Woke up not long ago feeling really sick then eventually threw up. DS was vomiting this exact time early hours on Friday so looks like I’ve caught that🙃 Why does this shit always happen at this time, just want to sleep😴 Hi to anyone awake!

I'm awake 👋 Sorry you're unwell. Kids are very generous that way!

I seem to have developed insomnia over the past few months where I struggle to fall asleep and then wake during the night.

flapjackfairy · 16/09/2024 03:22

i am. Woke for a wee and couldn't get back to sleep. Husband snoring like a drain not helping. .Sorry you feel sick. It is a horrible feeling. Hopefully it will pass soon x

okilay · 16/09/2024 03:24

Incidentally, I googled once about why vomiting always seemed to occur during the night and it is a thing! Can't remember why though.

Stirmish · 16/09/2024 03:25

Sorry you're feeling sick

Not fun so hope you feel better soon

I'm a bit insomniacy at present so currently watching Aquaman 2 whilst on MN and playing a game on my phone like a child Grin

Coffeeandbiscuits9 · 16/09/2024 03:25

@okilay @flapjackfairy oh no, I hope you both manage to get back to sleep soon! I don’t even have that “relief” feeling you normally get after being sick, I just feel worse💀 ergh

Sorry your feeling unwell, hope it passes for you soon. I'm awake with baby, he's just turned 24 hrs old 😁 here's hoping we can all get some more sleep

oh that's pants. Hope it passes soon. I have to be up at 5.30 soI should try to sleep but don't want to get annoyed lying there trying to drop off. My mind has gone into overdrive now! I hate nights like this.

Aw congratulations !

Coffeeandbiscuits9 · 16/09/2024 03:30

@Stirmish I think I’m going to have a go on 8 ball pool soon if I can’t get back to sleep🫣🤣 Good thing is DS1 is at school and DS2 nursery later so then hopefully I’ll be able to have some sleep then🤞🏼

@SantasRubiksCube Aww congratulations😍😁

Hi all, I’m awake too! I fall asleep quite easily then wake at a ridiculous time for an hour or so before nodding off again, it’s not fun on a working day.🤦‍♀️
I caught a bug off my grandchildren a couple of weeks ago and it lasted exactly 24 hours on each of us. It is exhausting isn’t it,
I hope you are better soon.

Feeling sick is the worst. You have my sympathy.

I have work anxiety. I've just scheduled an email to my line manager to send at 7 30. My workload is ridiculous and there are consequences if it's not completed. I'm fearful that something will happen and I'll be made a scapegoat so I've asked for some direction in prioritising to put the responsibility back on management as I'm not allocated enough time to complete the work to be done.

okilay · 16/09/2024 03:40

@SantasRubiksCube Congratulations!

Drawahardline · 16/09/2024 03:41

Sorry you arent feeling well op! Got morning shift at 7:45 but need to get some charting done before so will need to be in by 6.

DD was sick tonight as well, somethings going round. Already drafted the email to school Grin

The Dog is curled up on my feet as I’ve been banished downstairs by DW for the light coming off my phone Wink

how is everyone doing?

Ugh. You poor thing. I hope you get some support of the back of your email.

Oncemoreuntothebreachmother · 16/09/2024 03:46

I'm awake, in fact our entire household is....2 week old is up having epic boob and poop session. 2 year old has just woken up and shouting for daddy so he's also now up too. Nightly occurence for this knackered household!

Sorry you're feeling crap, hope it improves soon x

babyproblems · 16/09/2024 03:46

Also awake with a toddler next to me who has woken up.. nursery in 4 hours 😵‍💫 third night of wake up at this time, wondering if he’s coming down with something. So wearing when it’s night after night after night… sending sweet dreams to all of you! X

HelloDaisy · 16/09/2024 03:48

I’m awake as feeling sick too 😫

I had d&v on Saturday afternoon and then slept for most of Sunday so thought it had passed and I would be fine by Monday.

So annoying to be awake at this time of night.

Drawahardline · 16/09/2024 03:51

other DD just been sick Confused wondering wether to stay home today and cancel my shift as I’m feeling a little shit tbh. The hospital I work in is so understaffed but I can’t go around spreading D&V to everyone.

let’s hope DW doesn’t come down with it otherwise we are done for Grin

Coffeeandbiscuits9 · 16/09/2024 03:58

Just been sick again, got that relief feeling finally😫 too wide awake to go to sleep now though I think, got to get DS2 up for school at 7😴 hope everyone gets some sleep and hugs to those who are awake for worrying/feeling unwell

I'm awake too! Been off on and the last hour or two!

A culmination of my DS (20) running up and down the stairs, I've injured my shoulder so that's uncomfortable, and work being on my mind which I tell myself it's not worth my peace and there's not much I can do in the middle of the night!! I will probably read for a bit then go back to sleep!

Sorry you are unwell OP! There seems to a bit going about, i know a few people who have come down with a sickness bug, Feel better soon!

DH is sound off, even when he has things on his mind he tends to sleep, slightly jealous 😊

Hope we all fall back to sleep soon! 😴

Tradio · 16/09/2024 04:03

This is my normal but it’s always hard for anyone not used to it

Worse to be sick though 🤒

Hope anyone sick gets better soon 💐

Hollyhobbi · 16/09/2024 04:04

I'm on a trolley in a hospital. On IV meds for very low phosphate. My BP monitor is alarming continuously cause the bottom reading is over 100 all the time. The call beel doesn't seem to work. I've tried calling for someone to turn off the alarm but no one came in. The call bell itself doesn't seem to work. And I can't get to the door cause the IV stand is attached to the bed. Help.

Thismummyrunstheshow · 16/09/2024 04:04

I'm awake with DD feeling sick and sky high temp.
Absolutely fine before bed. 2am wake up was a shock

FromCuddleLand · 16/09/2024 04:06

First night shift in an ED x-ray department. Yawn. Four hours to go. Hope you are all snoring by now.
