Anyone else can’t sleep so get up and clean?

[TheOpalFox]

I can’t sleep so I got up and I’m cleaning lol I must be mad but I can’t stand just laying there awake not sleeping lol and I don’t sleep in the day but I’m always exhausted !!! So cleaning at half 12 :/

Yep, I often get up and start cleaning the kitchen. Not that it's dirty in the first place. When I'm finished, I make a cup of tea, sit on the sofa and watch TV, sometimes I go back to sleep, I'll wait until about 7:30 before I take my husband tea in bed.

I couldn’t bring myself to do something as tiring as cleaning, it’s the last thing I feel like doing when exhausted but can’t sleep. I usually get up come downstairs, read for a while, cool my body down then go back to bed

Cup of tea and two slices of buttered toast or crumpets. Read for half an hour until the carbs kick in, and a blissful sleep. I don’t know why it’s not prescribed.

No I scroll through mumsnet and read about other people cleaning x

No because its unfair on your family and neighbours. Read a book or get headphones.

Jeez how noisy is your cleaning? I do love a good scrub and mop session.
However Horlicks is my go to sleep aid.

No, I hate cleaning at the best of times, so I definitely wouldn't be getting up in the middle of the night to do it.
If I can't sleep, I read until I realise that I've just read that one paragraph 3 times, then I put the book down and off to sleep I go.

I have the opposite problem. I need to clean, don’t want to so take a nap instead 😂

Whatever works for you to help you get back to sleep. For me I just keep tossing and turning or will put on an ASMD video, chamomile tea. Most just toss and turn but wouldn't dream of cleaning. Xxx

I always stay in bed because at least then your body gets a rest.

I have to motivate myself to clean during the day. There’s zero chance of me doing it at night if I can’t sleep 🤣

I’d put the tv on quietly on a comedy channel/film, pop my eye mask on and just relax and listen to the tv. Although I go to sleep this way most nights anyway as my brain becomes overactive when it’s silent.

Usually if I’m having trouble sleeping, I’d just pop a Nytol. Works like a charm 😁

Same 🤣🤣

I didn’t get up to clean because that would disturb everyone else but I used to be out in the garden in my dressing gown and wellies at 3 am, weeding

I’ve done this at 3am before…

Re-grouted the bathroom floor at 2 this morning☺️
