in, didn't happen today...
Yawning a bit now tho....

@BingBunnyBlues hope it clears soon.

Yes. Pregnant and feeling very sick here! Can’t stop worrying about daft things. My mind is taking me to strange places.

Wishing you all lots of Zzzs

Villagetoraiseachild · 30/12/2023 03:30

It's not even full moon, maybe weird weather coming in.
Just had some feta on oatcakes and a hot drink....

OnlyTheBravest · 30/12/2023 03:31

Yep, my sleeping pattern has been thrown off by one too many late night TV sessions. I blame Channel 4 for putting the Godfather on at 1am. Of course I had to watch it until conclusion.

Villagetoraiseachild · 30/12/2023 03:33

Spray sounds good @RogueFemale . I use better yous vitamin d3 spray, also excellent, but for morning wakey uo times.....

Soapboxqueen · 30/12/2023 03:38

I'm awake.

Sleep all to hell because of crimbo but I've also got a poorly girl.

Temperature and vomiting.

I think she's fine but I'll not sleep properly anyway 😁👍🏻

MerryChristmas23 · 30/12/2023 03:50

I'm up, but only because I have work

I've got the D3 and B12 sprays too, there does seems to be science backing it up, for the topical sprays...

@RogueFemale yes, I remember my mother buying silver spray for someone in hospital. This was in 2011 so I can't remember what it did

It’s only 10 here but I’ve been staying up to the wee hours all Xmas break. Don’t know why. H is a terrible one for whistling, at leasT he goes to bed early

Villagetoraiseachild · 30/12/2023 04:08

Makes a massive difference if you're D3 deficient and living in the north!
