To ask, who's still up and why?

[rabbitheadlights]

Me? My 4 yr ds has gone to sleep before 4am for the first time in about 8 weeks, I'm enjoying the quiet!!!! I will regret it at 7ish when 11month dd gets up, but did it I've not had more than 3 hrs sleep for 2 months so what difference does it make??

@Rosebel thank you x

39 weeks pregnant and cramoy

Crampy grr

@Wavingnotdrowning sorry for your loss.

DD2(2) woke up, inexplicably, at 3:45am. Managed to pacify her with peppa pig on my phone for an hour or so. Eventually gave up the uneven struggle at about 4:45am. DD1(5) woke up at 5:30am. Have watched what feels like 100 episodes of Blaze. I just want to go back to bed!!!

Sorry to hear about everyone's tough times
I'm awake for a different reason tonight. Have managed to bag an interview next week and am incredibly nervous! It's a totally different job to what I am used to doing. I'm nearly fifty though, I secretly think I need this so actually am a little excited too

Does anyone else suffer from the night time munchies? When I do go to bed I toss and turn for hours, have to get up and eat something sweet then go back to bed. Works 9 times out of 10! No good for the diet though!

Crying over a loss. To the damn virus. Might have lost her this year anyway due to ill health but it's been brutal this way and not the ending she deserved. My heart really is broken but I feel like I should be carrying on regardless because it's happening for many, many other families right now.
I want to hug and embrace my family to help myself and them deal with the pain and upset, but we can't.
I have to get up tomorrow- another 'samey' day and be there to field the thousand questions from my kids and be the grown up. But all I want to do is curl up and cry my eyes out for someone I loved completely and utterly and who loved me.
I feel irate at friends getting haircuts, spending time in their neighbours back garden but rationally I know risks are low and it's misdirected pain and anguish at the whole shitty situation.
It's all so very upsetting and confusing at the moment.

DD's email has been hacked and for the. Second night in a row she's come in for me to sort it out! Instagram tonight! Hopefully now sorted, why she can't google the answer instead of me I don't know

Well done @TylluanBach!

@JimandWilson, sorry - is there really no-one around for a cuddle and cry? Hope you can see family soon

Trying to persuade a friend not to commit suicide.

Just finished late-night Zoom meeting with my colleagues who are based on the other side of the world. Thankfully they're nice colleagues and I enjoy speaking to them! (Would be better if it wasn't always at midnight or 6am though!)

I'm so sorry JimandWilson

The last couple of days I've felt weird and teary and anxious. I suffer from anxiety and OCD but have been doing so well the last few months. Really hoping this isn't the start of another bad patch, not sure how many more of those I can cope with. I normally sleep really well but have been tossing and turning the last few nights. Don't feel at all tired at the moment but I know I will regret it in the morning when I have to wake up for work.

My knee is killing me and stopping me from sleeping.

Waiting for an operation when it is safe to go back into the hospital.

It has been nearly 4 months of pain now. I was supposed to have the op in March then lockdown happened.

I know that it is safer to wait but it hurts every day.

I am tired and grumpy.

Gosh there's a lot going on in the nighttime. Sending love to all those who need it tonight.

I tend to stay up way later than I should dicking about on the internet. Not really sure why if I'm honest. I can barely keep my eyes open right now.

@73kittycat73 Yes I get that too! Always works 😂

Thank you @Leicester5 going to attempt sleep. Hope you all manage to get a little rest and shut-eye. Nanite

Waiting for the Oxycodone to kick in, chilling to music and MN!

Police chase outside and now helicopter been circling last 20 minutes right over our house. It is so stuffy so have windows open. Now wide awake and I am peaking through the window being nosey Thankful right now that kids are sleeping through it. No idea how though as they are at the front where all the action is!

Just bored (so luckier than some) only seem to get about 4 hours of broken sleep these days, comes from having 0 stimulation or any kind of real activity during the day. Don't get tired because there's nothing to do.

Lots of to those awake for non funny reasons.

I'm awake because I'm suffering from some minor insomnia lately and when I do sleep I keep having weird dreams.

I'm drinking ovaltine and watching a doc on BBC4 tilling feel drowsy.

I've averaged 5 hours sleep a night since lockdown began. If I'm lucky the kids that belong to my asshole neighbours are asleep by 1:30am and then up again at 6:30am. They are early teens and whooping it up all day and all night. She claims they go to bed at 10 and get up at 8, because she sends them to their room at that time and ignores them till she wants in the morning. And ignores them all day too. We're moving as soon as we can.

Have just managed to get a mouse out of the living room - took three of us (ds 2 and 3 still up!) Was just thinking about going to bed about 12.30 when I noticed it trotting across the carpet. Think it must have been there since this morning when I came down to find the cat staring fixedly at the sofa. Thought it was odd, but he wasn't sniffing around and pawing underneath like he usually does, if he brings something in. Took ages, as it kept darting under different bits of furniture. Now I can't sleep!

I had an argument with OH tonight that lasted ages. I am so so irritable I just was in such a bad mood. I’m fed up of lockdown now I feel like an awful partner and mum. I’ve been dieting and working out each day and I think I’m just drained. I need a break. And chocolate and wine.
