Insomnia - anyone else tonight

I was up late reading documents for work. Need about an hour to switch off but have to get up very early to do a report. Need to feel tired. Anyone else - what are you awake for?

I'm wide awake. Got my 12 week scan tomorrow. Terrified!

Hope you sleep soon.

Yep and it’s my own fault - lately I’ve been coming to bed ready for bed but then have an hour scrolling TikTok etc which is overstimulating me , then I’ve got into bad habit of thinking might as well stay up til midnight to do wordle / waffle etc which further stimulates me. I think I need to invest in a new alarm clock and start to leave my phone charging downstairs not on bedside cabinet !

Can't sleep due to break up of marriage. After being pushed DH finally admitted that's what he wants. I have a thread on this. He's been snoring in the spare room so he's OK!

Interested in this thread?

Wide awake here thanks to a radical hysterectomy because of cancer and now I’m going through the menopause.

That's awful. I'm so sorry. You must be feeling rough. Puts my problem into perspective a bit to say the least.

I had a cesarean this morning and I've been exhausted all day, room full of people and a screaming baby. He's now flat out milk drunk, but I'm wide awake too wired to sleep !

I had same back in November but thankfully mass was only borderline - hoping you get back to full health soon , it’s a tough surgery !

@Mamofboys5972 Massive congratulations to you 💐. My grandson was born a week ago and he is absolutely beautiful.
I am wide awake actually worrying about work ,but am also looking forward to cuddles tomorrow.

Hello, pains in my legs keeping me awake. I have blood tests tomorrow to try and find out why.

Wide awake with endometriosis period pains. Drugged off my tits but it’s not helped

Horrible illness you have my sympathies. Are you on codeine right now? Are you getting the investigations / treatment you need? X

CalicoPusscat · 19/03/2025 01:48

Yes a lot on emotionally. I keep losing my temper which is not a good thing!

Just family death and associated fucking nightmare. It'll work out in the end.

Peace and hugs to those that need it.

I’m on mst which is morphine based but it’s a weak dose. They give me 14 codeine tablets to last a month!! I live in Wales and I have been on a list for surgery since 2019.

My specialist retired in lockdown so I think I was ditched off the list and I finally managed to get an appointment with the other specialist and I am back to square one with them warning that there is a 7 year list now!

Me too. You will feel better soon. Get your HRT sorted. You need oestrogen only.

I'm being blanked by my partner. I made a harmless judgement call, turned out to be wrong in their eyes, ot told "you f%cked up", but I'm probably going to be blanked for another week as normal until i beg for forgiveness. Been 24 hours already... that's my insomnia.

Awake as always at this hour due to lifelong insomnia.made worse by peri meni. I do wish I could just sleep like a normal person

chipmonkmusic · 19/03/2025 04:29

I've been wide awake since 3.30.

It's my own fault as I went to bed at 7.30 because I was so tired (had a day working in the garden on and off) and fell straight asleep.

It's a good job I'm self-employed and can set my own work schedule !
