Anyone up ?

[Itsenoughnow]

Hey lovely mumsnetters so I’m awake and despite trying everything I can to get to sleep I’m wide awake, I think it’s a culmination of loss financial pressure and work stuff but it’s so hard to switch off, anyone else get this ?

Awake here OP, I'm sorry you are having a hard time at the moment.

I am listening to an audiobook to try to distract my brain from all the stuff I need to deal with tomorrow.

Oh I hadn’t thought of an audio book I might give that a go, I really hope things get better for you thanks so much for responding it feels lonely at times like this

I’m awake too, searching for my next audio book. Everything is worse in the night isn’t it.

I’m awake, grandchild seriously ill so my default is to wake at 4am

its what happens, I just end up going with it

white noise sometimes works for me or rain water noise

I'm up too. Worrying about my job as I'm desperate to leave but can't. Are you up for the day or going to try and get back to sleep?

I’m also awake - menopause is horrendous. Frequently wake up around this time usually it’s because I’m anxious about something.

I’m awake with our newborn who came into this world at 2pm this (yesterday) afternoon. Exhausted!

I'm awake now, DH was banging about going to the loo, woke me up, now he's snoring and I'm wide awake!, lots of things going on at the moment so now my minds.racing and can't sleep

Sorry to hear your grandchild is unwell.

Sorry to hear about your grandchild. I'm up for my youngster's training before school.

aw congratulations on your exhausting newborn x

I find it strange how the brain and cortisol works,

we have stuff on our mind and ping wide awake early morning

Swimming?

I have a child with complex medical needs so I am often up in the night. The day started at 3.15 for me as I couldn't get back to sleep after that. I am also prone to overthinking in the wee small hours. Alarm goes in 30 mins now anyway ! Hope others are snoozing peacefully again

Congratulations!

Regular occurrence. Wide awake at 4am . Feel like I could get up and do a days work . Can't as it would wake the whole house. So try white noise or audio lecture.

Up to do my Yoga before starting my day, need to be on 7:15 train. Alarm goes @ 5:15 on Weekdays

Thank you ☺️

Thank you!
