If you're still up, why, and what are you doing?

[CalicoPusscat]

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)

Made my tea for tomorrow, sorted sandwiches for work and just watched the Lauren gooder talking about her life like a pod cast.She seems lovely and it's nice of her to open up and in a way it will help others.

Thank you, I’m trying to process the news. I only found out around nine pm, and it was an unexpected death.

On my break on a night shift, just eaten some prawn cocktail crisps and a piece of cake my lovely colleague made. Roll on 8am, my bed is calling,

I'm at lunch and working in New Zealand. It's Friday afternoon here.

I've just submitted my MSc dissertation! So stress, so paranoid that I've gotten something wrong, so wired how will I ever sleep

I was completing an assignment after a full days work up until 9:30pm, now brain can't switch off and I need to be up at 6am to ready to start work at 8am. I'm WFH like but I could honestly sob. I'm going to feel like shit in 3hrs.

My rental house fell through today (we were due to move in 2 weeks), and so I am desperately scrabbling to find somewhere for us to move to. Worried about us being homeless and so can’t sleep.

Night shift, been trying to do care plans and not getting very far. Having a break outside to clear my head.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my husband jokingly said 'dont snore tonight please, we've got a busy day tomorrow!' so obviously he's spent the night fucking snoring and I've given up and gone into the spare room.

I'm up breastfeeding my 14m old. He's still feeding around 5 times a night. A quick feed and straight back off to sleep. But I wake up too much and take a while to settle back down 😭 Hence being on here at this time.

Just finished breastfeeding my 6 week old and now keeping him upright for a bit before putting him back down - any tips for one handed breastfeeding gratefully received as at the mo I seem to be using one arm/hand to support his body/head and the other hand to hold my boob in place as otherwise he slips off the latch!

3.23 am here. I just can't relax enough tonight. Need to put phone down lol

Best of luck. I I know how uncomfortable that can be. How you get sorted 🤗

crippling anxiety and insomnia. Watching my 4 month old sleep happily and wondering if I need to change my AD meds.

Up pumping milk for baby who is at nanas tonight x

I’m on the postnatal ward with my first baby. He was born on Saturday but we’ve been kept in so he can be treated for jaundice. I’m climbing the walls, the ward is like the bloody 7th circle, I just want to go home with my baby.

I’ve got Covid and have woken up with a raging fever feeling properly fluey - this new strain is brutal.
i need to try to get some sleep but have grim nausea and headache/body aches which is making it difficult.

congrats @theundoing I’m so sorry you’re still on the ward they seemed to be designed to drive you insane

So sorry for your loss , sending hugs 💐

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Was lying awake worrying about my DS who told me he is being bullied at school. Have finally got up to watch some mind numbing tv as a distraction. Been trying to avoid the horror that is MAFS but am about to succumb to it.

I’m on my 3:30 to 5:30 awake window. I’m retired so I don’t need to fight it, I have a cup of camomile tea and read or scroll, then get another hour of sleep and on with my day.

Recently had hand surgery and it’s tender so just staying up 😭 feels more relaxing to just sit in bed cosily than forcing myself to sleep atm

Ooh, where you been?

I'm awake because I woke at 3.30am for no reason I know of and haven't been able to get back to sleep.

Woke up feeling pretty poorly :-( trying to be quiet and not wake my toddler though we're getting towards the end of her sleep window so I darent disturb 😆

Yes! I had the same issue with my little one. We've co slept since birth and I found the best position for this is laying down on your side with baby next to you. My baby naturally seemed to latch and feed really well like this and we still feed a lot like this now. Even if you're not co sleeping, I'd definitely try this position if it's an option! He might just need a bit of guidance to begin because he's so young and small
