Anybody Awake?

I have indigestion & am feeling a bit unsettled. It’s still very warm here in Cornwall. Vowed to have a break from online shopping but have ordered 2 Conturve camis with built in bra & a pair of sage green sandals from George ( I have the black ones & also want to get the leopard print). So comfortable! Trying to stay off Vinted. There are quite a few parcels waiting at the PO. They’re starting to know me very well in there!

I'm awake and also have some tummy troubles. Sipping on icy cold powerade and watching Judge Judy.

I'm up as petsitting and we had a storm at 1.30am and both pets were terrified. They're now asleep again but I'm stuck here both tired but not feeling able to sleep - too hot still.

I’m up. Have ear infection which has blocked both ears and given me a stabbing pain in one. It’s utterly miserable. I’m sorry you’re both suffering too.

Really ought to get some sleep as have a packed day tomorrow but ibuprofen isn’t helping at all.

Doing life admin is a good use of insomnia! I'm awake as I'm just getting over the worst bout of diarrhoea, I slept from 5pm to 1.30am. I finally feel slightly better which I am so happy about. Also a strange mix of wired, but hungry with no energy still.

I'm awake

From heat

29 degrees inside

I'm so uncomfortable and really can't sleep

I’m awake too. Just re started my diet as to my horror I have put on two stone having lost six. I had managed to keep it off for a year, but now it’s all systems go again. But I’m hungry!. Also still very hot. Rain predicted tomorrow. We need some to clear the air and my garden is wilting, poor flowers!! Still, at least we are not in Venezuela. Those poor poor people.

I'm awake. Slept briefly earlier but woke up and couldn't get off again and now we have a terrific thunderstorm right overhead.

Think I might make a cuppa.

I’m awake. Dropping 16 year old at his friend’s house for a post GCSE trip to France. How lovely for them. It’s not quite the same when you are getting up at a ridiculous hour to ensure someone else is getting on a plane and not you 😩

I’m awake. It’s just so hot.

Dutchhouse14 · 27/06/2026 04:14

Im awake, woke up to go to the loo and now cant get to sleep.
Im covered in midge bites that are itching like hell, trying not to scratch.
Dawn chorus has just started

I'm awake. It has cooled here a little so can cope better. Son is out tonight so I slept from around 12-4am with my bedroom door propped open and the upstairs windows all open for a through breeze. Slept naked on top of the covers - wonderful! I have a bit of heartburn which is keeping me awake now.

I don't mind it so much on a day off but I do hope those of you with a busy day ahead have managed to nod off now.

Madmother63 · 27/06/2026 04:21

I'm awake. I've slept completely naked downstairs on the sofa with the backdoor open. I've just woken up. I've ordered a flat sheet to pick up from Argos. My DD and DP is staying tonight, so the sheet is for them to sleep under as the duvet will be far too thick! I'm going to try to get back to sleep. Hope you poor people who are ill, feel better Smile

So sorry - ear pain is awful. Do you have any paracetamol? If you combine it with ibuprofen, it’s pretty effective.

Wow that is brave sleeping with the back door open

After having little sleep past few nights even with fan and window open I’ve moved to the cooler front part of the house to the box room. Had an ice pack wrapped in a towel on my feet. Apart from getting up to go to the toilet (twice) I slept much better. I forgot that the sun attracts the back of the house the most where I usually sleep.

Thank you ❤️ I found some Sudafed and managed to get a couple of hours 3ish to 5ish. Have antibiotics from a doctors appt yesterday so just praying they work sometime soon…
