Animals, Health, Mental health, Insomnia, Dogs and Sleep: I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep

By wishingIwassingle - 15/01/2023 15:00 - United Kingdom - Leicester

Today, after weeks of being up nights to hand feed nine puppies, I, an insomniac, finally got to sleep during the day, which isn't easy for me, only to be woken by my partner asking me a stupid question that was unimportant, then made to feel like a jerk for being angry. I'm now stuck awake, pissed. FML

Sleepless in Longfield

Today, after not being able to sleep for two hours because my boyfriend wouldn't stop talking, he fell asleep and I was left wide awake. I listened to him snore for another three hours and only got a couple of hours sleep. He's not working today, but I am. FML

Selfish tit

Today, I'm running on two hours sleep thanks to our new baby. My partner slept all night, and when I asked them to take over so I could have a nap, they ran to bed, saying that they needed to sleep. Why? Apparently, the baby noise woke them up "once or twice" and they needed the extra sleep more than me. FML

Today, after 3 nights of insomnia, I was finally able to doze off. My boyfriend woke me up just to ask which soda in the fridge was mine. FML

Let me sleep

Today, after weeks of insomnia, I fell asleep. This would have been great if my brother didn't wake me up at 3 a.m., screaming because his guild finally took down a raid boss. I'm now grounded for thumping him, and have to do all his chores while sleep deprived. FML

Today, I'm exhausted and sore from a long night of pulling semis out of the snow. My wife is pissed because I want to sleep, instead of be with her. Every time I drift off, she starts doing things like loudly unloading the dishwasher or standing by our bedroom door talking loudly on the phone. FML

Today, my newborn daughter has kept me up all day and all night for the past few days. Usually my husband sleeps. I finally cracked and yelled for his help, only for him to scream at me that he needs sleep and gives her to me anyway. FML

Today, after a very poor night's sleep, I've had to stay awake and do housework while my husband, who slept like a baby last night, keeps on sleeping because he "didn't sleep well." He was snoring all night long, the reason I didn't sleep well. FML

Today, I woke up feeling like shit after I had spent the whole night taking care of my sick boyfriend. He got up early, feeling great, bouncing around the house. When I finally got up I told him I didn't feel well and he yelled at me for being a bitch in the morning that slows him down. FML

I'm only sleeping

By Anonymous - 26/09/2022 19:30

Today, I woke up at noon after barely sleeping. I've been diagnosed with sleeping disorders, so this isn't out of the ordinary. The issue is, my boyfriend doesn't think it's a big deal, and is mad at me for wanting to stay in bed after he got up. FML

You deal with it

Today, I found out that my partner intentionally acts like she sleeps through our baby's cries in the middle of the night, just to force me to do all the late night feeds and diaper changes. FML

What was the question? What if it was important to him? Why can't we know that? What are you trying to hide? Do the puppies need to go out? Are you feeding them enough? Are all of them getting the amount they need? Or are you feeding them too much? Am I asking enough question? Do you need me to ask more?

Hi there ops partner firstly I am a woman so not him, also my question was dumb in hind sight, I asked them if they wanted a cuppa, caffine.... whilst they were in bed trying to sleep. Also secondly dont be a dick, my misses yes we are both women works bloody hard, I am currently unemplyed but they work and have been hand rearing puppies who finally went to be rehomed by the recue center we volunteer for, she works damned hard to make sure their weight is perfect and they get everything they need and despite her shifts still feeds them. Think Richard you have a chip on your shoulder and given your attitude I would be stunned if you even knew the scent of a woman without raiding her garbage.

Ops partner here so I was dumb I asked them if they wanted a cup of tea, they were sleeping, I offered them caffine.... whilst they were trying to sleep, I admittedly did get huffy we bioth havent been sleeping well and with their anxiety they dont sleep well after being stressed out, I messed up and at the time didnt apologize cause I thought offering a cuppa to a sleeping person was nice. I admittedly goofed and really need to apologize.
