Insomniacs Unite!

Re: Insomniacs Unite!

  • I haven't really had regularly occurring insomnia, so I've just been lurking this thread, but last night I did wake up at about 3:15 am and couldn't fall back asleep for a couple of hours. During that time I came up with a pretty genius idea for a travel app, or at least it seemed like a genius idea at the time, now it seems smart, but I have no clue how I would make it or sell the idea.
  • Up for the day at 3:45 so I made biscuits with homemade apple butter. :p Waking up this early isn't good for my weight gain. Dreading work today!

  • I was up every 2 hours last night - and then I slept half of today away so I have a feeling it's going to be a long night

  • Up, wide awake, and can't decide if I should get up or play on FB in bed and see if I can fall back asleep.

    When I wake up to pee around midnight or after 4am, I can usually fall back to sleep pretty well.

    Something about the 2am/2:30 witching hour.

    And so much I'm planning to do tomorrow... I mean today. Ugh

  • Tonight's bonus with not being able to sleep. We are about to start the last episode of season 2 of stranger things. 
  • Up for the second time tonight (11 am , now 3am) cause DH just rolled over and elbowed me in the face in his sleep. Lol. Then I had to pee... now here I am. 
  • @aheqoefamily yay for stranger things!!!! We are on episode 4 of the second season!
  • I was on a 4 or 5 day streak of sleeping like a champ, but something has hit me like a ton of bricks today and I'm just laying here with tears in my eyes tonight out of frustration, or anxiety, or something.   I don't really know (aside from Dr. Google) what exactly a panic attack entails, but it seems to match some of my symptoms.  

    Also F this phone and mobile Bump.  My battery has gone from 20% to 8% in the 90 seconds it has taken to compose this post. WTF
  • @elcd458 I totally noticed my phone doing same thing in the past week when I have the bump open. I thought I was going crazy.  I'm sorry about the panic attack. I get them as well.  I wish I had some advice to help but I don't have mine under control  :/ sometimes depending on what the trigger is, making lists helps, or taking a walk and getting fresh air.  I hope yours resolves soon! 

    2am here. Just grateful I have a vacation day tomorrow because I'm wide awake.  Was just about to fall asleep when DH texted me to tell me they had a working fire so now I'm the crazy wife listening to the fire scanner. Which I'm not quite sure if that helps or hurts my anxiety

  • @elcd458 i have noticed that too and even swiping out to shut it off doesnt help either :-/. I thought it was just an iPhone thing but guess not lol. 

    Its 3am and i just forced myself to pick up our living room. I am supposed to work tomorrow but dont see that happening as i developed a cold from the weather change and slept a good portion of the afternoon. SO said hed rather me just sit and rest but i feel extremely guilty since he worked 10hrs today and probably 12 hrs or longer tomorrow and i didnt even manage to clean house when ive been home since becore he woke up to go to work. I cant wait till my mom gets here to have some help. I was doing really good balancing everything but it just went down the toilet the last couple weeks. 
  • Uggghhh I was awake from 1-2:30 last night. I refused to get out of bed but I was getting soooo mad. I was so tired from working a 12
    hour day. Boo! Maybe I’ll sleep through the night tonight

  • I fell asleep at 5 am and got up at 8.  There will hopefully be a major nap during the day before picking DS1 up from school!

  • @elcd458 So sorry about the panic attack, those are horrible (especially in the middle of the night). Hope your day goes better. <3 And I absolutely hate mobile Bumping, I refuse to do it.

  • @Marley629 @djd0404 @elvenchick92686

    Thanks y'all! It's so annoying to be awake at night. I usually get sleepy around the time I need to be getting up... and then half the morning is gone. Ugh.
  • DID YOU KNOW:  You can get lightning crotch as you are drifting off to sleep? FUN FACT!  

    Also DH is lying in bed next to me asleep and will NOT STOP MOVING HIS FEET.  He is clearly dreaming about becoming a tap dancer, pedaling a very small bike, etc.  Or he has some horrible neurological condition... only time will tell.  
  • @elcd458 i much rather have the tap dancing. My SO shakes his ass back and forth like hes having sex and it wakes me up alllllll the time. Hes even thrown our cat off the bed in a dead sleep from doing it. He says its to free his nuts but still i dont want to be woken up by it multiple times a night. Especially since i spent three hours in the hospital tonight ugh. Im soo tired. 
  • hey everyone.  after a few nights of decent sleep, I was up wide awake again around 2am after going to pee.  I was up til probably at least 4.  I'm at work now, but I have no idea how I'll function the whole day.
    ugh.

    I had a few mini halloween candies last night while we were waiting for trick or treaters, and baby got *super* active for a while, more than usual, which kind of stressed me out.  We watched Hocus Pocus, and I convinced myself maybe baby had flipped all the way over (was head down at my appointment yesterday).  So I guess I was just extra stressed out and when I woke up I couldn't fall back asleep for a while.

  • DD woke up three times last night--still not sure why, but she was crying/whining more than usual so I got up and checked on her twice--once around 1 am and once around 2:30. After rocking her a bit at 2:30 she went down just fine, but I really need a night of uninterrupted sleep! If I can't get a good night's sleep tonight, DH may be getting a rude awakening--he can get up with her this weekend while I sleep in!

  • 11/2 3am, have been up since before 2. A combination of back pain and heartburn woke me, going to the bathroom roused my brain, then I spent an hour laying here thinking about problems at work. Now there is a train parked on the little side track thing honking it's horn incessantly.

    I came here for ideas. I may try again to sleep but if that doesn't work out I think I will go with learn to make biscuits. DH loves biscuits and gravy. I don't like them at all but I also can't really keep anything down other than cereal and cheesy gordita crunches so nothing cookable for me anyway. 

    Im thinking of all of you who have been on this thread before and who are back again after my current visit. Good luck!
