Anyone else still up?

[Hysterectomynext]

I’ve been in bed for a couple of hours but no where near sleeping yet. I’ve got a horrible cold. The part where it’s at its worst with the streaming nose and sneezing.

I’ve also got other serious health issues going on but right now I’m headachy and without energy. And tomorrow I’ll definitely need to muster some strength as it’s an important day.

anyone else struggling?

Yeah, I’m up. I accidentally ate a nanoparticle of garlic two days ago (I’m intolerant) and it’s made me really ill.

So fed up of it.

I have stuff to do!

I'm up. Feeling really weird and full of cold

Sorry to hear you're both unwell 💕, wishing you well with your big health improvements, op

I actually slept at around midnight but I've woken up completely. Not sure what's got me anxious!

The worst part is, I’m really tired!

I am up, my anxiety is just awful, I am worried and struggling with so much at the moment

Hope you all get some sleep soon 😴

🤭 that's the worst

I'm listening to 'party anthems' for some reason!

Was fast asleep as normal but now I’m wide awake, need to get up at 5.30 to walk the dog before work so no chance of getting back to sleep!

Pondering getting up to make a cup of tea and bring it back to bed to read for an hour

Sodding menopause

Rubbish for you! Night time is the worse time for anxiety

Insomnia here. Two hours until I have to be up for a hectic day of juggling kids and work

Been awake since 1.43. So much on my mind😔I think I will get up and make tea now. Alarm will go off at 5.30☹️

Another one in the health issues can’t sleep club, I’m up pacing our tiny hallway, trying to “walk off” pain lmao know it’s not going to happen but walking in tiny circles still feels better than lying in bed watching dh sleep while I can’t 😭

Hope you feel better soon OP, and everyone else who can't sleep.

Another menopausal insomniac - who also suffers restless leg syndrome. Been to sleep and woke up twice, each time I'm stood up at the side of the bed either swaying to put pressure on both hips or walking it off. Just taken two paracetamol as that helps. Am currently downstairs drinking decaf coffee and eating a bowl of cereal. Work in a few hours and it's horrible when you're so tired.

I'm up - pregnancy insomnia, and I have my c section today. Have been so sick of people saying to me "get your sleep in while you can before baby comes" - I would if I bloody could!!!!

wide awake here for about an hour
needed a wee
was hot so washed my face
now my brain thinks its morning
I’m seriously considering making herbal tea,
vaguely wondering why I don’t have an emergency
supply of shortbread

I had the running nose thing,
thought it must be hay fever but it came and went
its so exhausting, propped up in bed unable to sleep,
coughing and nose running
or feeling worried,
awakened from awful shocking dreams
afraid to sleep

I hope all you ladies unwell or anxious feel better soon

I am wide awake. I have too much heartache and sadness to deal with.

I’m awake as always at this time. But tonight I’m in work. 2 hours to go x

Dd is poorly aswell so might wake her up now and take her to Asda to get supplies in while its quiet 🥺

🥺💕 the great thing about mumsnet is that you're not alone here, there's people on the other end of the screen x

Fingers crossed it flies by x

I'm up too as by now I've given up. Managed a couple of hours sleep from 2 to 4 or thereabouts. Dealing with a difficult situation at work and my heart rate seems to be permanently through the roof these days 😔

This too shall pass, at least I hope it will. Sending virtual hugs to all other night owls going through challenging times.

Yes, Mumsnetters are always there for comfort and company. I know some people get a hard time on here sometimes but I’ve only experienced compassion and understanding for my issues.

Absolutely 💕

Took dd to Asda to get her a bunch of snacks - back in bed now listening to Greg James and having a lie down for a bit 😌

No school for her as she's the one who kept me up, with her cold symptoms - she's only had a few hours sleep bless her, fingers crossed we get some more
