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

I’m sure there used to be a night owls board or thread maybe? I’m around haven’t been to sleep yet as (TMI) my consultant w ate me on laxatives, long story so I’m up and down like a yo yo trying not to disturb the family, so staying away for a while longer but no doubt will be back later.

Whats up OP how come you can’t sleep or keep waking? Are you in the house alone?

There did used to be a regular night owls thread. We just used to say hello and chat. It was lovely.

I sometimes listen to storm noises to help me sleep. Not sure if real life ones would work that close!

@BeardySchnauzer we have separate rooms, so all good but animals on bed

Yeah I have 2 dogs on the bed and a fly has just entered the conversation

once dd is home the dogs will be palmed off onto the kids! I dream of separate rooms!!

I think I managed about 2 hours in the last 24. Not only do I have cancer and chemo to contend with, but my Dad is on his last legs too. He is in his 90s and it's expected but I am waiting for the phone call as I can't be with him. It sucks.

@BeardySchnauzer it's amazing! Dh has the loft conversion. I believe he has the other dog and cat.
I love my room, I have walkin wardrobe and ensuite. I can't imagine going back.

I’m going to have to build a shed for him

I’m awake because it’s my first night alone as my husband passed away a week ago.

I am so sorry that was me 3 years ago. The pain is horrendous xxxx I wanted to throw myself in traffic outside the hospital but still here'. I wish I could make it better for you

Seawolves · 31/08/2026 00:56

I am so sorry @Pieceofpurplesky that is incredibly tough.

Pieceofpurplesky · 31/08/2026 00:57

Thanks @Seawolvesam having a pity party for one and can't even drown it with a glass of red!

I’m awake watching Trigger point. Always slept badly but going through a break up is making it worse

WhatNextImScared · 31/08/2026 01:48

I was working late and now i’m suffering awful period pain. Waiting for a gynae referral; looks like it will endometriosis or something. I’m on a cocktail of drugs but nothing really helps.

Alarm goes off at 7am 😵‍💫

sorry we’re all in this shit together x

Same here but I love it. Even when it’s hammering down loudly I find it strangely relaxing and reassuring

rivalsbinge · 31/08/2026 02:09

I did manage to sleep but just got woken up by a mozzie buzzing in my ear, I hate those things with a passion.

like it’s not bad enough having pain and under investigation for the pains but then to fall asleep and get woken by a tiny weenie buzzy bastard!

We should 100% bring back the ongoing night owls thread love reading all of your stories but big hugs as some of us are really in the wars.

into wonder if these awake nights are just a woman’s thing as well as all the DHs seem to be snooring. My DH is in another room but sleeps likes log pretty much every single night.

My endo pain would always kick in like clockwork at 4am. It was so annoying Flowers
