To think there is no point trying to sleep now

[BellaAndSprout]

It is 4:30am and I need to be up at 8.

Am I being unreasonable to think it would be better to just stay awake instead of going to sleep, feeling awful when I've got to wake up and knowing I will potentially sleep through my alarm.

I could easily fall asleep now but I'm dreading how tired I will feel when the alarm goes, that is if I wake up!

YABU - some sleep is better than no sleep regardless of the risk of sleeping through.

YANBU - at least you're awake now and won't miss your alarm, just go get a coffee!

Get the sleep! You’ll feel worse without it

Sleep.

But you clearly need a better alarm. Can you buy an old fashioned alarm clock?

Sleep . I'm in the same position but no chance of being able to sleep. If I could sleep not until 8 I'd be fine.

Sleep, or at least doze.

A trick I have taught myself is to drink a large glass of water when I need to get up in a couple of hours because then my bladder will wake me up!

I'd at least doze, I hope you are managing to do that right now. Hope today's not too painful for you.

Here with you yawn

Why would you stay awake when you don't have to be up for another three and a half hours?!

I hope you were sensible normal and went back to sleep?

That’s a good few hours you could get, better than nothing

I'm debating the same - flight delayed by 6 hours, I'll be back at 7.45, doctors appointment at 10 - wonder if I'd be best staying awake. I definitely need to shower before I go (will be revealing all when I get there).
