To not get an early night?

I feel like I should be sleeping as much as I can on a night as it’s my C-section on Friday. DH still at work for another few hours and I just don’t really feel I can settle and have a really good show to watch.

Pregnancy sleep has been ok, I have no problems falling asleep but I do wake up every hour thanks to needing the toilet / heartburn. Everyone says ‘sleep while you can’ which annoys me because I know I’ll be ridiculously, beyond comprehension amounts of tired for months years but it’s not as though you can bank sleep for a later date. I know I likely won’t sleep much or any at all for the first two nights though.

AIBU to stay up and think it doesn’t matter or should I prioritise going to bed above all else? I can sleep in tomorrow till late morning and somehow that always feels nicer!

Honestly I'd just enjoy sleep being on your terms, rather than sleeping while you can! Nothing like a cosy night and then a lay in. Something which you may not enjoy for a while. So make the most of only pleasing yourself and don't over think!
I didn't sleep a wink the night before my section and don't believe I was any more or less exhausted. It all just moulds into one.
Wishing you the very best of luck and congratulations. 😀

Enjoy having some quiet time! I’d rephrase it as don’t over tire yourself, if you can have a lie in tomorrow morning then of course that’s fine.
