Why are you awake?

[UnhealthyCopingStrategies]

I heard the phrase of doom about an hour ago... I feel sick 🤢

They're now dozing on the sofa, but I'm awake, in pain and wishing it was morning!

On call at work in hospital. Final night after a long run of 4. Can't wait to be finished!

@UnhealthyCopingStrategies 2nd baby but 1st caused bad tear on way out hence section recommended this time.

thank you @whatsoccuringnow @Namechangetotalkaboutmysleepingpillsproblem @zeitweilig x

@vixsta2001 I’m sorry for your loss x

Sorry for your loss @vixsta2001 that sounds harrowing. Give DH a shove in the ribs.

Well done you @aveenobambino don't know how shift workers do it!

In that case I'm sure the C section will be just grand because it will be planned and calm. Good luck @Laurels34

It's 3.10 and I'm awake on the sofa. I've been scrolling on my phone since midnight. It's a bad habit I need to break. If I was in bed I could just fall asleep but I'm on the sofa, fully clothed, teeth need brushing, and I'm annoyed with myself for not going to bed three hours ago. Totally my own fault.

I’m a wee bit stressed about work. Not too bad but a lot to do tomorrow and just want the day to start to get it done.

super stressed about work - I’ve not slept well in months. I hate how terrible everything feels between 1-4.30 am which is when I am generally awake.

@SaltySeaMaidengo brush your teeth and get in bed!

Work stress is not good. Well, DC snoring, so I may try to get comfy and 😴

I wish we didn't have to sleep

Same here!

Just home from a Samaritans shift and having a cup of tea. Need to be up for work at 7am though!!

Woken up by eldest DC wanting company so hopped into her bed. Youngest woke up, wanted to be taken up to our bed. Managed to get back to sleep only to have a nightmare that jolted me awake. Wide awake for the last hour.,,,

My husband died six weeks ago and since then I’ve been waking up most nights around 3am, and unable to get back to sleep

Sorry for your loss.

Woke up at 1:30 , does not seem worth going back to sleep now lol

Off work for a few days, very busy. But will catch up on sleep.

Coffee time ...

I’m recovering from a major issue with my back, the pain is lessening but it’s still crap. I can walk without a stick again thankfully, last time this happened I had to use one for 3 months, this is close to 3 weeks. But now I have caught DH cold so am having a lemsip. Will be cancelling physio when they open. I’m not up to much and it’s such a stinking cold the physio as in close proximity would be at a high risk of catching.

Nursing pregnancy nausea I'm 8weeks. The nausea eases when I eat, so I'm just awake eating some fruit.

Hey, bit of a weird one, but burnt, like black, toast helped me

Because the cat brought me a mouse! Seriously maimed but didn't want to eat it, DH has just dispatched of it with a hammer in a bag....

I have a situation at work which blew up yesterday. My boss is involved and the atmosphere is horrendous. I've not slept properly for days.

Sorry to hear of everyone else's worries.

I was just woken up by a severe pain in my right eye,
It's hurting to blink :-(.
I've taken my dog out and now put the TV on.

2month old is so happy and smiling away after feed and nappy change. Being to darn adorable! 🥰😭

I always wake up at night but when anxiety hits really bad like today, can't get back to sleep.

Fresh Ginger tea worked for me and scientifically backed.

On an early shift anyway, but I shouldn't have had that cup of tea at 7pm when I'm going to bed at 9pm. Also I got a cramp at 2.30am, then I needed the loo...my alarm was at 4am so I gave up sleeping at about 3...
