I have an annoying Puppy and I'm watching yesterday's Coronation Street.

I can only manage 6 hours sleep! I’ve got to me up in an hour anyway and it’s better than 2/3am like some nights

Monkeytennis97 · 24/10/2024 05:04

Perimenopause insomnia. Listening to the For the Many podcast (the last one sadly). 1 hour 30 until alarm....

I’m getting ready to go to work. I can’t sleep when I know I have to get up early! I start at 7 but like to have a shower and sort the cats out

MattBerningerstrophywife · 24/10/2024 05:08

DS has been up and down shouting/asking for a drink/asking every obscure question under the sun since about 3am, then when I finally settled him I tried to go back to bed but DH was farting and snoring and stinking the room out, so I was too annoyed to go back to sleep.

So I'm on the couch having a cuppa. I have chronic insomnia anyway, so I'm just relieved I managed a couple of hours at least.

Hiddenmnetter · 24/10/2024 05:09

Daughter up at 3am so figured I’d give up trying to get her back to sleep and clean the kitchen

Lovinglife2024 · 24/10/2024 05:09

Baby woke for a feed (first one of the night, normally he has two yay!) and now I can't get back to sleep because of chronic pain.

Washinglinewench29 · 24/10/2024 05:09

Blocked nose, browsing vinted

hobbitum · 24/10/2024 05:10

This is unusual for me. DC wet the bed and after sorting it out I couldn't stop my mind racing so have got up and am having a quiet read.

grafittiartist · 24/10/2024 05:10

Stressing over a party guest list.
Really is keeping me up.

Wildlifeinthedark · 24/10/2024 05:10

Something on the roof - too big to be a bird, probably a fox or badger. Turned all the lights on to scare it away without waking the rest of the family. Not sure whether to sleep again or not.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 24/10/2024 05:12

My toddler woke up so he's in my bed and he's a fidget. My husband tried to move him back but he's having none of it.

billysboy · 24/10/2024 05:13

Just having a cup of tea , best time if the day an hour to myself before anyone cocks anything up with my day

INeverDrinkEnoughWater · 24/10/2024 05:15

Per usual my body has decided to wake up 20 minutes before my alarm. Never sure if this is a good thing or not…

Onyuk100 · 24/10/2024 05:15

Off for a 6am shift start 💤😴🛌

000EverybodyLovesTheSunshine000 · 24/10/2024 05:16

I feel sick. Sore throat woke me up.
So annoying!
I'm going to listen to a podcast.

Alarm went off at 5am. Heading to the gym at 5.45 and need a coffee first.

ShopoholicIn · 24/10/2024 05:18

Haven't slept for more than half an hour just had a cup of sleep tea, but it is not helping... need to move house with 2 little kids and I am stressing out on how I will manage.

blindasaba51981 · 24/10/2024 05:18

I always wake just before 5am sometimes earlier. I enjoyed the peace and mumsnet/catching up on social media/news before my day starts.

itsgettingweird · 24/10/2024 05:18

Just done the swim training run.

I'm now getting back into bed and my alarm is set for 7am as it's someone's else's turn to so the return journey!

Insidenumber09 · 24/10/2024 05:19

Awake as usual-terrible sleeper. Got toddler in bed with me and Husband has just set off on a 3 hour drive to Carlisle for work. Scrolling until little boy wants to get up (likely 06.00) then will feed knob head puppy and cat.
