Why are you awake?

I've just worked 6 x 13 hour night shifts in 7 days.

Fell asleep at 8pm so wide awake now and struggling with restless legs.

Watching some murder documentaries on Netflix after eating a pot noodle

I don't tend to fall asleep until around now anyway but I stayed up because DH was due home from work just after 2am and he was running late, he's only just back now. I don't have anything to be up early for tomorrow anyway but I slept for a little bit earlier as I had a migraine so it'll be a later one for me tonight I think.

I have an appt at 9am 😩 and a pretty busy day tomorrow

Suffer with insomnia and I'm very restless. It's rubbish, nights are long and boring as don't really watch tv.

Well done on the night shifts! That must mess up your body clock a bit.

I’ve got covid and am at that god awful stage of going hot and cold. Watching Netflix till I sleep

Because my teens both had friends over to stay and all came home late, loud and a bit drunk.

There will be "words" tomorrow.

Menopause is kicking my but. It's made my insomnia 10 times worse. And I have to be up at 4.30.

Elderflower14 · 21/08/2024 03:47

I woke up to go to the loo... Wide awake now...

dogsdogsdogs1234 · 21/08/2024 03:48

I woke up just before 3am; this is a good thing, my sleep has completely flipped (wide awake at night, sleep during day) so I'm hoping to gradually rotate the clock now and be a little more normal during the nighttime. I get to my appointments in a bleary eyed fashion.

Busy day ahead so definitely porridge, nuts, seeds and berries for breakfast!

Nocturnalteens · 21/08/2024 04:02

Think my name says it all! Despairing with my sons staying up late as young and carefree, while I am not.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 21/08/2024 04:06

Took himself downstairs for a hot drink came upstairs and fell straight asleep! I’m still up although I did just feed the baby x

I'm always awake early. It's a good time to get things done.

ladyintherain · 21/08/2024 04:53

I'm usually awake at night I have non-24 sleep wake pattern I have ran out of sleeping pills so I intentionally stayed awake to the right time yesterday to wake up now. Taking cat to vets in a few hours to get neutered so always do this when I have appointments

CanIbeRio · 21/08/2024 05:00

My 11 year old gorgeous dwarf mini lop was rushed to emergency vet last night with fly srike which literally developed over a couple of hours. Right as rain one minute,....then not 😢. Had to have him PTS 😭. Woke up at 2, tossing and turning thinking of him....downstairs now having a cuppa. Feeling so sad 😪...RIP Georgie Buns ❤️🐰

sashh · 21/08/2024 05:07

@CanIbeRio oh no, so sorry.
