What's keeping you awake?

[lils20252]

I really cannot sleep tonight. Perhaps it's the thought of returning to work Monday! I'm also aware my partner will be proposing this year and all I can think about is wedding ideas and Worried we will look ridiculous due to our height differences - I'm 5'2 and he's 6'6... first world problems!

Anyway, that's why I'm up and I'm wide awake worrying about nothing substantial.

Anyone else?

I'm up! A combination of things. I've been ill this week, on the mend but took some paracetamol this eve that has added caffeine. One of my parents is in hospital so I'm worrying about that. And .my nan is on my mind, I'm still very much grieving after losing her a few months ago. So all of that, I'm very restless and wide awake even though I'm back to work tomorrow.

Exciting about the proposal - I have to say I've never once thought anyone looks ridiculous due to height difference on their wedding day or any other day! Try not to get caught up in the stress of wedding planning, easier said than done I know!

FIL is in hospital and my SIL has frontal lobe dementia, she is now in a nurhome, only 58 and for the first time she didn't recognise me when I visited her today, I'm heartbroken.

My DH is 6.3 and I'm 5.1, we looked fine in our wedding photos, v.exciting!

I am awake, have 2 younger teens on a sleepover, who have just asked that I watch and record their dance routine to Rasputin. It was very energetic and now I am lying in bed humming the tune! Not back at work yet, so not too bothered.

I'm ill. Can't breathe through my nose and constantly coughing! I'm now on the sofa because I kept waking everyone up.

I'm in a hotel and it's right next to a motorway which is busy all the time. So annoying!

My 7 year old son is keeping me awake. He's autistic and his sleep is notoriously awful. He fell asleep at 10pm , which is early for him and now he's up again. I've attempted to resettle him , so fingers crossed. This is a pretty standard night for us , some nights he's up until 1am then he sleeps though. You never know what you're going to get.

I hope you all manage to get some sleep.

@moanyhole that's so sad about your sil 58 is no age at all to be dealt that hand is a harsh one.

Toddler. Split nights for 2 weeks straight. Losing the will to live.

I have raging sinusitis in one side of my face. Hurts a lot and I can’t work out which side to sleep on.

Then I went to sunset my light and somehow it’s rejigged itself so all I can do is turn on and off the flipping radio!

Tinnitus I may go insane it’s SO LOUD

Adult DD gone back home after Xmas. Feeling very sad and lonely. I won’t see her again for months and months.

Um, childlessness while everyone me is having babies.

Op you will both look fantastic together in your wedding photos and @moanyhole I'm sorry you've had such a hard day, it's so painful :(

@moanyhole that is tragic. I mean, it’s awful at any age, but to be so young. I’m so sorry.

For me, it’s wicked heartburn, upset stomach, peri menopausal insomnia and bloody police sirens (we’re miles out of the town centre so God knows why they have to have them on rather than just their lights; there is no other traffic). I’m up for work at 6 and will be expected to use my brain to do stuff, so that’ll be fun.

Bloody steroids. Had chemo this afternoon with a big dose of them so sleep is evading me! Solidarity to you all.

I slipped down some icy steps and have a badly bruised tailbone. Also my parents are not doing well and I'm worried about them.

My flight take off window was cancelled so waiting to be given a new window. Have a few hundred people sitting behind me who aren't happy.

My one year old won't sleep! He's been unsettled and out of routine over Xmas. He's currently led in my bed but the second inget comfy he wakes up

32 weeks pregnant and all day and now all night my baby is treating me as a kick/punch bag! Keeps waking me up😂

I've had a jumpy night, I do have them very occasionally (thankfully few and far between!). I'm awaiting an app to investigate sleep apnea.

It's weird, I usually sleep like a baby, just not tonight! I've been off work since 19/12, back to work tomorrow (today!), but only a couple of hours WFH. Thankfully not starting that till 10, so can have a slight lie in if I finally settle!

Sorry to those of you having a rough time x

I'm in work. On NICU. With a very sick baby who's keeping me busy. Busy it's making the shift go fast!

Peri meno and upcoming 50th thoughts and life reflections!
fell asleep around 11.30 and been up since 2 😩
might read a book for a bit and try to nod off that way

I woke up and have started having contractions at 41+4... I hope this progresses so we can meet our baby!

Toddler 💤

I'm up. I have a very lazy and self centred DP and the realisation of this has drained me of my spark for many years now. I've turned a blind eye to so many things, but now I have had enough. I can't sleep and I miss my Mum (she passed in 2018). I wish I could talk to her about it. She never liked DP and clearly with good reason.

I'm wide awake for no reason and now my brains thinking of all sorts and I can't get back to sleep.
My four granddaughters are here having a sleepover, and the six year olds asleep next to me. All I can hear are little snores.
