To ask why you're awake?

[Ezlo]

I've got pcos and endometriosis and have been ill since weekend. I had a heavy bleed and had a bath about 40 minutes ago and pain after I used the toilet.

I've just dosed up on ibuprofen. Looks like another day of rest and visits to the toilet and bath.

Why are you awake?

Hope you feel better soon OP. Here it's a sickness bug. Both myself and teenage daughter. Bleurgh. Either I'm awake or she is.

I’ve got what feels like the worst period pain I’ve ever had. But I am 51 and in perimenopause and I am not bleeding at the moment.
So sorry you are in pain too

I’m temporarily living overseas and the homesickness can’t pull me away from my UK media even though most people are asleep 😭

I'm in a different time zone. Hope everyone's feeling better soon.

Insomnia. I’m so knackered. It’s been weeks of not sleeping. It doesn’t help that partner and daughter have both had nightmares tonight and he’s now snoring like a bear. Work will be fun tomorrow

I was having a lovely sleep until 4am when my door opened and a miserable six year old came in sobbing that she had had 'a terrible dream'. She went back to sleep quickly but I have just given up and turned to reading mumsnet under the covers!

I’m perimenopausal and don’t sleep well. Currently wake up at 4-20 each night, FFS.

Woke up really thirsty, got water but now wide awake….. must put phone down….

The cat decided to wail as he came into the bedroom. He is now sleeping soundly and I am wide wide awake.

I am awake for some water and dates as fasting today.

It's 3 days since my husband moved out and I'm struggling to sleep alone.

I've been up with my 6 week old, was just falling back asleep when my 2 year old shouted me...because he's broken his finger nail 🙄 So he's back down now after I sorted that crisis for him, the baby is snoring her head off, but now I'm wide awake again.

I had a difficult day yesterday, I have been feeling out of sorts for a while but a few things came to a head, both at work and in my personal life, which made me feel quite fed up and I’m struggling to switch off from all of that.

I think I’m having a sort of midlife crisis at the moment and finding myself regretting decisions I made, replaying mistakes, feeling sad about the passage of time, wondering where the last decade went etc. I need to find a more productive way to channel my energy.

Sorry to those who are feeling unwell and hope you are better soon.

Having breakfast and a coffee before going for a run at 5:00. Only time I get to myself and to exercise before commute, working full time, kids clubs on an evening, etc. Now I’ve got use to it, it’s actually my favourite part of the day, so peaceful and quiet.

I have terrible insomnia. I have been awake from 1.30 am for the last 2 days.
surviving a full working day with barely any sleep.
usually I average around 5 hours sleep a night. But this week is particularly bad.

DD has terrible toothache so I'm keeping her company.

Hope you all get some sleep soon!

I've got a horrible day at work, investigating an allegation against a member of staff, and I've been awake most of the night thinking it over. Up in five mins 😥

I'm in a hotel and about 3.53am the fire alarms went off and we were evacuated because of a suspected gas leak. We were quickly given the all clear to go back in but can't get back to sleep.

Woke to eat at 3.30am as fasting. Always struggle to get back to sleep. Just started dozing and ds2 started crying 😢

Period pain and I can’t find the ibuprofen - I know I have some at work and the rest are packed as we are moving this weekend. Got back Into bed but need to get up again and rummage through some boxes 🫣

Two of my cats had a fight under my bed so now I’m wide awake

I havent managed to sleep yet
Going to be fun later

So I decided to get up and do some laundry

Im on my 4th load

Luckily i only have one neighbour one side and he works nights
The rest are a fair bit away

Thinking about work. Waking up at 4.30 am seems to have become a horrible habit 😭

DS is disabled. We usually spend a lot of the night awake :(

Haven’t slept yet. Finished nights yesterday morning.

got some health worries ongoing. Plus peri menopausal anxiety is currently ruling my life.

hope you feel better soon OP
