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

Aw @CanIbeRio I'm sorry, RIP. There's a disconnect when they first go.

The teen stories are making me smile, dread to think what I put my parents through. I remember getting in late and going to my bedroom, walking into my wardrobe and clutching it for balance then it fell on top of me. Luckily it was a lightweight one 😳

Been up since half 3.

Very pregnant and just cannot get comfortable once I wake up. Gave up and came downstairs so now I have a cat sleeping in my lap Grin

ZeppelinTits · 21/08/2024 05:23

My cat woke me by hacking and coughing on my bed 🙄 But then I went to the loo, had a snack, looked at the moon and applied for an online job. I have a horrible cough so am a bit restless. Not normally awake at this time!

I've got a sore arm (currently under treatment from physio) and it keeps waking me up whenever I move about in bed. I really need to start taking painkillers before going to sleep.

I'm on an overnight bus to London and have dozed a bit.

CalicoPusscat · 21/08/2024 05:43

@Livinginaclock how long is the journey? Hopefully you have well behaved fellow passengers!

Cozytoesandtoast00 · 21/08/2024 06:00

I have full moon problems! ☹️
I’m normally a great sleeper.

You must be knackered - I hope your journey is nearly over!

On holiday and one of my kids has been throwing up Sad

@CanIbeRio

Sorry about your Bun.

I am usually awake in the early hours as I have to get up multiple times for a pee. Plus I had left my bag at work with my phone in it. I use the alarm, though normally turn it off beforehand and get up earlier!

Livinginaclock · 21/08/2024 08:55

I didn't get anymore sleep, but I'm in London, my happy place.

CanIbeRio · 21/08/2024 09:50

@Deathraystare thank you x

CanIbeRio · 21/08/2024 09:51

@dogsdogsdogs1234 hope your dog is ok

CanIbeRio · 21/08/2024 09:53

@minipill hope your dc is OK and you manage to avoid whatever they have. Makes for a miserable hols, sorry for you

I need to up my game - I'd learnt to silently open and shut doors and creep up the stairs like a ninja, in fear of waking a parent at their age! I obviously don't have the right consequences in place.

@dogsdogsdogs1234 hope your dog is ok

Lifelong insomniac (I didn't sleep through the night until I was 35!)

Not long out of another shit relationship so thinking about that at the moment.

MessyNeate · 22/08/2024 04:26

Also awake again with another early appt (wedding dress fitting at 9am!!)

Camping in fucking wind with 40mph gusts Confused

I want to pack up and go home, but my parents have paid and my DB and DN&N are due to join his tomorrow. At least he’ll help weigh the tent down.

A fully expecting to wake up in the Land of Oz. It’s a good job we know the words to all the songs from Wicked!

Xiaoxiong · 22/08/2024 04:40

Had a nightmare so bad I woke up with a big gasp, and MNing to distract myself until I stop remembering it. Ugh.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 22/08/2024 04:47

Menopause. 5 hours is my absolute max stretch. Fell asleep around 11 and got up for some water (also dry mouth menopause) and went to the loo.

Probably doze a bit just before my alarm at 7am and feel wiped out all day 🙄

Crumpetdisappointment · 22/08/2024 04:50

my dog woke me
