Got woken by one child at midnight and now cannot get back to sleep. I spend my nights being woken by them but now they're all sleeping soundly, along with my snoring husband and I've been wide awake for 2 hours, I've finally broken my rule of not looking at my phone because I'm so BORED!!!

You get used to it (she says, wearily). It is a pain, tho.

MsMustDoBetter · 01/03/2019 03:32

I can't sleep either, too much going on irl.

I was woken by screaming foxes and then the thoughts kicked in. That was about two hours ago. If it wasn't for those bloody horny foxes I'd probably be still be sleeping.

I slept in the day, which I needed, but now I'm still awake and its after 4am.

DS woke me at 3am and I can’t get back to sleep. 37 weeks pregnant so can’t get comfy.

Pinkbutton85 · 01/03/2019 04:24

I can't either! Woke up at half 3 with baby fucking shark going through my head. Now I'm 'switched on'. It's going to be a long day!

Smoke alarm just started chirping (yes I know I know, I'll do it !!! Lol) and OH snoring is pissing me right off. I feel for you all Brew

Margot33 · 01/03/2019 04:34

Yes been up since 1am thanks to the cat howling outside. Can't sleep since I let him in! Why he couldn't sleep in his beautiful fleeced lined cat house I do not know.

dimsum321 · 01/03/2019 04:38

I woke up at 3.28am. I am worried about DS as he was the first thought that popped into my head as soon as I woke up. But still.

Haven't slept at all so decided to get loads of washing done while the energy is cheaper, try out makeup I've not worn in years and force myself to dispose of it and start to dismantle my wardrobe. Productive night

JenMumma · 01/03/2019 04:51

@Faez ........ When I grow up... I wanna be just like you Grin

Wallywobbles · 01/03/2019 04:52

Up feeding 2 week old lambs who lost their mum yesterday. They are isolated from the others so the other mums don't head but them. They are really getting the hang of the bottles. 250ml in 1.30 mins.

barnconversion5 · 01/03/2019 05:02

Also can't sleep..... woke up needing a drink at half 3 and got some bad news yesterday which is making me worry about money & the future so everything is going round in my head.....

Faez · 01/03/2019 05:02

One man party over here Jen. Poor lambs, how big are they at 2 weeks?

barnconversion5 · 01/03/2019 05:03

@wallywobbles i love newborn lambs, it's always surprising to me how quickly they start head butting the teats in eagerness so the milk goes flying!!!

JenMumma · 01/03/2019 05:08

Lol @Faez Thanks @barnconversion5 , we're all up if you wanna chat ? Xx lambs sound so sweet that's awful that their mum's gone Sad

VanillaSugarr · 01/03/2019 05:11

DH stoke the duvet so now I’ll cold and awake. His alarm goes off at 6 so there’s no point trying to go back to sleep.

LAMBS!!!! I haven’t seen any this year.

barnconversion5 · 01/03/2019 05:12

@jenmumma Well I've no chance of sleeping.... I've got DH snoring on one side & DS snoring on the other!! Tomorrow (today) is going to be loooonnnnnnggggg!!

AndWhat · 01/03/2019 05:18

Children woke me 2 hours ago and I’m playing around with the lights through Alexa. As we were broken into a few months ago and I get terrible anxiety attacks if I wake up in the middle of the night thinking someone’s going to try again Angry

dingledangles · 01/03/2019 17:44

Sounds like you all had a fun night like me!! My middle child eventually woke up at half 3, I think I got to sleep at about 4 and then husband's alarm went off at half 5 so I was awake again 🙄

@barnconversion5 that warrants divorce, at the very least disown them 😂🙄
