Anyone else up tonight?

[GoodThings2025]

I'm going away tomorrow and have not fecking packed. I've also got some admin to do.

2.30 - 4 admin. 4 - 5 pack in an hour. Taxi at 5.15. Flight at 7.30. Gah.

Anyone else waking or not sleeping yet?

Just me then 😂

Where are you off to? Enjoy 🙂

I am up. Am in a snd e with a very ill dh.
Lots of waiting.

You are going to be EXHAUSTED

Have a lovely time. Sadly I had a really horrible dream (think Saw type serial killer captured in the house etc etc) and don’t want to go back to sleep for a bit.

I’m awake. I have a complicated inheritance conundrum keeping me awake.

🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

What started off as waking up with my unwell child seemed to have turned into sleep dysfunction for me. I’m on day 7 of not sleeping before 3am and also suffering with the virus my child has! 😬

Yes. Grenade just blew thru my family. I've lost touch with 10 close relatives including 4 kids, in 4 months. And it's Xmas. Feeling sad, feeling like I have to be strong. I feel like I'm paying off some heavy karmic debt my whole life. I just wish we could all be happy. I am just incredibly grateful for my parents, my 2 brothers, my son and my cats. I'm tired but wired. Thank you mumsnet mum's for being here to talk when life gets a little rough for us all. I have met some beautiful souls on here x

Wow, I'm sure you'll get it all done but that is leaving it very last minute I must say.
I'm the opposite, when I have an upcoming trip I will open up a suitcase on spare bed a couple of weeks before and keep adding to it every now and then. Usually by a week to go I'm fully packed.

Genuine question, how can you leave it all so late?

Awake with a poorly child. I say with, shes gone back to sleep with the assistance of magic calpol but I can't settle for wanting to keep an eye on her.

Hope your DH is ok

Hope everyone who is up with someone poorly or ill themselves manage to get some sleep and everyone feels better in the morning

Best wishes to all of you looking after or watching someone ill. Was wondering why I’m awake and realise I didn’t take my night medication that among other things puts me to sleep, just taken them D’oh

Gave a good trip @GoodThings2025 hope you can get some sleep on the journey

Is the flight atleast to go somewhere nice?

After a couple of night of toddler being up not well she's feeling a bit better and slept well so far and now I'm up unwell 🙄

I'm up, about to go to work.

Hope you can sleep on the flight!

I'm up. Had 2 beers on Saturday while watching the boxing, so naturally I'm rendered an insomniac for the next few days - the joys of growing up I guess. Have a lovely holiday 😊

Hope your dh will be ok. And 🌷 to others whose loved ones are unwell or indeed themselves.

@GoodThings2025 have a lovely holiday.

Im awake for a variety of reasons. Mistake I made that’s costing me dearly. And I don’t know what to do. Dh is supportive but it’s my own fault so my problem to sort out.

my mum is moving today and I’m out tonight. Can’t cancel either. Bad timing…

I've finished an admin thing. Now have to pack in 30 minutes for a week's holiday. My god 😂

Raging insomnia. I have the odd night where I'm not in any way fatigued despite running around like a blue-arsed fly all day and having been up since the crack of dawn. This is one of them unfortunately.

No wonder you couldn’t sleep with those things to do in the back of your mind. Why not pack earlier? and before you go to sleep?

Good luck with the packing have a lovely holiday!

Up since 3am

Cats wake me at this time every morning

I'm averaging 4 hours sleep per night

It is killing me

My dog briefly barked at something outside at 2am which woke me up, this was a rare night where I thought I was tired enough to sleep without my sleeping tablets, however as soon as I was awake my mind started whirring around every conceivable disaster that could happen and I even made myself cry imagining my dog dying. Had just dozed back off and DH’s alarm woke me again at 4.30 for him to go to work in London today. He let the dogs up when he left and I am now crushed under the weight of 2 33kg Labradors 🤣 early tonight, lots of coffee this morning!

Been awake for an hour or so, I’ve been waking around this time for the last ten day and I’m exhausted. I’m overthinking a project, but it’d be a lot easier to deal with if I could just sleep more.

I’m usually up by 4/5 but had bad dreams all night so feeling pretty rubbish. Good to escape the dream though. Also have a possible chest infection so feeling sorry for myself.

The crystal clear clarity of adrenaline got me through 😂. I had to work up the wire due to factors outside my control.

I also have a packing list on my phone so it's literally just find and pack until list is done. Even for me this was last minute though.
