My almost four month old has been awake for 2.5 hours and counting. Feels like we will never sleep again. No point to this post other than I am thoroughly bored and fed up. Anyone else up?

Thanks

Oh no @Aphotoaday I sympathise! No work for me fortunately as on mat leave, just need to get the toddler out the house to pre school.

Good luck with the toddler wrangling. Does your baby sleep during the day, hopefully you can catch up then.

Thanks

Been awake since 1. Went to sleep at 11. New medication is causing insomnia. Work at midday, and I know I'm going to be a zombie

Thanks

Been awake since 2.30am. Own fault, went to bed at 8.30pm. I could get up and do things but I just love being in bed 😂

Thanks

Been awake since 3:30. Leave for a twelve hour shift at 7.

Luckilu ( or not!) it’s something I’m used to on and off over the years though I think peri menopause is probably a factor now!
I usually sleep ok the next night after insomnia and work cos I’m shattered

Good luck to everyone running on little sleep today. I’ve just made a coffee while the baby sleeps.
