I'll be up till the sun comes up. I've got sleeping pills, but they won't work till I've been up a bit longer

robinsnest1967 · 06/08/2024 02:35

I can't sleep, despite strong pain meds. And I have to be up for the day in 3 hours 😭 I've been awake almost 24 hours.

AllABitNew · 06/08/2024 02:36

I'm not 'wide' awake, but I am awake.

Thanks to the baby 😴

johann12 · 06/08/2024 02:37

I'm getting to the point I think everyone else is kind of weird all going to sleep at night lol

Lamelie · 06/08/2024 02:41

Grr yes. And I’ve been sleeping so well recently (lifelong randomly insomniac)
It's not the end of the world, just going down to charge my phone and have a hot drink, but eufffff!

I know what you mean!

Here's hoping we all get some rest soon.

I have covid and have let too much time go between doses of paracetamol clearly. Was almost drifting off but have had to sit up as I feel rubbish.

Now the paracetamol is kicking in, I'm suddenly starving!

Feeding my 7 week old who was fast asleep then I changed his nappy and he was sick all over himself 😢 so a full costume change and a big cuddle!

dillydal · 06/08/2024 02:58

Also awake. Flew from west coast Canada back to the UK this morning. Also got dumped by text as we were boarding 😥 Now suffering a mix of jet lag and rumination.

I’m lay wide next to a newish BF who snores like a freight train. I’m sure I’ll get used to it eventually but I’m looking at this gorgeous guy and wondering how these noises are coming out of him.

SilverBranchGoldenPears · 06/08/2024 03:02

Oh I’m so sorry @dillydal .
What an ass!

I had a bad nightmare- woke up screaming. Now can’t get back to sleep. Not sure I want to.

Oh you poor love. I’m sorry.

spanieleyes22 · 06/08/2024 03:07

Dumped by text. That's rotten! I'm still awake. Last Monday night I literally didn't sleep at all until about 6 am when I went into a deep sleep and slept thru my alarm. Asked manager could I wfh that day due to insomnia but she said no and made me take a sick day! I felt so guilty. I'll have to get up and out in the morn as I can't afford another sick day. Working from home really helps as I can take breaks and have a nap at lunch. Am dreading the office tmw. I will feel awful

spanieleyes22 · 06/08/2024 03:09

Am so tired of having insomnia. The days / nights are so long when you can't sleep . Some nights I'm literally awake until 6 or even 7 and have to get up. I feel so terrible. Sorry for anyone with a baby. It's hard but hopefully will get better X

Pineappleprep · 06/08/2024 03:12

I'm being kept awake by the thunder and lightning outside, really hope it doesn't wake the kids up

Meadowfinch · 06/08/2024 03:15

I've just woken up in a sweat.

My ds is away with his dad, I didn't bother cooking supper, just some bread, cheese and olives, and it seems to have given me a hot flush. 😓

SinnerBoy · 06/08/2024 03:19

Dumped by text, what a cowardly shit! Look at it positively, you're well shot of him and don't you dare think about letting him wriggle his way back in!

Anyway, I'm on day 19 of 28, 6 to 6 night shifts. I've not been sleeping well, but that's because of the horrible time shift.

Sympathy to the rest of you!

Eminybob · 06/08/2024 03:23

Just can't seem to make it through the night at the moment. I wake up between 2 and 4 pretty much every night and it's hit and miss if I can get back to sleep. Last night I woke at 4 and that was me for the day.
Really should put the phone away and try and get some sleep.....

winetimenow · 06/08/2024 03:28

Sleeping really badly at the moment. Just started treatment for cancer.
But tonight I was sleeping really deeply until
About ten minutes ago - I had the worst nightmare and woke up crying
I need to distract myself from the memory of if

Dumped by text - that is really low. So sorry

DilemmaDelilah · 06/08/2024 03:31

I'm still awake. Went to bed relatively early but haven't really had any proper sleep, just a few 20 minute dozes. I've just had some bread and butter and a cup of tea... just about to switch the light off to give it another go. Knowing I have to wake up at 7am doesn't help though.....

MuggleMe · 06/08/2024 03:32

Migraine woke me up (failed to sleep it off).

Sympathies. Spent most of yesterday in bed with a thyroid headache and it always terrified me that one day I won't be able to sleep it off. Been up since half 2 so am going to have one looong day today😭

needtonamechangeforthis1 · 06/08/2024 03:37

Wide awake here too. Ran out of sleeping tablets and painkillers so have barely slept for about 5 days. Hopefully my meds will be ready tomorrow.

sashh · 06/08/2024 03:59

Morning, I'm usually around early morning like this.

fungibletoken · 06/08/2024 04:00

Hope some more of you are asleep now 💐

Over here baby DD is knackered but massively fighting sleep at the moment. I'm just holding her and trying to distract myself from the feeling of wanting to throw up. Some fun nursery bug that has involved going hot and cold, a sore throat and massive headache all day.
