Who else is awake... come tell me why?

[MessyNeate]

DH's taxi will be collecting him at 2am. He's off back to sea for 12 weeks 🥲

No point sleeping until he's gone. So I'm watching MAFS UK whilst he's in the shower and packing up the last few little bits

I have a pretty busy day tomorrow so hoping once he's left I can get some sleep, I'm always sad when he goes though. This time home we got married and went on honeymoon 😁

High winds here keeping me up last hour. Hoping they dye down soon :(

Congratulations on your wedding! It must be very hard to see him go OP. Look forward to that Christmas meeting. That’s practically a film script in embryo.

I’ve been working, trying to catch up after being ill. Got a snotty email from my boss which has really annoyed me. I told my mother I was going to see Young Musician of the Year on catch-up as I couldn’t watch it as broadcast earlier this evening … she kindly texted me all about who won and what they played. Like, spoiler alert thanks mum!

Now I’m putting off going to bed in order to put off: not being able to sleep for annoyance at boss, and feeling awful tomorrow morning due to lack of sleep, and having to deal with issue with boss, and all the other ridiculous things which will happen at work.

I assume he's in the Navy and therefore it's his job. So he does sort of have to.

Because it's his job

On holiday in Mexico it’s 8.47 here I have come up to the room with daughter as she has a headache (she’s 14) I’m having a gin on the balcony

I came to bed very early and fell asleep almost immediately. Now been awake since 12.15am worrying about work and husband is beside me snoring very loudly. Grr.

Waiting for a slice of pizza at Disney world broadwalk!

4 Yr old DC has just snuck into my Bed with a high temp and cough. Have a feeling it will be Covid and I'll be taking the day off Work tomorrow!

Autistic child having one of his nights where he literally doesn’t sleep at all. Second night in a row. I’m on my knees with exhaustion.

Don’t think he’s going on holiday!

Woke up because I need a wee and I can’t be bothered to get out of bed and actually go!

Yep. Just waiting for my friend to take us to the airport. We are off to Tallinn and then to Riga on Thursday.

I'm awake for no good reason

10 week old finally went to sleep at 12am. He's in the next to me crib. He kept waking for the first 2 hours and waking me up too, presumably my body has decided it's no use trying to sleep. I'm also hungry (breastfeeding).

Trying to decide whether to sneak downstairs for a snack or attempt sleep again.

Husband has gone away with work until Wednesday night so I'm solo parenting til then and DESPERATELT need to sleep now...any tips appreciated...

Coughing myself awake. Been ill for over two weeks now and just cannot manage a whole night without a cough waking me. Have to be up at 6.15 to get ready for work. Going to be shattered.

Up with my 10 month old. Went back fo work 5 weeks ago. Have just worked the weekend, baby woke at 1:12 and hasn't settled properly since.

Pregnant, woken up by a strange dream and also reflux + indigestion and can’t get back to sleep. So tired 😭

Goodbyes must be tough @MessyNeate. Sending a hug x

My house flooded at high tide 😑 again 🙄

4 year old just vomited, now asleep next to me so I'm wide awake waiting with a bowl to see if there's more 😫. She'd been awake 2 hours before complaining of headache, tummy ache and 2 hours later we found out why. Sooo tired.

I have covid and woke up with a fever. Have just taken 2 paracetamol. Feeling anxious because symptoms started on Friday and with any normal illness I'd be on the mend by now, but this is still going strong. I have so much to do this week and just laying here worrying.

I only tested because I found an old kit. I didn't have it first time around! I pride myself on rarely getting ill, but wow, this has floored me.

Comforting to know others are out there!

@Thommasina sending a handhold. Covid here too, started Friday, still feverish and have moved into dodgy tummy phase. I’m a bit scared this time too as normally bat virus’ away pretty quickly. I’m a NHS worker so forced to take some time off now which is a relief in some ways. Really hope you feel better soon x

I’m in a hospital ward with someone snoring like a foghorn. Earplugs don’t work, noise cancelling headphones do work but are too uncomfortable to sleep when wearing. I’m having surgery in the morning and could really have done with even a couple of hours sleep.

I'm often awake at this time. I run a virtual café for other insomniacs.

I'm at work - police control room but would probably be awake still if I was at home as usually still awake into the early hours.

DH tossing and turning, aching joints (perimenopause probably, plus definitely Achilles issues which I need to address). Plus 4yo woke up at 3am and I've only just got her back to sleep.

I'm tempted to stay up now to be honest. Only had three hours of sleep but I've got a big work day so might as well just up and get on with it soon
