Restless legs keeping me awake, could be a long few hours!

I’m hundreds of £££’s short for nursery fees and feel sick

Oh dear - can your partner/ex partner help?

Tarquina · 29/02/2024 04:13

Woke up at 2:00 a.m., cannot get back to sleep. Shooting pains up and down my leg don't help

Absolutenonstop · 29/02/2024 04:22

Pregnancy insomnia, which is an exotic treat compared to my usual bog standard insomnia. Oh well, not long til it’s a newborn keeping me up 🤞🤞🤞

ThrallsWife · 29/02/2024 04:24

I get up ridiculously early to work before heading to work so I can fit it all into my day.

MunchkinExpress · 29/02/2024 04:27

Hugs to all cancer posters. Wake every night between 3-4am thanks to insomnia in the family genes (love & miss you every day Dad), can drop off intermittently again until menopause hot flush wakes me up again.

I woke up with a banging headache, came downstairs for some paracetamol and realised I'd come on so had to sort myself out for that. Now I'm wide awake.

VariousVeins · 29/02/2024 04:32

I’m worried about my elderly cat who had a seizure last night and I think is developing epilepsy. My son is taking her to the vet later today as I have to go to work. I will be getting up soon as I’m wide awake!

Luddite26 · 29/02/2024 04:35

Just generally overwhelmed. Thought I could tidy up before everyone gets up but got on the Mumsnet rabbit hole instead.

Althenameshavegone · 29/02/2024 04:42

Been up since 2:30 with 2yr old and kept awake mentally preparing for interview tomorrow

Memyselfandtheothers · 29/02/2024 04:51

PTSD - nightmares wake me up each night. Adrenaline is running through my body and I can never get back to sleep.pretty much every night.

bloomtoperish · 29/02/2024 04:57

Went for a wee at 3am, when I went to grab a new toilet roll there was a big spider next to my face, I screamed and no more sleep for me! 😬

SunnyQuail · 29/02/2024 05:03

It's 5am. Been awake since 3.30. Husband is hogging the bed and baby is kicking the crap out of me (27 weeks pregnant).

Big hugs to everyone who needs them. Xxx

Sinus infection that's getting worse ☹️ two lots of antibiotics and pain is horrendous.

HotChocWine · 29/02/2024 05:24

Hugs to all that need them

I'm up for the day now, only a 9.5 hour work shift to negate

Bloody work. Just had a teams call from China as they saw I was online checking emails. Argh!!

😱
If you must go online at silly o clock, set your teams to yellow appear offline next time!

LostittoBostik · 29/02/2024 05:34

Work stress. Was working til 1.30am and I'm already awake panicking about it this morning.

Knackered hip hurts like hell.

@ReignOfError me too! I find it so hard to find a comfortable sleeping position. I've just bought a giant pregnancy pillow thing which seems to help. What's wrong with your hip?

I have literally had zero sleep. Bloody anxiety. Happens every now and then. Luckily I have a day off work.

Are you missing a number in front of 9, or have children started posting on mumsnet? 😆Happy birthday anyway and hopefully mummy and daddy have a nice day planned seeing as you're in a hotel and probably not going to school

IpanemaCaipirinha · 29/02/2024 08:33

It’s a leap year birthday bloom. Ds was born on feb 28th and narrowly missed being on the 29th.

I did drop off again at 5 before alarm went off at 6.15. Big hugs to everyone struggling through today Brew

Oh yes! I completely forgot about that 😁 do you normally celebrate on a different day? Glad you got a tiny bit of extra sleep x

Just realised I wasn't replying to the birthday girl, just woken up from a rare afternoon nap lol
