Awake!! Anyone else?

32 replies

Springflowersyay · 27/04/2025 01:01

I’ve had a really busy week and I’m exhausted. I’m not getting a relaxing/recharging weekend.
Saturday I was on the go all day, working and doing a very intense all day course.
Had some (quite a bit) of dark chocolate Easter egg about 10pm and now I’m wide awake!
I always forget chocolate does this to me now I’m older……..
Equally busy/long day coming up tomorrow and I’m sooooo awake……. But tired too….. Anyone else suffering with me??

I'm still up but not suffering, eating crisps, I'm a night owl regardless what I'm doing the next day.
Enjoy.

I need to ask - what is a crisp sandwich? Is it like it says - you put crisps in between 2 slices of bread?

I had crisps earlier too, but sure that hasn’t contributed to my awakeness……

Oh God I forgot about crisps sandwiches,used to love them, gonna have 1 tomorrow

Yep! I am only 39 but I am convinced that my insomnia is peri related. Every month without fail the 4 days before my period starts I simply cannot sleep. It's been 5 months now. My mum didn't start menopause until 48 though and I've read it's genetic. Who knows. Either way, I am shattered, haven't slept well since Wednesday and still wide awake now. Yayyyy.

Oxo01 · 27/04/2025 01:33

@Cosycover Have a crisp sandwhich 😀

Enko · 27/04/2025 01:33

Also awake just can't drop.off. not sure why perhaps because it's Monday soon and I've been off for a week and also been a bit unwell so slept a lot

Deebee90 · 27/04/2025 01:34

I’m awake , can’t sleep as I have horrible thoughts, not been well for a while and having a camera procedure on Tuesday to see what’s happening, all I’m thinking is the worse so can’t sleep. Anxiety and stress really is the worse.

Tacocatgoatcheesepizza · 27/04/2025 01:35

Yes - jet lag after getting back from holiday on Friday evening. Am absolutely wide awake.

Yep with butter
if I had the choice I would have had egg mayo with ready salted crisps in

amylou8 · 27/04/2025 01:39

I've just woken up, but been asleep since 8 so not the end of the world. Think I'll get up at 2 and do so work, the joys of being self employed, then maybe take a stroll round the carboot sale at 6 as its promising to be a nice day. Hope you all get some rest soon.

CatsWhiskerz · 27/04/2025 01:41

I stupidly had a coffee with cream and rum tonight ... only got myself to blame ... but it was bloody fabulous!

CalicoPusscat · 27/04/2025 01:46

Eating crisps here too!

Watching a film based on Stephen King, the dead zone.

PoopingAllTheWay · 27/04/2025 01:52

Awake here, always am at this time to be honest

I watched the Eubank and Benn boxing match and had a creme egg
Other half is watching a old Ian Drury concert on the tv and im sitting scrolling on here

overthinker001 · 27/04/2025 02:05

Feeding the baby eating the new Harry Potter haribo which are very nice actually

Oxo01 · 27/04/2025 02:15

@lunalovegood25 That's sounds interesting, I usually would have butter and ready salted crisps with extra salt ! Maybe i will try the egg mayo with it.

GenerousGardener · 27/04/2025 02:19

Wide awake. Finished work at 10pm, home, supper, bed. Every joint and muscle hurts and it’s keeping me awake. Paracetamol won’t touch it and I can’t take ibuprofen. Just made myself a decaf coffee and two slices of toast. It’s going to be a long night.

Oxo01 · 27/04/2025 02:21

Well I'm.off to bed now hope you all get some sleep eventually.

burntoutnurse · 27/04/2025 03:08

Awake and have a heavy cold/flu type virus, sore throat, cough keeping me awake, earache

monicagellerbing · 27/04/2025 03:15

Im awake. My 8yo DD has decided she’s going back to newborn default and for the past 3 nights has been up and down all pissing night with excuse after excuse as to why she can’t possibly sleep. I’m absolutely raging but trying not to lose it at her, she’s currently in bed with her brother so hopefully she’ll finally fall asleep. I’ve ended up in tears. I had a migraine this evening and it’s the first night for years (literally) my DH has been out with his friends so I’ve been alone dealing with her. Typical!

CalicoPusscat · 27/04/2025 03:29

I was hoping to get some rest but then stomach ache started! Typical.

Piratepearl · 27/04/2025 03:41

Unwell with some sort of virus with the worst sore throat. all this talk of crisp sandwiches in making me hungry and wondering whether the salty crunchiness might actually feel quite nice scratching down my throat . Took some paracetamol an hour ago that has caffeine in it was also a mistake!

sashh · 27/04/2025 03:45

I'm often awake early, usually I'm int he café, virtual fry ups are on the menu this morning.

Oh and ham with smoky bacon crisps is my go to.

Quacking4it · 27/04/2025 04:32

I'm awake! I have chronic pain which wakes me. Waiting for my painkillers to kick in
