Nearly 1am, why are you awake?

I am caring for 5 week old twins. Dream feed done, so now with luck they will sleep for a few hours.

Are you on a night shift?

Husband, daughter and I got really invested in a boardgame and didn't realise the time. All trundling to bed now thankful we don't have an early start tomorrow.

@MonsteraMama ooh I'm intrigued which game it is. We recently got carcasonne which is fun but not a long game.

Lumley was so glorious perfectly acid with passive aggression in Fool Me Once 😄

I’ve been watching Requiem on Netflix and it’s terrible but I’m in it now!

Throwaway1066 · 06/01/2024 00:56

My husband snores and fidgets, which kept me from falling asleep in bed. Now I’m on the sofa hoping to get a few hours before driving to my DMs for the weekend.

Breastfeeding my 5 month old. He still wakes a lot through the night to be fed. I'm super tired but soaking it all up as he's my last baby

I tore the meniscus in my knee 9 weeks ago and have struggled to sleep due to pain since. 7 weeks, 2 days until surgery and counting!

No routine from Christmas. My kids are all back at school week so normality will return.

Also I was woken up by a young child shouting at 3am last night. I woke up thinking "did I dream that?" When the shouting happened again from my bed beside me. It was only me my 16 year in last night. Dh and young kids was staying elsewhere. Besides it was a really young child's voice. 5 or under. I don't belive in ghosts BUT this house is haunted. Nothing menincing really lots of really weird things heard by a few of us. Especially my 16 yo ds.

TheSlantedOwl · 06/01/2024 00:58

Ouch @wlv12 how did you do that? Godspeed your op!

I'm making the most of it too. Also my last baby. X

Got a sore throat which is preventing me from falling asleep. Night three of no sleep and I feel a bit sick from it. Might have a honey and lemon in a bit.

Thoughts to those who are grieving 💐

Floralnomad · 06/01/2024 00:58

Sorry for all the people who have suffered a bereavement be it human or animal - they are all family members 💐
Im always awake at this time , years of working nights have made me a night owl .

TheSlantedOwl · 06/01/2024 00:59

Ok @DyslexicPoster we will obviously need some more spooky details please..!

@TheSlantedOwl - I’ve got Ehlers Danlos syndrome so somehow I did it just walking normally! I don’t even have an interesting story behind it 😆

Arkham Horror! It's a big hit in this house but takes about 30 years to set up and play a full game, especially with cautious and indecisive people like me 😂

Justyouwaitandseeagain · 06/01/2024 01:01

3 out of 4 of us still awake. My DH won't come to bed and that means I end up doom scrolling or he wakes me up. He also needs to get our youngest to sleep but both are night owls. It drives me mad 😭

TheSlantedOwl · 06/01/2024 01:03

Ah @wlv12 I have a friend with ED syndrome and they are so vulnerable to injury. Hope the weeks until your op are as swift and pain free as possible!

Boopydoo · 06/01/2024 01:03

Anti social behaviour, loud thumping rave style music being played in the street near our flat. Police won't do anything, Council won't do anything so we just have to put up with it.

nannynick · 06/01/2024 01:04

Not my twins, it's work. Gives the parents a night off... I hope they get some rest.

Have two episodes of Fool Me Once to go, may watch those now.

My ND anxiety - ridden teen DD is attempting a sleepover at a friend's- she's desperate to be able to do it but it can go pear shaped easily. I have my hoody and car keys to hand. No sos calls as yet...

EllaJ21 · 06/01/2024 01:06

Heartbroken 💔

nannynick · 06/01/2024 01:07

@Boopydoo Ah that sucks. I live in a tiny flat (maybe why I like going to work in other people's homes) and noise travels so easily. Was very glad when one neighbour in particular moved out.

Got into bad habits over the Christmas break. I'm the only one awake but happily watching TV in bed. Come Monday I'm forced to get up at 6am again.
