Wide awake. Anyone else?

[MessyNeate]

Why are you awake?

I'm not even sure why I'm awake. I didn't really sleep well last night through excitement of DP coming home after 3 months away.

I've missed sharing a bed with him. But been wide awake since 1am. Come downstairs for a yogurt and a banana in the hope I can get some sleep after.

Failing that we are out with friends tonight so the wine with dinner will help me sleep better tonight

Me. Drank a latte earlier despite usually avoiding caffeine and that plus work stress has had me wide awake for the last 3hrs 🤦‍♀️ I’ve had warm milk, read my book, written lists, done some admin and nothing is calming me down

Ditto

Peri and wake up with a sense of impending doom on occasion

Not a wink of sleep yet for me. A mixture of anxiety and illness.

Anxiety because my neighbour's car was stolen around 24 hours ago and it was parked just two car lengths away from ours. It's not something we've had in our street until now but it's something I have regular nightmares about so it's like my body doesn't want to risk that so I'm wide awake instead.

And illness thanks to my friend's toddler who I look after every Monday. She told me 20 minutes before bringing him to me that he wasn't quite 100% and I then spent the whole day with him coughing all over me. My immune system sucks so I knew I'd end up getting it and sure enough, here I am coughing away constantly. DH is really upset that she still brought him to us knowing how easily I get ill, it's only been around 3 weeks since I had Covid and I was only just getting back to normal.

I went to bed at 9.30 but was up at 10.45, 12.30, 2.10, and finally up for the day at 4.30 when it seems my DDs ventilator has broken so now I’ve got to ring the hospital this morning and sort that out. So happy days!
