When you wake up in the middle of the night...

[Amy SF]

...what do you do?

 

[Moll Flanders]

I go to the bathroom usually as I drink so much during the day. Then I usually go downstairs and get a glass of water and give my cats some food if they have empty bowls and then the dog wakes up and needs to go out to the garden.

I used to get up totally and go on the internet or watch TV but now I get back into bed and try to go back to sleep.

 

[Mel]

Either bathroom, or go back to sleep. I get little sleep and wake up at 5am for work most mornings. No time for all this other stuff!

 

[PTree15]

Go right back to sleep unless I have to go to the bathroom, which is the main reason I wake up in the middle of the night.

 

[Chryssie]

I never get up and do stuff other than going to the bathroom. I try to go back to sleep without getting up if possible!

Check the time and calculate how much sleep I have the potential to get if I can fall back asleep.

And if I'm sure my girlfriend isn't awake to make fun of me, I might check Facebook.

 

[beancounter]

Get up to pee, and go back to sleep.

 

[shyvas]

I usually try and get back to sleep. However, if I'm awake for over 1/2 hour, I get up and have a cup of coffee and watch the news.

It's 2:22 am...been awake a little over an hour. If I fall back to sleep now, I'll be happy if I sleep until 5 am.

Hubby is snoring so I'm on the couch checking in on FB and VV.

I'm awake since 3 am and up since 3.30 am.. We should have a chat.

 

[Calliegirl]

Check the clock every few minutes and get stressed at how my sleeping time is shrinking.

Well, 5 am isn't happening. I did fall back to sleep but I am wide awake at 4:22. I can't 'get up' because 1. the cats will think it's time for breakfast; 2. I don't want Bratt to start crying from his crate, thinking its morning and that everyone is up.

Ah, poor you. Shyva usually carries on sleeping for at least an hour or two after I get up.

It's going to be a long day for me as I've been up for the last 7 hours !

 

[shyvas]

Awake at 3.30 am and up at 4 am.

"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper seems to keep coming to mind when I see this thread,

 

[gloaming]

I have severe chronic insomnia, so I'm up every hour or two all night long. When I'm up, I stare at the closet, take random pictures of the dogs sleeping, video my boyfriend snoring, raid the fridge, and jump on Tapatalk. Sometimes I think my nights are more interesting than my days! Lol

I kept getting that Billy Joel song in my head after seeing this thread, I thought it was called In the middle of the night but it was called The River of Dreams.

 

[Danielle]

go back to sleep right away usually
