Are you awake? What are you doing?

[burntoutnurse]

Come tell me!

insomnia kicking in. But also had a job interview today and got the job! Which is far less stressful that my current job. But worried about telling my current work friends etc

Im sat up in bed watching the good wife. Playing prison tycoon on my iPad.. riveting stuff

Honestly normally I love it too but it might have all been too much sugar and salt for me tonight so I'm hoping I don't regurgitate! Have to sit still for a bit cross your fingers for me.

I’m a night owl anyway but I’m sitting up watching Will Trent and slowly packing my overnight case as I leave tomorrow for my uncle’s funeral on Friday. It’ll be my first Catholic mass ever. I’m glad I’ll see some family members but just wish it was under nicer circumstances. DH and my DC can’t come so I’m going down with my parents for it. Going to try to enjoy a hotel room to myself tomorrow night too but it’s an early start on Friday which is why we’re travelling tomorrow.

Watching the BBC show Merlin because I can’t sleep. Also I love King Uther. Congratulations on your new job tho!!

Just tell them! If they’re your actual friends they will stay your friend!

Working, just wrapping up tomorrow's English lesson. Now to bed. Congratulations on your new job.

Sorry for your loss

I loved will Trent. That was last weeks binge!

Oh they’ll be sad! Which will tip my hormonal self over the edge!

I need to tell my friends first because management have zero confidentiality and it will fly around all staff once one person knows!

I’ll be sad to leave, I love the team I work with bit the place isn’t the same after 7 years

Paying bills, and trying to work out how to make ends meet.

Congratulations! My sleeping pattern is currently messed up so I'm shopping online. Nothing interesting, just bulk bought some soda crystals. That should send you to sleep.

Headspace is good. It has guided meditations and stories to help you sleep.

Congrats on the new job!

I suffer from insomnia and it’s bad at the moment. DH let me go to bed at 7 (!) whilst he sorted the house and the baby. Baby woke up briefly an hour ago. I’m just doing a couple of admit jobs before I try and get back to sleep (yes, yes I know I shouldn’t be scrolling!!)

Scrolling to try and take my mind off the fact that I’m so hungry, I can’t sleep.

Have also been working on arrangements for a weekend away for my husband’s birthday. The hotel I’ve booked prides itself on being able to fulfill any request so I’m wracking my brain to try and think of what nice things I could do (he’s had a really, REALLY awful year and he’s absolutely lovely so deserves a fabulous birthday and I’ve definitely gone OTT 😬 )

So far I’ve arranged:
Cheeseboard, champagne, balloons, and his favourite cocktail will be waiting in our room on arrival.
Night 1- dinner prepared in our suite by a chef, plus a little birthday cake.
Breakfast delivered to our room the following morning. Going to see if they can add cocktails!
Will spend the day out and about, sightseeing.
Night 2- not sure if we should eat in the hotel restaurant or head out to a nearby restaurant.
Breakfast in bed again before leaving.

It’s all quite food-related, which isn’t helping the hunger pangs!

Insomnia here. I probably won’t sleep at all. So browsing my phone and thinking about the long night ahead. ☘️good luck everyone

Congratulations on the job!

DS is going through sleep regression and has decided to wake up for the past hour. He just can’t seem to fall back to sleep (we’re still in the same room).

In the same boat. Have so much to do tomorrow too

Sounds wonderful!

Fellow insomniacs - I recommend ‘boring books for bedtime’ and ‘lights out library’ podcasts. I’m going to pop one on now. Good luck!

I’ve reached the “I’m annoyed I can’t sleep” stage of the night.

playing ludo with Americans now

Congrats OP!!

I'm up feeding two week old DD2 while snacking on Jelly Babies, biscuits and all other sugary delights to try and keep myself awake.

DD1 is 2.5 and I'm in awe of how quickly I'd forgotten the absolute sleeplessness of these early weeks!

Feeling as though I may boil to death on a post natal ward, while my new baby blissfully sleeps!

All these new cwtchy babies 🥰

Feeding my two week old baby. She’s very hit and miss at night still (naturally!) and it seems tonight is another cluster-feeding, refusing-to-be-put-down night, same as last night. I am VERY tired 😂 🤦🏼‍♀️ older child is 3.5y and slept theough v young and my gosh I have not missed these sleepless nights!
Congratulations on getting your new job!

toddler just threw up a second time

Excellent recommendation @Parteepooper

im currently listening to Listen to Sleep. The chaps voice is everything.

Oh no 🙁

I was too tired to eat dinner last night and had an early night. Now I’m awake starving hungry. Think I might just get up and have breakfast.
