2nd night in a row I'm wide awake. Am so tired in the day I could sleep no problem. Worrying about big team meeting in work tomorrow. It will be fine but can't help it!

Yeh it's basically to go through a big to do list. I'm a bit behind from annual leave and a sick day. And I need to get in early to finish my list of where I'm at. There's a hiring freeze at the moment and we are having to pick up more work as people leave and are not replaced

I know. I took a sick day last week as I couldn't cope. Slept for about 8 hours during the day. Felt lovely in some ways but didn't really help the root problem

Night feed with baby.

Exhale until it makes you yawn, do this repeatedly. You’ll then (hopefully) drift off to sleep :)

Awww . I could have slept standing up when mine were small. My kids are big now and I have a whole night to sleep but I can't . I'll try that now!

Early evening here (7hrs behind) and we have a wildfire burning about 8 miles away. It was heading towards the only highway out of here but the winds have shifted it away again. We’ve been on an evacuation alert (be prepared to leave) since Friday evening.

I’m up OP and probably will be all night, I have insomnia 😭😭
What are you up to?

CoffeeAndPeanuts · 14/05/2024 02:27

Yep I'm wide awake, but too tired to do anything useful!!

do exhausted in the day, I could sleep standing in a bucket of ice!

but can I sleep at night? Can I fuck!!

i have a little mosquito friend visiting! I've told him he can stay and be safe & comfortable but he needs to stay still, not keep moving around making that 'I want your blood' noise!

He's pushing his luck! I won't kill him, but he's going to be turfed out if he doesn't behave!!

lots of stuff going on, can't switch off, but I never sleep well

I'm up. Medication is giving me side effects and i can't sleep. I usually find if i imagine doing a really tedious, fiddly process step by step that i can fall asleep - I'm going to try that in a minute.

Same! I will just fall asleep at random too there’s nothing I can do to help it 😭

@Dakotabluebell i used to say to myself. If you're not asleep by x, you have to get up & do some ironing! But given the iron has been up in the loft for a few years, I can't threaten myself anymore!!

I'm awake due to a sore back from a slight touch of sunburn from Saturday (I had sunscreen on but missed a patch on my back and that's where it's sore 😭). I didn't think it was that bad at first but it's got really tight and sore today.

I'm just waiting on painkillers kicking in which should hopefully help me sleep soon though.

Hello. I'm awake stressing about some unfairness at work. Work seems like a common denominator for a few of us.

Paninaro94 · 14/05/2024 02:53

I’m awake. It’s 5 hours behind the UK but I like to be in bed early as I get up around 5. I had hoped to be asleep by now but no such luck. I also hope to sleep through the night, which is not as easy as it used to be. Menopause, hey.

I'm up.

Chronic pain - just got a cup of tea and two choccy digestives to take my painkillers with.

Amazing red sky as the sun is coming up.

mrsed1987 · 14/05/2024 05:02

I've been up since 4am feeding my son. He is 5 weeks old so I'll let him off for keeping me awake.

Sad to see so many people awake due to work stress but can relate

catlady7 · 14/05/2024 05:02

Up feeding the baby.

ClaustrophobicKipper · 14/05/2024 05:07

I'm awake too since 330. My 6 yo has a bad cold/flu thing and is in with me shivering away under 3 layers of blankets :(

NewLifter · 14/05/2024 07:34

Good luck today everyone 😭

I fell asleep shortly after posting then woke up a couple of hours later after a whole run of horrible dreams and I struggled to get back to sleep for a little while. Thankfully I had nothing on this morning so I ended up having a lie in until 10.30.
