I didn't start cooking until really late and did a very healthy casserole rather than the easier option of cheese on toast.

Watching love rats on Netflix with a cup of tea 🐀🐀🐀 (can't find a rat emoji)

It's only just past four pm here, recently home from work, sitting out on the porch enjoying watching the tide come in

LadyChilli · 20/09/2024 00:24

I'm in an airport abroad, with another 4 hours till my flight back to the UK. Been awake 22 hours so far. Hoping to sleep on the plane. Loving my adventure though.

I hope you enjoyed your casserole!

It's breezy and beautiful out today, this is my chill out time

Rewatching Slow Horses, getting my fix while waiting for the new episodes

Sitting in a&e with a poorly 1 year old, 4 hours and still waiting to be seen

RogueFemale · 20/09/2024 00:30

I'm rarely in bed before 1am.

I recommend Rebel Ridge on Netflix.

Karmaisac4t · 20/09/2024 00:31

Just finished watching an episode of the Rookie, time to let the dog out for his bedtime wee and then off to bed!

mrsfollowill · 20/09/2024 00:31

I live in the UK - I'm a few minutes off bedtime. I tend to sleep 12:30 til :710 most nights as it suits me - I just get into bed and sleep though- can be asleep in 30 seconds. Wait until I'm fit to drop!

Hope you get sorted

Get terrible dreams so I'm often up until I can barely stand, I can't face going to bed otherwise.

What a bundle of joy I sound! I run some websites so while I'm waiting for warm milk to work it's magic I update them and sort out software issues so it's it's not all bad.

TeenLifeMum · 20/09/2024 00:37

I have a flight in the morning and need to be up at 5.15am… so I’m laying wide awake in bed worrying I won’t hear the alarm 🙄

Peridot1 · 20/09/2024 00:38

I’m not up but am awake as can’t get to sleep for some reason. Which is annoying me!

@Happycroc - hope they see you soon and your little one is on the mend quickly.

Tarkan · 20/09/2024 00:49

I've been to a friend's funeral and a theatre rehearsal today so my brain has been really busy thinking of everything and right now I'm writing a quiz for one DH and I are hosting tomorrow night. I'll be off to bed soon though as I have a nail appointment at 10.

Charliecatpaws · 20/09/2024 00:49

Been watching commonwealth weightlifting on YouTube in Fiji, my son is coaching there. His lifter has not done well 🤦🏼‍♀️ onward and upwards

BibbityBobbityToo · 20/09/2024 00:53

I'm up as one of my cats is a bit off colour and I want to keep an eye on him to make sure it's nothing serious. I'm camping out on the sofa currently watching YouTube and have set my alarm to go off every hour.

MagentaRocks · 20/09/2024 00:56

I'm in bed but awake as usual. Insomnia sucks! I would love to be someone who can just fall asleep.

Leatherdoughnut · 20/09/2024 01:07

The company I work for has gone into administration, found out through the press. So I’m updating my CV and scrolling LinkedIn. Had lots of messages from recruiters - in the US, not very helpful when I’m in the UK.

TheCentreCannotHold · 20/09/2024 01:10

Doing some online CPD. Fascinating, but looong. Finished prepping for tomorrow's lessons at midnight, but I've got to do this mandatory training in smaller chunks every evening this week otherwise it'll take me all Saturday.

Also raging at @LaughingPig's goady thread about incentives for teacher recruitment and retention which just drips with a particularly pernicious type of 'facts' which may be theoretically plausible, but which anyone who has any real insight knows to be absolute -and irresponsible- baloney.

LeavesTrees · 20/09/2024 01:11

I have a cold, and it’s the type that every time I lie down my nose completely blocks and I can’t breathe through my nose at all. So I’m sat up and awake.

judgenikki · 20/09/2024 01:12

I've insomnia and Mt daughters heavenly birthday is on Sunday so its been difficult to sleep unfortunately

DigbysMum23 · 20/09/2024 01:13

I have 9 day old twins 👯‍♀️ 🙈

WaneyEdge · 20/09/2024 01:16

Finished work just after midnight, drove home (half hour). Now having a drink and watching TV, I can’t go straight to bed after work no matter how tired I am. Got an early start tomorrow too 😫

Started HRT About 3 weeks ago. It's giving me severe heart palpitations which is then causing me to have a panic attack.
I'm on my own with my disabled child, so I'm too scared to try and sleep
I'm on MN trying to take my mind off the panic.
