Too early? Insomnia vent

in December 2013 Moms
Is it too early to start the insomnia thread? I have been trying to sleep since midnight...I'm so bored...I made it through 22 levels of candy crush. Dh has been sick so he is sleeping quite sound, which I'm ok with. LO is up with me...which I love, but it's not helping since he's kicking me and is giving me indigestion.

I have a headache, and I've been sleepy all day, but I just feel like when it's time to go to bed my body screams "NO!!!!" Like a 3 year old... :-/
Sorry for the vent, I know many of you fight insomnia every night and I am so sorry for that. I usually can fall asleep after a half hour or so. (I wake up a few times, sometimes for 45 min to an hour), but tonight's the worst it's been. :-/

Who else is up?

    Sorry your having a rough night. 22 levels of candy crush, I'm impressed! I deleted it after I couldn't get past level 200

    This is my second run though as I deleted the game after it told me I had to start paying money to move on. Dh downloaded it on his kindle recently and told me there was another way to get the new levels, so I re-downloaded it. Lol

    My DH is like an elephant this morning getting ready for work, I just want to yell at him to be quiet!

    I wish dh could be up, but I really want him to feel better and he always does after he sleeps off whatever he catches.

    I think that's a man thing in general, my DH always feels better after a good long sleep.

    Must be. I can't sleep when I feel sick. Especially if my stomach is upset...which this indigestion is totally making me feel awful...

    Have you taken anything for it?

    Not yet. The thought of going ALL the way downstairs and ALL the way back up...just sounds awful. Hahaha but I might go grab some Dramamine. It will help with the insomnia too.

    I would, we need our sleep now. My bedside table is covered in things I might need through the night.

    Yah, and seeing as I go back to work next week--I can't get used to staying up like this. I would hate to have to chase 4 year olds on less than 4 hours of sleep...

    Omg I have severe congestion and a sore throat and I'm MISERABLE. I feel like I'm being like a man when a man has a cold. Only I'm a woman and I'm pregnant and can't take meds

    Well, I've taken Tylenol. And cough drops. And emergen-c immune. The neti pot does nothing for me. I've not been in any mood to go out and get anything else. And I'm already taking a few other meds as it is for other stuff

    I've always been too scared of the neti pot to try it. Lol

    I sure hope that those help some and you can get some relief soon!

    Thanks ladies. I hope y'all get some sleep. I actually have to work tomorrow night and hope I am feeling well enough for it. I guess I'm "lucky" I got sick on my two days off so I could just hide at home and focus on getting better (read: doing nothing)

    Ladies, tomorrow at Starbucks order the following: "Grande steamed apple juice with three pumps chai, one pump cinnamon."  No Carmel, no whipped cream, just order as written above.  It's magic to anyone who has a cold or cold symptoms.  My own personal creation. :)

    What exactly does it do? Help you get better faster? Seriously? And there's no coffee in it right? I don't like coffee. I think I've only been inside a Starbucks once in my life.

    ETA sounds a bit like apple cider

    Aweee @superspecialsnowflake! Don't be embarrassed! It could be anything causing you to snore, and YH could just be sensitive tonight. There are days when DH snores and I can sleep right through it, other nights I'm super sensitive and can't sleep at all with him snoring...

    Also, the drink sounds amazing! Where did you come up with it?

    This is me. Although the more pregnant I get I've noticed the less able I am to tolerate it.

    Medically I don't think it does anything significant.  It feels good on a sore throat and the heat helps loosen congestion.  That plus the sugar and small amount of caffeine offer your body a boost.  

    No coffee.  Chai is a spiced tea.  The drink tastes like Apple pie in a cup.


    Certainly will be my treat for doing errands tomorrow (that MUST be done tomorrow...) I will report back on its level of success! >mobile, so imagine "treat yo self" gif inserted here<

    Thanks for the tip, going to attempt the sleep again

    Up for my nightly hour of tossing and turning. Baby is doing the same it seems. Its so wonderfully cold here that I put flannel sheets on the bed and am so comfy that I should just be able to sleep but these cramps have other ideas.

    I'm sorry about the cramping. :-/ my baby is tossing and turning as well. I wish it was colder, my house is that awkward hot if you're under a blanket/cold if you're not...and even with one leg out and one leg under it still is not the temp I want.

    Meanwhile, here at the Snowflake household, I have apparently been snoring so loud that DH has taken refuge on the sofa.  I've never snored a day in my life!  I hope he's just being dramatic, but can't help being really embarrassed about the whole thing. :(

    Haha, mine came to bed after I fell asleep, and woke me up to tell me that I was snoring so loud... And asked to have sex... Ummm I was sleeping. No, and sorry I was snoring!

    Still up. At SSS's inspiration I had a hot mug of apple cider and a shower, and I feel better but still sick. And still awake. I think this night owl body has officially gone on strike from sleeping at night at all.
