My 5 week old just doesn't sleep.
Currently trying her swing to get her to sleep whilst watching Holly with the subtitles on 😩

Yeah but with a hell hound rather than a baby! Hoping he'll settle soon!

Vix20678 · 16/09/2019 03:18

Yes. Five year old with a very itchy verruca is keeping me up!

Lofari · 16/09/2019 03:19

Yep. Poorly DS. Good job they're cute isn't it

RightYesButNo · 16/09/2019 03:21

Yes. Can’t breathe properly and I’m terrified (I have a few medical conditions so it’s not quite out of nowhere but it also is, iyswim?) Just waiting until I can call my GP at 0730. Sad

Yep little man is asleep but wakes as soon as I try to move him Sad

AngC273 · 16/09/2019 03:42

I'm still up and have been since 12.30! Little one is now asleep on me on sofa. Good job I have a recliner! Hope you all get some sleep soon

Yep, wore new boots yesterday and have had cramp in my feet all night finally gave up at 3 and came downstairs. I should know better than to try anything other than flats, so it serves me right really.

@RightYesButNo, if your breathing is at all unusual please phone NHS direct, don't wait until 7.30, it might be nothing but better to get checked as soon as possible.

AngC273 · 16/09/2019 03:53

@RightYesButNo please call 111. They will be able to advise you

Up until 2am, slept for an hour and then back awake since. 1 yr old with sickness bug

RightYesButNo · 16/09/2019 04:01

Thanks, ladies! I’ve already been advised to follow this plan (call GP first thing) unless my breathing strength goes down below a certain level (I have a device that measures it), as the wait at my A&E is currently longer than waiting for him to open (how bad is that? But that’s normal Sunday for you). It just feels really scary.

tiredandgrumpyx · 16/09/2019 04:02

I'm awake 22 weeks pregnant and I'm awake this time every night just lately. It's not great because I'll be up in a couple of hours to run around after my 18month dd

ElizaPancakes · 16/09/2019 04:06

Yes.

I have what I can only described as 'growing pains' in my legs and it's keeping me up.

I am annoyed.

GlasshouseStoneThrower · 16/09/2019 04:08

Yep. Up for a flight at 6am, but have been awake on and off since 2.30 because my stupid body knew it had to be up early and couldn't settle to sleep!

Astella22 · 16/09/2019 04:11

Me too going through yet another bout of insomnia. I suffer from this every few weeks and it drives me crazy. I just can’t drop off

dotty12345 · 16/09/2019 04:59

I’m up, a long time insomniac but also split with partner of 4 years and in a house that doesn’t feel like mine!!

VanillaSugarr · 16/09/2019 05:03

I have developed a stinker of a cold and I have been awake since 2.30 with blocked sinuses. I have to get up at 6am so there’s no point trying to get some sleep at all.

MaryPopppins · 16/09/2019 05:12

Yup. Woken up by sharp pains behind my belly button. Don't know what end it'll be. Or if it's nothing.

Been sat in the bathroom but nothing. Now I'm back in bed of course the pain seem loads worse.

Can't really win. At least in bed it's warm and the cat is keeping me company.
