Insomnia. I’ve woken up between 1am-4am every single night for the last couple of weeks. Currently like a zombie and utterly exhausted.

MumChp · 08/05/2024 03:16

I am at work.

Too hot in a stuffy room where the windows don't open and in polycotton bedding (only have cotton at home) 😕

I hate insomnia. I'm awake in the middle of the night too often

Been up since 1am with a teething baby 🙃🫠 he seems to be settling now but I also thought that 10 mins ago and tried to lie down and he started crying again so we’re back to rocking 🫠

5:30 here

I need to get up in an hour but woke up needing the toilet and can't get back to sleep.

Garlicked · 08/05/2024 03:37

This is my second night! I'm too old and knackered for this 😬 On top of inexplicable free-floating anxiety and understandable aches & pains, I'm having enormous hot flushes at night. I'm 69 FFS!!!!!

The only saving grace is that, when I do sleep, I'll be able to snore for as long as I need to ... or until another hot flush 🔥🔥

My GP's anachronistically averse to putting old women back on HRT, but I think I'm going to have to rant. If I can get hold of a doctor, that is!

Nerve pain which gives me frequently bad nights with disturbed or sometimes zero sleep.
And for added fun am getting bad dreams as a medication side effect so was pleased to wake up tonight.

Stressedgiraffe · 08/05/2024 03:42

Why is it that at the weekend I can sleep late but during the week I'm awake from 3. Its so frustrating. Unfortunately I can't take hrt.
Only advance is that teenagers are often up late and come to me for chats cuddles and advice.

Pain and health anxiety. I feel so awful and scared for the future. I've lost my mobility this year along with my hobbies and am so tired of it all.

Stressedgiraffe · 08/05/2024 03:43

@garlictwist I'm sorry that must be so scary
