Anyone else awake at night and wanting company on sleepless nights?

[Sleepy21]

Is there any thread on here for those who have trouble sleeping at night? Just to keep each other company and feel less alone? Would be great if there is x

@Thistooshallpsss I'm so sorry for your loss. Do you have any comfort tv shows you can put on in the background,just as company?

Sorry for your loss @Thistooshallpsss, @AlwayAnxiousI hope you manage to find a comfortable position and to those worrying about children I hope they manage to sleep and let you rest.

I am in chemo insomnia thanks to the steroids. Had 5/6 on Thursday and am in full hot flush menopause that I had long since hoped was left behind. Have read for the last three hours, this time I have decided not to try and force sleep but to just rest. I was much less stressed today!

Morning. Big hugs to those who are worrying about dc and are grieving. Worries are always worse in the night.

This is the 8th night in a row I've been up before 3am. Thankfully without anxiety tonight. I suffer really badly with it. I had been worrying about work up until Thursday as I realised I'd been forgetting to do something in work, and had thought of handing my notice in and have been googling jobs to apply for. Bit the bullet Thursday morning and told my manager. He was great said I could do what needed to be done retrospectively and not to worry. Now my mind is spiralling over the renovation project we are doing. The cost just keeps going up, as materials are so expensive.

I’m awake after the 10th terrible nights sleep in a row after getting not great results from an ultrasound. On the 2 week cancer pathway to rule out endometrial cancer, also found fibroids, cysts and adenomyosis. Moving far too quickly which is scaring me as the. Biopsy is Thursday under general anaesthetic, that’s if my blood pressure can calm down before then.
Drs are going to deal with the other stuff after the biopsy results.
Keep waking every 30-45 minutes and then being wide awake from 2:30
I’m so sorry there are so many of us struggling to sleep.
Apologies for typos etc as I’ve not got my reading glasses upstairs

Wide awake at nearly 4am . Tired but can't sleep . Probably a mixture of reasons . Getting older . But atm I have a lot of worries on my mind . Just life stuff but I feel I am so unproductive as end up falling asleep during the day .

My usual 3am wake up. Probably due to my age and often needing a pee around that time.

Sorry for those who are worried about life, work, or health. 💐

Our nearest McDs is a building site atm 😩

Nearest Mcds is city centre..no way it's akin to a zoo and a trouble magnet.

Hey. I have struggled since a child with my sleep. Trying to wean myself off sleeping tablets and its really hard some nights.
I use the calm app to finally get me off, it has relaxation exercises, white noise sounds but I listen to the sleep stories.
You do have to pay but honestly its the best thing ever so if any ones interested i highly recommend it (especially the train stories!)
Sending so much love to everyone struggling tonight 🩷

Ps the owl and cat knitting on the trampoline may be the favourite image ive have taken from mumsnet

Joining the sleepless gang. I usually sleep well until about 4, get up then for a wee and find it hard to get back to sleep. So I’ve been making notes about some work I’ve been thinking about…

Please please tell me what this site is! I'm awake because of a very difficult upsetting week and I feel like I'm drowning.

Part of the sleepless gang too! Still wide awake

I have been contemplating whether to spend on the calm app and I think you may have convinced me - willing to try anything at this point!

Well I am awake as DH is snoring. We are off on holiday tomorrow and I’m not sure that I can share a room with him. I hope that the airport sells ear plugs. The dog also snores so they take turns like a mini orchestra of snores. Recently I have slept in a different room but it wa cleaned and changed yesterday ready for the holiday. Usually I also get woken up due to an old wound/ injury but luckily tonight it’s not aching so much.

I have learnt to push my worries to the back of my head but it’s tough isn't it.

At least the weather is cooler now and Autumn is coming soon.

Still awake here too. Bloody chemo.

Well… I must have fallen asleep some point after 3/3.30am ish ( younger DS got up for a drink and I checked he was ok), but!! my phone rang about hour ago and older DS asked if I could let him in ( he had managed to get a lift home unexpectedly , and couldn’t get in as I had double bolted the door) so he’s been telling me all his gossip…..😹!

I hope @BeardySchnauzeryour daughter is ok ( DC🙄😹!), @Thistooshallpsss.. I’m so very sorry for your loss..@MyCatsSlave… good luck, deep breaths ..
hugs to those with anxiety and stress … @Noras They will! But, the room will have a bathroom so shove him in there!! ( mini orchestra!! I bet your dog doesn’t wind up up as much! My toy poodle is snuffling on my stomach right now… super cute. But, if it was DH….well, 🤯🤯🤯!!).

For everyone - CALM App… EXCELLENT!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I’m with @Royaly82! 💖 it!! I have had it since it started… WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I use it daily for ALL kinds of stuff!! Loads of diaries, notes, stories, resources, it’s bloody brilliant!!!

Good Luck! I hope everyone manages at least some rest…x

Noras where are you going on holiday?
We are also going away for a week today i couldn't take my tablets last night as I wanted to be awake to say goodbye to my son as I'm not sure when I will see him again as he is on leave from the army and goes back the day before we arrive home, and he has just left the house to go and play aitsoft with his brothers.

🤗.. sending positive vibes and thoughts x

Enjoy holidays ( and @Noras!)….and good luck to your son x

You need to download the Merlin app!

I have it @rivalsbinge but it was so loud and not bird like I never thought to try and identify it until after I saw the owl (then it flew away 😞). I thought it was a fox or other beastie

Ding, ding round 2! I managed 2 hours sleep last night, tonight the wee person is sleeping but my brain is wide awake and buzzing. 🫪

Its awful isnt it when you just cant switch off

I’m still up as DD coming back from festival in half an hour hopefully. DH snoring like a rhino beside me🙄

Its absolutely pissing it down here. I have a velux window about a ft above my bed.
Its so loud so not sleeping again.
