4:45am club, who's up?

[inkgirl]

So its 4:45am a day I'm awake have been the last hour. The reasoning intense all over itchy body. I have a blood test later today to find out what's causing it.

So why are you awake.

The cat just woke me by meowing very loudly. I am hoping to go back to sleep though!

Good luck with the blood test OP. I hope you can get it sorted. Maybe some kind of allergy?

I’m stewing over work things. Fell asleep at midnight and was awake again at 3am 😔

Youngest woke me up and now I can’t get back to sleep as I’m sure the oldest will be up for the day in less than an hour. Good luck with your test, hope they get some answers for what’s causing it

I saw the physio today for my back pain and it always makes it temporarily worse. So I just cant get comfortable in bed. Got to sleep at 1am and woke up at 4am. Suspect I will get back to sleep eventually.

Toothache 😭

Hello 👋 I'm up and itching like mad too! Have you had an antihistamine @inkgirl? Might calm the feeling until your tests, hope you get answers with those.

I always wake up at this time. I'm a morning person. 🤷‍♂️

I’m awake with a cup of tea in my garden-but this is normal for me! I’ve always loved this time of day.

Been Awake since 3, worrying about a new job. Could really do with some more sleep 😴

Up since 340am. Hour tv with a cuppa then at 5am a half hour bike ride to work.

5 week old twins. One is awake.
i had intense itching during pregnancy. I feel your pain.
Eulax cream. (Not to be used in pregnancy)
piriton?
aquaeous cream?

my legs still have scarring from how awful it was. Hope you get some answers

I'm in Melbourne where it's currently 2.05pm BUT I was also awake at 4.45am because it was absolutely freezing. So I hope you have pleasant weather to be awake in at least!

Woke up at 1am feeling queasy, got up, threw up.

Back to bed until 2am, woke up, had the shits.

4.45am exactly, called by DD from her bedroom to say she was scared. Doesn’t know why.

Need to go to her, but back on the toilet again first!

Alarm goes off at 6am for work.

FML.

I am never eating Chinese takeaway again, I KNEW it was a bad idea!!

I fell asleep at 1030pm, after we knocked back the prosecco, 🫠 then was awake at 3am, due to hailstones on the caravan. 🌧
We're going home today and I don't want to leave as it's been a lovely break away! 😭
Gutted.

Anxiety and overthinking. I care for a family member who I helped put to bed at 0230 and haven’t been able to sleep. I know I’ll be shattered later today and that I need to sleep but this doesn’t help anything of course. It’s just one more thing to worry about.

Hotel fire alarm - someone was smoking in bed 🙄

Not working today so obviously awake at 4:40. Good luck with test @inkgirl sympathies @strawberryandtomato mine are older now but six week old twins is a hard slog.

Omg, I would be raging 😠

Me. Woke at 0425 in anticipation of the 0500 alarm/reminder to take antibiotics. I hate being woken by alarms so woke to preempt it. Now listening to BBC Sounds to lull me back to sleep

Get well soon! 🫂

Got an early flight and always wake up before my alarm.

I regularly wake up much earlier than my family. I love being awake when they are asleep. I feel it’s my only real ‘me time’.

I’m on a ward after a mastectomy yesterday. I was asleep but then had obs about 4.15 <— can I use that as a yawn

Waiting to hear why I’ve been summoned at the last minute to a work meeting at 8am (not just me, everyone!) I suspect it’s not to tell us what a great job we’re doing

I’ve had a difficult week with my ex who I coparent with. I woke up as there was a noise outside and now I can’t get back to sleep. I woke up around this time yesterday too. I’m hoping it’s a heat thing then overthinking rather than a peri thing. I’ve been increasingly itchy but I’ve put it down to the heat. I’ve heard that’s a peri thing. Eurex cream that a pp suggested doesn’t do much for me. I hope yours has a solution & it is something quick to solve.

Drought and wildfire worries. Wondering what kind of world our grandchildren have to grow up in and hoping they are going to be ten times smarter than us and find some solutions.
