Tell BleepBleeps the ridiculous sleep-deprived things you've done - £300 voucher to be won! NOW CLOSED

[EmmaMumsnet]

Everyone knows that having children and getting a good night’s sleep don’t go hand in hand, and that in a sleep deprived state we can do some pretty silly things. Obviously sleep deprivation is not fun to deal with but it does cause some pretty amusing situations – even if they may not seem funny at the time...! BleepBleeps would like to hear about the most ridiculous things you have done due to your DCs keeping you up at night.

Here’s what BleepBleeps have to say: ‘Thank you so much for joining us on our mission for a good night’s sleep for all the family. We are so excited to announce the latest addition to the BleepBleeps family! Suzy Snooze: a Smart Baby Monitor, Sleep Trainer, and Nightlight all in one.

She’s the first of her kind, an innovative sleep companion that helps babies, children and the whole family get a great night’s rest. We’ve created Suzy with the Mumsnet community, and Professor Colin Espie - Chief Medical Officer of Sleepio.

We are so excited to show off everything she can do, take a peek at our Kickstarter page to watch our new video and hear what Mum’s (and babies) think of Suzy, and if you like it we’d love it if you can support us to bring her to life!

Thank you so much!

Tom & the BleepBleeps team.’

To find out more about Suzy Snooze take a look at this short video and please let us know your thoughts below

So what stupid things have you managed to do when in dire need of some decent sleep? Have you gone to the supermarket in your pyjamas? Have you put your keys in the fridge? Managed to use face cream instead of toothpaste? Or even tried to use the TV remote as a phone?

Whatever silly things you have got up to, add your story below and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one Mumsnetter will win a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck!

Put a cup in the washing machine not dishwasher. I did retrieve it again before turning machine on!

DD2 was about a week old and DD1 was approaching 2.

I forgot to put a nappy on DD1 in the morning and had even fastened her vest and put leggings on (!) We went to grandparents to visit, I had even put DD1 down for a midday nap upstairs in the spare bed. It was late afternoon about 2, and she was sitting on the sofa arm, and said 'I'm all wet'. I checked and sure enough she had wet herself but where was her nappy?? Cue me being frantic and running upstairs to check the bed and wherever else she could have had an accident but everything was completely dry.. We put it down to me being sleep deprived and dd1 doing really well to have stayed dry all morning, (I'd got her ready late that morning so that would have helped). Toilet trained her a few months later and she learnt very quickly. Could have been worse...

Threw myself out of bed onto the floor because I was convinced I'd fallen asleep feeding the baby and it was rolling out of bed. Baby was fast asleep in the cot.

Personally I've only done the usual stuff like putting my purse in the fridge while leaving the milk on top of the counter etc.

However my husband, after one particularly bad night with our first baby, decided to do some DIY - we had loose floorboards that needed hammering down - however he didn't notice that there were electrical cables in the way, hammered nails through them, fused the entire house and almost electrocuted himself!

Realised that I had odd shoes on. Slip on mule types one blue open toed and the other black with a closed toe. Different heel heights too (how did I not notice that).
I was sitting in the dentists chair at the time.

After a bad night (courtesy of me,unfortunately,being ill with a racking cough) my DP took the TV remote control to work in his pocket,he mistook it for his phone.

Making tea for OH and put formula milk in his tea and gave him it. He asked if the milk was off!

This was actually my husband, although I saw it all unfold and was so tired it didn't occur to me to actually say anything.

DH was loading baby DD into the car in the morning and put his black work laptop bag down behind the wheel of the car (why oh why would anyone do that!). I saw it from my car, parked behind DH's. I reversed my car, DH reversed his... bump, bump... it went under both the back and front wheels. I even saw DH put the reversing lights on and still didn't engage my brain to put 2 + 2 together! Poor DH thought he'd run over the cat, twice!

TBH, the laptop (Apple Macbook Pro) started up okay, screen was knackered and despite running a little hot, DH got all the data off it. Luckily we had sorted out comprehensive insurance for it before we had the baby!

Last week (DS is 1yo), I poured boiling water from the kettle onto my cereal instead of milk. Pretty much the exact opposite liquid Was particularly annoying as I only put enough to boil in the kettle for my cup of tea (which was next to the bowl of cereal).

I was feeling so grotty one morning with a cold during early motherhood and what with lack of sleep I was totally not on this planet! I went downstairs boiled the kettle and then poured Lemsip in a cup. My plan was to make a Lemsip in one cup and a cup of tea in another cup.. However I got distracted with little one and then when I came back into the kitchen proceeded to make my cup of tea in the same cup that I'd just put Lemsip into just a little while before! Once made I took the "cup of tea" to the front room sat down took a sip and couldn't quite understand why it tasted so bad! But soon figured out what the heck I had done!!!! :)

Poured coffee all over my cereal - and ATE it on autopilot. It wasn't until I picked up a mug of milk to drink instead of the coffee that I realised what had happened...

poured cereal.put on table for everyone.sat down.
"luvvie,its tea time"
bugger!!

Microwaved my mobile phone.
Poured Pepsi into the baby bottle.
Cried over a misshapen carrot

Coffee in the fridge and milk in the cupboard is a common one. I drove daughter to nursery on a Saturday and it took me ages to work out why it was closed.

Went into the bathroom to get washed and dressed....took my PJs off, washed, then instead of getting dressed, I put my PJs back on by mistake. Didn't cotton on until I was leaving the house!
Oh, and I boiled the kettle and, instead of pouring hot water into my mug, I poured it into the tea caddy (over all the teabags).

Putting the phone in the fridge! :)

I once put my shoes in the fridge and the milk in the shoe box, didn't realize for ages. Found the shoes in the fridge couldn't find the milk put on the cold shoes walked to the shops brought more milk, went to put shoes away found extra milk

Have got up for work - showered - dressed - then my partner has looked at me and reminded me it's the weekend.

I have put the washing machine on with no powder in it many times.

We always have 'real' coffee in the morning. I have been known to open a new pack of ground coffee and pour it all into the cafetiere rather than the coffee jar by its side on the work surface.

Knocked on my neighbours door thinking it was mine to ask my husband why he had locked me out only to have a go at female neighbour for being in my house with my husband. I had slept for 2 hours in 5 days. (I had walked out of my own house to do this.....

Put dirty nappy in fridge.

Filled my mug of tea with cold milk, followed by a splash of water from the kettle!

Once while I was working nights I woke up about 8.30am to find my child missing (he often shared my bed so I always knew If he woke) I couldn't get hold of my mum I started panicking etc I called the police all the neighbours were looking it was awful.

Apparently my mum had come in to my house, woke me up told me she was taking my son out for the morning so I could catch up on sleep.

I apparently had a full conversation and couldn't remember a thing!
