Why are you awake?

[millmoo]

why can’t you sleep? I’ll go 1st.
I’m wide awake as too much on my mind and just can’t seem to drop off!!

I have awful regurgitation and pregnant. Thanks alot HG / hietus hernia. Woke up a few times feeliing like im going to choke. Sat up right, burped and still got food coming up. Boooooo

I hope you live in a detached house!!

Me- family issues, plus too hot. Had the fam on but was then too cold 😂

I always have one night just before my period where I don’t sleep a wink - guess it’s tonight this month!!

Stupid fucking neurological condition (Functional Neurological Disorder if anyone cares 😂). It keeps me awake most nights with lovely symptoms such as gigantic electric shocks in my head and heart, feeling like I'm having a heart attack, etc.

Bloody great it is

Chronic insomnia. And restless legs. (Since menopause).

I'm iron deficient which may be the cause (though I have my doubts). But I've a hell of a time tolerating iron tablets.

@BrownTroutBluesAgain haha, that is a relief as I had just convinced myself that his entire hall of residence would hate him - and only maternal bond was saving him from total social isolation. He’s singing now 🙄 - does have a lovely voice but jeez please go to bed!!

Have you tried the mouth spray ?
you can regulate the dosage better

It's 4.24 where I am on holiday. Dh is coughing so I got up for some water for him and had some too. He's been like it all holiday.

I'm going to attempt to get back off. Good luck all those who need to sleep.

Insomnia.

@Raccoonsmacaroons no but luckily attached neighbours are away this weekend. Windows are open though so I am bracing for the street WhatsApp group to start trying to track down the night time violin player!

Bad dream. Took me ages to wake up from it. Quite fancy a cup of tea now…

Awake at 2.29 because my partner and I broke up this week

When ours is home he sleeps in the furthest room from ours

when chosing it I tricked him to thinking it was so much nearer the kitchen and how great that would be 😗

@DuchessedOrleans me too! Could you make me one too and bring it up to me please? 🤭

Cystitis

Same here, the pain is bad tonight. I hope yours eases off soon.

Cheers for the recommendation. I've just bought some Iron Bisglycinate to try as it's supposed to be gentler on your system. But I'll give the oral spray a go as well.

I have a type of migraine that makes me intensely tired for several days. I sleep but wake exhausted and in pain and end up more or less passing out several times during the day. This goes on for 2 or 3 days. Then I wake up feeling fine, more than fine, almost hyper energetic and alert and then I feel no tiredness at all through the day, and come bedtime can’t sleep. Which is why I am awake now. I did take a magnesium tablet at around 7pm, but no use.

Side effects of WLI. I pushed my luck with eating on Friday night and the chickens have come home to roost.

to hot, toddler unsettled so brought their mattress down stairs where its cooler cannot sleep as giant gnat somewhere in the room

Everything else in your post is irrelevant once you get to the part of there being a giant GNAT in your room!! I'd not be able to settle!

Is there a husband/partner/teenager/cat that can solve this problem for you?

Just got one of ours to dispose of a few moths and a small crane fly looking specimen earlier on, I genuinely hate this weather

Edit: one of our cats I meant. I don't have multiple husbands and partners. I'm depressed enough as it is 😂

When I sleep I lose more hours of being concious my head tells me in the witching hours.
Probably a feeling of morality.

I’ve been on call the last two nights. I went to bed extra early in case I was called out again, but apparently this is enough sleep 😆

Boiling

Breastfeeding newborn & obsessively googling sleeping bag tog charts to check he's not too hot in this weather (is 1 tog too much with nothing else on?? :/
