Hi all, I’m visiting my grandparents overnight, and I heard Gran coughing so I got up to see if she was OK, and she was asleep by the time I got in to the room she was sleeping in, and I’m now sitting at the kitchen table crocheting and Mumsnetting. What about you?

It's only 10:30pm here. I had a biopsy of my breast today, and took a long nap when I got home. I'm watching TV with an ice pack in my bra.

Woke up cos needed a wee and can’t get back to sleep Sad

Cottagepieandpeas · 11/01/2020 03:37

Coughing. My own. But I'm not your Gran.
Hope you manage some more sleep.

bloodywhitecat · 11/01/2020 03:38

The baby needed feeding. I foster and I have a nine week old with me who has been through withdrawal and I often spend the wee small hours admiring his fortitude.

Mrsmch123 · 11/01/2020 03:38

Because I'm on holiday in Sri Lanka and it's just after 9 in the morning😀

Thanks. My risk is relatively low, but they're being cautious because of family history. I get my results Monday or Tuesday. 🤞

Aw bless him, hope you both get some sleep.

I woke up for a wee an hour ago and as I started with cystitis yesterday I'm now laid in bed hoping the burning and further desire to wee will bugger offAngry

I took painkillers with codeine in and had a horrific, very graphic dream about my son's dog. I was too scared to go back to sleep incase I went back to the dream. So, I got up and made a cup of tea and took some ibuprofen and now I'm back in bed. I've dozed off multiple times, but jumped awake almost instantly.
At least it's my weekend off work, so I can make up for it by not getting up at 6 o'clock.

hellcarryingahandbag · 11/01/2020 03:45

@MockneyReject that’s rather sad… you shouldn’t take codeine again, if that’s what it does to you. I find that my dreams have an effect on my mind in reality.Flowers

@bloodywhitecat what an amazing thing you do! He’s very lucky to have you at his side.

I am awake because DT1 woke up with a nightmare which then woke DT2 up. I have one lying on each side of me, I am not even slightly bothered they are both so peaceful I feel well rested just looking at them.

Brig93 · 11/01/2020 03:48

Woke up for baby crying.. in my arms at the same time this is not unusual for me.. even tho my babies are asleep I cannot sleep much having nightmares about my partner’s affair and the bitch being pregnant.. infidelity hurts way to much... everything is so complicated..

vivacian · 11/01/2020 03:48

I always wake up for about an hour at this time.

RealMermaid · 11/01/2020 03:49

I'm in hospital with my week old baby. He's been poorly but is doing much better. And he's due a feed!

steff13 · 11/01/2020 03:50

I usually wake up around 3am. Weird.

5 o'clock on a lovely sunny NZ evening here - and I am at work, been here since 9am. 15h to go...! Hoping I don't get too many calls overnight, I would love to be able to spend tomorrow out in the sunshine rather than catching up on sleep!
