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?

I wake at 4.22ish each day for some reason. Have for weeks!

Peri symptoms and heavy bleeding. I can't wait for it to bloody stop!

Hope you feel better soon op.

Our dog woke us all up by jumping on my son in his sleep. He got upset and came in to our bed. Everyone else is back asleep except for me 😩

Sorry your feeling rubbish when I felt really unwell I needed somthing to numb my brain I watched blackhead popping videos on YouTube. Meant to be the same sort of feeling of group grooming in monkeys now for me it is earwax removal if neither of those things work I hope I made you smile. Hope you feel best soon.

Elderly mother with alzheimer's issues running through my head.

My dog woke me up for a wee.🐶

Moving house next week and haven’t done enough packing yet 😳

Has anyone tried ASMR?
I really like it and it works really well

my dog has got back into a terrible habit of early morning waking.

I'm awake because I went to bed at 8.30pm. I was so tired and restless it was for the best!

Its going to be a beautiful day today for most

So hopefully everyone gets to feel abit of sunlight on their faces

It's coming up to the 1 year anniversary of my late OH's death on friday. It's triggered off my anxiety again and I've been so wound up I can't sleep properly for days now.

I have a broken leg and seem to wake up every hour, 4am seems to be my wake up time every single morning and I just can’t get back to sleep

I’m on holiday and was reading a really good book, which I finished just after 5am

Getting ready for work. Will have to leave in 30 minutes.

I'm so sorry for all of with with pain and loss and anxiety. I think I'm mostly awake because of steroids despite them being taken alongside oramorph (oral morphine) but I am starting to feel more tired so I could be asleep soon. I've used the time to scroll on here, write in my nearly departed diary and I'm now going to read a little and then see how I sleep. I hope today is better for everyone. Where pain is awful upon awful, see if the GP can give you something strong. I understand it's hard to get any sort of appointment, even phone - I've been "lucky" because of cancer treatment they see you immediately which is both fair and unfair. If not, ibuprofen and codeine where the amount of codeine is just over 12mg, more than co-codamol over the counter where it's only 8mg. Take two as needed but also add a paracetamol (without codiene) as that does seem to help speed up the relief. Also hotwater bottles or hot patch things can really help. Anxiety is hard and I'm afraid I have no advice but send much empathy because it's another bastard of a thing. Take care one and all.

@DoAWheelie a year is no time at all and I'm so sorry for you loss. The one thing I will say, watching my friend who has now been widowed for four years is that it's not that it gets easier but after a year it's no longer "the first time since." it doesn't make it okay but you're through that first absence at their birthday/your birthday/Christmas all of those special times. And just allow yourself to feel all of it and if there's anything special you can think to do, no matter how small or random, do it and remember that all of this is normal and that we all have to get through it in the right normal way for us. Take care.

@ScentOfAMoomin my favourite reason for being up far too late!

Norovirus. On to day 3 now. And i have had enough.

There's a Low Red Moon shining right into my eyes.
(Any fans of Belly? I got the lyrics going round my head as soon as I saw it.)

Another one worrying - about health and convincing myself I have terrible diseases. This has made my heart race which is fuel to the fire 🙈 Had a horrible gut thing last week and it’s not improving as I’d hoped

Hope everyone gets at least a doze!

Can’t stop thinking about Palestine and the suffering there.

Up with eldest who asked for a toastie about a hour ago, youngest got up and is watching paw patrol and to top it off there's something painful growing inside my ear and my face is slightly swollen.

DH woke me up snoring and thrashing and now I’m thinking about work and how my alarm will go off in an hour and can’t get back to sleep

Cats... apparently it's wee time and breakfast time🙄

I am disabled. Pain makes it difficult to sleep.
My body clock messed up on Monday. My sleep/awake times are the wrong way around.
