Still up?

[CalicoPusscat]

I had such a long, stressful day yesterday that I thought I'd be passed out all night but instead I went to bed early and woke up early (about 2 hours ago).

So just got a cup of tea and mint viscount biscuits and went back to bed to watch patriots day. Any other non sleepers?

Yes I’m awake. Have been since 2.50! So annoying as I have to be up for work at 6.30 and will probably be fast asleep then. 😬

I keep waking up at night due to work stress I think.

I am on here to hopefully make myself tired. Not working so far!

I am. Bloody menopause. Just given up trying to get to sleep.

Me too. Most nights wake at 3-4am

Yup me too...though I haven't slept yet. Sigh! DH falls asleep at the drop of a hat 🙄

And I have a work presentation today. Sigh.

@Lentilweaver I'm peri, although I've always been an insomniac.

@PussInBin20 oh that's really rubbish if you have work soon. Just struggle through today then hopefully you can flop out.

Off for more tea and biccies shortly, no point in me sleeping. I've done several washes and need to go to the launderette at 7am to use the dryer.

Yep. I think I'm staying up now. Luckily no work or indeed kids today. I say kids, one 28 and one 16 (at Dad's). I'll probably go to bed for the night at 4pm! Had eldest over last night so that made a lovely change for both of us. Grown up talk - can you lend me £20 Mum 🤣🙄
I really want to do the washing up, but we're in tiny terraced houses so I'm just sitting quietly. I bet I'll be asleep come sunrise!

I might start on the laundry!

Me too! My 6 year old came through looking for a cuddle, promptly threw up all over the bed. She's asleep next to me now but hot and fidgety. No school tomorrow, clearly. I should be sleeping while I can but apparently brain's not getting the memo.

I'm awake too. I wake a lot at 3 or 4am. I'm stressed by the world situation. Had a row with DH who's always scrolling or doing something for someone else. If I say anything, he denies it.
Just finished Matt Haigh, the Life Impossible, loved it, hate the gap after a good book. Mumsnet is a cool place, almost like a good book. Hope you all get some sleep, me too.

What a coincidence..I was recommended The Life Impossible by a friend just last week!

Yup. Being kicked by a 5 year old who came in as she is scared of witches. DH has decamped elsewhere...

Yep, good old menopause - my insomnia has been terrible recently. Got to be up for work at 6.30…

I've been awake for an hour and would kill for a mint viscount

@scaredysquiggle I wish I could get one to you!

@CalicoPusscat
I'm going to suggest you put the kettle back on, make us all a cup of tea & pass round the mint viscounts.

Been awake since 4.30.

Solidarity sisters!

Up since 3:20am and that’s my LO just getting back off to sleep.

Sleep regression is real in this house at the minute 😞

Slept from 11 to 1 30, awake since. Full work day ahead

It can feel very lonely in the wee small hours so, as grim as this is, it’s reassuring to know we’re not alone.

Just up now for morning walk.

Really not good eating biscuits through the night!
