To ask why you are awake?

[hellcarryingahandbag]

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?

Woke up around half hour ago with mild stomach pains. My own fault for eating something containing gluten last night 🙄 catching up on my recorded programmes in peace now

It's only 11pm here and I'm feeling guilty for drinking too much tonight but had an amazing evening with new friends. I love the wife, dh loves her husband and her kids and ds get on so well. We live extremely rurally in a very insular and remote community so it's quite lovely when this happens!

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I can't get comfy in bed. My back is killing me and my dogs have got in the bed to cuddle up to DH, leaving me literally no space (I take up a fair bit of space these days!) so I've come down to try and make a nest on the sofa!

I normally wake up about this time and can't get back to sleep for an hour or so.
Sleep condition + small child = no unbroken sleep for some years

I never sleep well, so am reading some magazines that my mother passed on to me. She said they were from October so I expected them to be a little behind the times, but they’re October 2018... Still worth it for book recommendations & recipes though!

Thank you for the flowers, OP.
I would like to share them with posters who are awake for actual reasons!

(I know from experience they don't agree with me. I think, in this instance, the effect was exacerbated by having drunk too much coffee to get me through a long day after a rubbish night, last night, due to being kept awake by the bloody pain I took them for!)

Taking my DS to swim training soon....

Im getting through every day one by one.. I would love to talk to someone who can advise me how to stop loving that man.. i have a 6 weeks old and a 11 months old baby.. he was having affair during pregnancy and even after my baby was born.. he doesn’t give a fuck about us... he is acting now like he miss us etc.. I don’t believe any word even tho i want to..

@MockneyReject you’re welcome!
@brig93 my messages are always open

Not slept all night, DH been out, rolled at half 2 , I have heard him as I type roll off the sofa and hit the floor, whitch shows how drunk he is. He has been smoking and reeks of cigarettes and mints, oh joy.

Can't sleep due to pure fury; he is supposed to help 1 DC revise while I take other DC out....he won't be up til mid day so not much will get done
This is the man who about 2 month ago split his head open on the kitchen floor shitfaced.

I am not a happy bunny and he is utterly oblivious to this.

It's not the worst marriage, and the DC would be utterly broken if we were ever to seperate, so between a choice of breaking DC hearts or just having a little less joy in my daily life, I'd be a horrible person for making DC suffer.

He is good in many other ways but this swaying dickhead mouth breathing and staggering about is driving me mad.

Toddler is screaming. Husband is attending to him but being a real stroppy arse about it.

@JoyceDivision I would have smothered him long ago. I can’t deal with drunkenness or mouth breathing.

Another one here who routinely wakes up at this time and struggles to get back to sleep.

Insomnia here, partly due to mental health issues and partly due to medication. I have no idea what it feels like to wake up refreshed. This week I lost my job and it's set me back a bit, horrible panic attacks and the constant tiredness that follows.

I'm in an airport in the Middle East waiting for my flight home to U.K. (on my way from China).

Yawn!

Currently (husband not me) driving back from Cornwall as we’ve had to cut our holiday short as toddler is unwell with a horrid cough//cold bug and hasn’t slept in two days.

Coffee is needed!

Crocheting sounds good. and clever. I am awake in the night, as I have sever crap tinnitus, and don't ever sleep well. But I like writing and use the night,to write all sorts of things, as in a diary, all my memories, and a while ago. a short story. I sometimes listen to my fav music on youtube in the night, to off set the crap tinnitus, but headphones do my head in after a while..

I cant play any music as in normal, live in a small house.with neighbours who all go to bed at 9 or 10 pm ha ha,

@HicDraconis must be in a different part of NZ from me, where it’s as wild, windy and cloudy at 5.22pm as it has been for the last 24 hours! Am trying to sleep off my head cold but the wailing wind is not helping.

It's very windy here, and I just had laser eye surgery yesterday so took a nap as soon as I got in!

Considering walking the dog before the rain starts...

I’m worrying about my youngest child as he’s abroad for the week for some potential work and I’ve got an exam at the end of the month and I conked out on the sofa early as was so tired from work and actually woke up with cramp in my foot. So, yeah. That’ll do it. It’s like a recipe for insomnia.

Because the rain on the velux windows in our bedroom is sooooo loud.

I'm actually angry at it. And it woke the baby. Just got him to sleep but I should have gone to a downstairs bedroom with him. If I want to go now I'll have to disturb him but if I don't I can't see myself sleeping again. Argh

Got my 2 week old in my arms, having done a feed and DH done a nappy change.

I’m sweating badly atm, so am really damp and cold!

About to put DS back down and try to settle him - wish us luck!

It’s really windy here. I live on the top floor so my flat sounds like I’m in a tent! I think the cat is scared and I am stressing in case dd wakes up.

It’s nice not too feel too lonely with all these other people awake.

I'd love to be able to crochet. A local shop had classes but they were always full and now the shop has closed.

@Hellcarryingahandbag

It's going to a be a bloody close call, I might squeeze that in if I can't get some sleep now before DC get up in next couple of hours.

Well it will be nice to have something for us to talk argue about tomorrow.
