A thread for the 3 am crew

Good Morning early risers. I’ve had an undisturbed 4 hours, which is enough for me. It’s stopped raining, no heating on, so it must be milder today.

grandmatte I m exactly the same I m a definite 3 am girl and just woke again at 5 am never heard of of

Doesn’t feel so cold in the house to me and I can’t hear any wind outside so maybe a better day today however poking at my phone ‘weather’ says 3 degrees fees like -5 so maybe I m kidding myself
No plans for today I hate days with nothing on the horizon so much I should do but I end up doing none of it Ido need structure

I haven’t looked out, but it’s less cold than yesterday. 5am today. Brilliant!
I have had at least one more hour a night since I have been posting on here. Did this thread cause this?
Go back to sleep topsy, nah! Very rarely. I tend to shorten the other end of the day….

Morning! I have had about 4 hours sleep but need more! My arthritic hip wakes me most nights and tonight is one of them. I have been waiting over a year for theatre. Now they are changing me to a surgeon with a shorter list but that was about a month ago and I have not had an appointment yet.
I hope you have all got back to sleep

Been awake for about half an hour hope to have another couple of hours sleep 🙏🏻Definitely not as cold this morning.

Rain here, tho it doesn't feel so chilly, and listening to my sea waves sounds, tho if I don't go back to sleep its "Beyond Paradise" light viewing, lap top on its side in bed.

Just spotted this thread, good idea. Woke at 4 today for a change. Just made a tea ☕️. Hope it won’t be quite as cold, does say rain later though for Bedfordshire area.

Another one here, regularly awake at 3am.i listen to podcasts and often drift off back to sleep but if that doesn't work, I get up and make some chamomile tea.

I can't often settle to read at night and I do look at my phone though not for long. It's amusing being joined by posters in Australia. I went to Australia in 2018, the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, I loved it and would love to return for another trip but I don't know if that's possible. This is a good idea for a thread, nice to know others are awake and it's inspiring to see how productive some of you are.

It doesnt feel quite so cold, but I am just about to venture downstairs for a mug of tea and will check outside. I have probably had 5 hours sleep.

Yesterday I couldn't get warm all day and feel a bit achey now. I expect I was tensing muscles all day long as I felt so chilly. It must be so good to be in Scandinavia and have frequent saunas in the winter to heat you up deep down.

Right tea and a hottie refill. I think an electric blanket is on the cards.

Hello to anyone awake out there. I went to bed at 11 pm. Seemed to take ages to get to sleep. My watch tells me I've slept for 2 hrs 48 mins. I'm waiting for my cup of camomile, honey and ginger tea to cool. Hopefully I'll sleep once I return to bed.

The dig barking. Usually means she needs to go out, but she got to the door, looked at the rain and went back to bed, so I will too. Hopefully sleep will arrive soon.

I’m just going to bed. It’s lashing down with rain here in Durham. My leg was really aching earlier and I couldn’t get it comfortable, but it seems to have settled down - hopefully, it won’t keep me awake.

Good middle-of-the-night to anyone awake…… as usual I have no idea what’s woken me up, so I’ve had a hot drink, been to the loo and looked out the window to see what the weather’s doing- it’s not freezing here unlike the last few days.
I can see a couple of houses with lights on, I often wonder who else is up and why? The lovely couple opposite have beautiful baby twins so it’s not unusual for them to have a light on in the middle of the night.
Hopefully I will get back to sleep soon…..

When I posted at 7 am I got very cozy and dozed off again until I was wakened up by the phone ringing.
It was my Goddaughter who, with her H was at Manchester airport having dropped their D off to catch a flight to the Philippines via Singapore.
I hadn’t seen them for about 3 years and could they drop in for coffee?
I hastily got up, threw some clothes on and was decent by the time they arrived.What a lovely visit we had, they stayed two hours before leaving for their journey home south of Nottingham , so good to see them and catch up on all their news but after a bite of lunch I was ready for a nap.
How will tonight go now I wonder?
It makes me feel very old that they are 62 and 60 and I met my GD’s parents in my teens.
They have both died now.

When I posted at around 5.30 this morning I nearly posted on the Good Morning one, Michael starts that pretty early. I think I must have had a better night, that's a relatively late time for this this thread, positively the break of day in fact.

Sorry all you early risers that I didn’t carry on the conversation this morning but the internet decided to go on a very go- slow, indeed not there! All fine today. After a few hours awake, did manage to sleep which meant a very slow start this morning.

I was awake around 4 .30 this morning because our dog wanted to go outside. My hands were too cold to start using my phone.

I was awake at 4 but like BlueBelle too cold for my hands to be out the covers to hold my iPad!

Ah just been looking at various posts and have found you all. I shall come and join you in the night sometimes. Sorry that you are all not sleeping too but it will be good to feel there is someone out there reading the posts and that I am not the only one wide awake at stupid o clock.

This is a great thread if you’re awake early. Strangely, since I noticed it and thought a bit of company would be a good idea,I’ve slept through till six the last few days.

Exactly the same here, is this the solution, un-intentionally waking up??

Woke 5.30 ish by my cat wanting her first breakfast... second one is at 8.30 😅
Back to bed to just wander the internet.

I dozed off and have been awake for 10 minutes, a very quick trip to the bathroom and snuggled down again with a warm cat on my knees, it is-3% !!

Another decent night for me, that’s two in a row, so I’ll be paying for that soon.
I like the window open, I like a cold breeze on my face, but be snuggled up and warm.
I think I sleep better when it’s cold

A bit of a disturbed night, but didn’t wake finally until 5:57. That I consider good. Hope others had a good night too.
