Feeling sick and can't sleep. Who else is awake?

**acidcookie** · 06-09-2008, 02:39 AM

It's 2:36 here at my house and I can't sleep. I was finishing a book for a lab group presentation tomorrow and was feeling pretty awake so decided to start typing the review now rather than wait till morning. But right as I was getting started on that at maybe 1:30am, I started feeling incredibly nauseated. So I crawled back into bed, but now I can't sleep. I feel awful.

Anyone else awake?

I'm up, running on fumes of nervousness.

Are you used to being up this late? I know it's not good to eat in the middle of the night, but if you're not used to being up, maybe you could use something to eat?

**acidcookie** · 06-09-2008, 03:07 AM

Maybe. I'm not sure what my schedule is anymore--it has varied so much in the past week (up till 7am one night, sleeping till 2pm, up till 4am, back up at 10am...). Being up at 1am isn't that foreign to me. I did eat a granola bar at 1:00 because my stomach was painfully empty while I was reading. I usually don't let myself eat that late, but I realized I was pretty awake and would still be up for maybe another hour.

Strangely, I'm really craving some broth or noodle soup. Do I have the energy to make it? It's times like this I hate living alone

I am up but it is only 5 in the arvo here in Australia. I sympathise with you being unwell. I hope you are feeling much better in the morning.
Cheers froggy

I'm up too. It's 12am here. I can't sleep and I have a lot of errands to run tomorrow that I'm dreading. (DMV! Ugh!)

Yeah I have a lab meeting at 11am which seems far away, but before that I go to the gym to lift weights, and I walk to get to campus, and I still have to prepare this presentation in the morning before I go so I really only have maybe 4 hours before I have to be up.

If this goes on much longer I will have to tell my advisor I just can't do it this week.

I'm still up, but I really shouldn't be. I have a feeling my kids will decide that tomorrow is a get up early day.....not good for Mommy.

4:20 am here. been up since 3:50 getting DS off to work for the week.
Then going back to bed until 7 something
Hope you start feeling better.

**ellentje** · 06-09-2008, 05:24 AM

Well, I suppose you have all gone to bed now.
I am up, but it is 11.24am here in Europe, so that is no competition.

I do hope you'll be feeling better in the morning (((hugs)))

I'm still up. No longer feeling sick, but figure now I may as well get this book summary done. Don't think I'll be walking to campus though. It will be 95° and with just a few hours sleep ...

Feel better. Between the lack of sleep and the heat, I agree, it's probably not the best thing for you to walk to school. Take care of yourself

I had a sleepless night but never got up out of the bed. Uncle Arthur (arthritis) called on me all night......

(this is what you have to look forward to in early old age......rofl) I thought about getting up and booting up the puter but didn't, I just tossed and turned and kept Gripey from getting a good night's sleep too. Glad you're not sick feeling anymore.
