To wonder if anyone slept properly last night

I had a horrendous night last night, virtually no sleep at all. Everyone I have spoken to today says the same, is there something in the air? Other than the Saharan dust?

Me too bowlersarm!

newsecretidentity · 03/04/2014 19:57

Yep, crappy night last night as well as the three nights previous. Dragging now!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 03/04/2014 19:58

Awful night here too - DCs wouldn't settle, were up in the night and then up at 5.30 this morning. DH and I slept badly in between that.

I did wonder whether it was the pollution.

I generally have insomnia and slept one of my best nights ever for the past 6 months last night!

RummidgeGeneral · 03/04/2014 19:59

Bad night here too. I put it down to taking decongestents too near bedtime.

PrinceRogersNelson · 03/04/2014 20:00

I slept badly last two nights, but I have my period so never sleep well then.

Owllady · 03/04/2014 20:01

I must hAve git up about 5 times to use the toilet
Which is miles away, on another floor

ToriaPumpkin · 03/04/2014 20:01

Bad night here too, heavily pregnant and full of a cold I can't take anything for. I spent at least an hour between 1 and 2 trying out different positions for my neck and throat to see if they made it any easier to breathe.

Took hours to get to sleep then slept fitfully and woke early. Have bad cough and dust not helping.

BeyondIsBloodOfTheDragon · 03/04/2014 20:02

Hang on, I'm one of those who had a good night last night (the prior three, not so much), but I'm sure I saw a facebook post about "the loudest thunder ever" at 2.30am?

I shall investigate forthwith...

spiderlight · 03/04/2014 20:06

I slept really well, apart from a horrible dream about DH throwing me out for ever on Christmas day for being 'Vast and tent-like' (I am neither...I hope!)

Prometheus · 03/04/2014 20:06

DS has asthma and usually coughs a lot in the night which keeps me awake. However, last night we all slept through, with no coughing, until almost 7am (which is a mega lie-in). And we have sahara dust everywhere here (car and house windows are covered).

BelleOfTheBorstal · 03/04/2014 20:07

I got to bed at one, then woke up at three/three thirty. I had really bad indigestion.

scrivette · 03/04/2014 20:08

I couldn't sleep either and typically the dog and DS slept through all night but I was awake for about two hours - most unlike me.

BeyondIsBloodOfTheDragon · 03/04/2014 20:10

Aha. Aliens on twitter. Obviously it was aliens.

I generally sleep badly, but was worse than usual list night. I did have had bad news yesterday though, so assume its that.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 03/04/2014 20:12

I had a terrible sleep due to my newborn but when I should have been drifting off between feeds I found myself panicking about the Ebola outbreak ! That's what sleep deprivation does to you I suppose

CloverHeart · 03/04/2014 20:13

Woke once an hour, every hour without fail. Maybe the pollution did get to me Confused

LineRunner · 03/04/2014 20:17

I was woken at 3am and taken by grey creatures in shiny silver suits to a spacecraft where I was probed up me bum till morning, and then they dropped me off back home.

changeforthebetter · 03/04/2014 20:18

DD took 4 hours to go to sleep last night Sad

ExcuseTypos · 03/04/2014 20:19

I had a dreadful night sleep. I have got a cold but I've also got a sore throat and cough which only seem to happen at night.

Onsera3 · 03/04/2014 20:20

Bad night (week!) for DS and us.

ExcuseTypos · 03/04/2014 20:20

LineRunner- have you got their number? I could do with a bit of probing.
