Night owls of reddit, what is keeping you up past midnight tonight?

My congrats gift to you is a tip that when you change nappies lift the top for a second to let the air hit it and put the top back down for a minute to catch the pee.

He’s just dirty deleted 90% of his comments. What a crazy person dampening down something exciting that most pregnant women love to find out! Not letting it dampen me, just a shame that my child is still inside of me and I’m getting lectured on pronouns. Crazy!

whatsername235@reddit

Pretty sure they got deleted for them! You've got a great attitude towards it, don't let one absolute maniac ruin it for you and your little guy! Finding out my little one was a girl was honestly so important. I had multiple miscarriages and never got to that stage before. It's an exciting time for everyone for various reasons. For someone to try to take it away from you is pretty disgusting. If my girl turns round one day and tells me she's a boy, it's never going to change that moment I found out I was going to have a daughter. If one day, she's my son then that's what happens and my baby will be loved as they are. You still get the excitement. You still get to choose his name. Congratulations again. It's clear from your replies, your baby is loved so much already

Look I’m all for being accepting of trans people, and if my SON decides he wants/is a female then by all means I’ll support him. The fact my son is in my womb with a very clearly visible penis, I will be calling him my son until said point he decides otherwise.

As someone currently recovering from life saving major surgery, who has nearly died on multiple occasions and who can't even function properly, I have zero privelege.

tekkenmusic@reddit

Stop it with your absolute cis privilege, this isn’t my own issue, I speak for hundreds of thousands, please do not be a biggot, the child is biologically male yes but gender wise they are not a male as they’re not even born so they cannot decide. So you don’t know the gender of the baby your having

Reply

whatsername235@reddit

OK. You need help. I know many trans people and not one of them would deny a pregnant woman the moment of finding out the gender of her baby. In on team at work, there's around 20 of us. 4 are trans. And you know what? Every single one of us was happy for our colleague every step of the way. You also choose be offended that I'm cis. One, how did you know? Also, why is that something you choose to use in an offensive way? This IS your issue. The fact you specifically chose to attack a random person congratulating a pregnant woman on having a good day for finding out the gender of the baby in her belly is disturbing. It's nothing to do with her or my opinions on gender, sex or identity. The level of anger is unhinged.

tekkenmusic@reddit

I’m not attacking, I said ‘congratulations’ in my first comment, I was merely correcting the persons use of terminology to be inclusive of trans people. I don’t care for you’re ’ I have a trans friend’ throwaways. I’m offended that you’d say this and not even think about how it affects trans people. No one is assigned gender at birth they are assigned sex so saying ‘it’s a boy’ is a lie because it may be a boy/girl/ non binary we don’t know yet until it’s around 12 and able to say what it would like to be reffered to as

I do this, but without the diagnosis and I have kids so it's free time after the kids go to bed. I will never understand people who put their kids to bed at 8 and then get themselves to bed by like 10. That's barely enough time to prep for the next day, let alone enjoy the quiet part of the day.

I have both an older (about 10 years old at this point) Challenge 8000 BTU, and the newer one of the same model name because it was on an absurdly cheap offer. Both work great, newer one is much quieter and vibrates far less though. My room, which is in a roof and absolutely void of insulation and is either frozen or a sauna, stays at around 20c even when we hit 40c outside a few summers ago. They are *so* worth it.

It's both awesome, because you can get stuff done without being bothered by people. But also - terrible, because you wake up at less socialable hours than the rest of the country, which in the winter pretty much means going to sleep when it's getting light and waking up when it's dark. Also when you actually HAVE to be up for an appointment, it's a much bigger hassle - when that appointment is for other people at a normal time, but for nightowls - like 2 to 3 hours before we are normally awake.

A mobile one! I even washed the outside and the roof on Wednesday, with a bucket of soapy water, car sponge, scrubbing brush and an outdoor floor brush to reach the middle of the roof.

Bought it last January and I love it, but my husband has refused to even go inside…this is the first time he’s agreed to stay in it.

AnonymousTimewaster@reddit

Absolutely not an opportunity unfortunately. Less than two years service so no big payout except my notice period. *This* was supposed to be my big chance. I love the company and the work they do. It's genuinely good, impactful stuff. I loved my manager. Flexi time, wfh. Decent benefits. Really decent pay (for the job/industry). I genuinely saw myself staying in that role for a really long time and I've literally never had that before. I've hated literally every other full time job I've had. But because the higher ups made some awful financial decisions, people like me took the brunt of it and left without a paddle. Obviously with less than 2 years in a role it's going to be a struggle to use this to move elsewhere in this dire market. It's people like your boss and these higher ups that have absolutely no idea what financial insecurity looks like.

That’s still good news, already a step forward! One door closes, another opens. My redundancy was 2 years ago, my friend and I who had just moved away to a completely new city for a new job, both got made redundant within 3 weeks of starting which was comical to say the least. No notice, just a call from the HR and a cold goodbye at roughly at 8am. A few panicked weeks later, we ended up in a decent company and have since worked our ways up. Life is strange.

General overall pain. I'm out of shape and spent 7 hours today filling a skip with old roof timber. It was from my late father's decrepit shed, which is a half built 30 year old eyesore. The community hated it and I think he left it that way just to piss them off! https://preview.redd.it/w5l8lnqnxk2h1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b82eb4837fc687162b1c305de23d162cc88d5c2

The weird thing because the criteria changed I wasn't autistic when I got assessed at 10 but i most likely goinging to be when I get there. What y'all hyper fixating on tonight?

Im curious how I will react it's going to be a some time after the assessment for me to get medication. May its just be a starting effect maybe you are still just adjusting maybe it will help. I hope so. It helps with the impulsivity from what I have read this is the main plus point of medication. I'm in a weird spot rn I'm burnout everything hurts my brain berly functions and I have no energy but then I have so much energy and I feel way less pain when ADHD symptoms kick in untill they die down and I realise I hurt myself doing well everything. I did a quick Google of your comment and it's called the rebound effect. May be worth discussing with your doctor I leave the link below https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-medication-rebound/

I work in hospitality and so my sleep schedule is generally different from most people.

It’s a stressful and very different way of life when you work a job like this full time, but I do love it and wouldn’t change it for the world. I’m also drunk. For similar reasons.

My partner recently is just getting closer and closer to my side of the bed when he is asleep, to the point where he is taking up half of my pillow and his side is EMPTY????. I end up hanging off the bed with a knee in my back& because he’s so close I can feel and hear his breath right in my ear and I simply can’t sleep. I’ve been getting like 2 -4 hours a night for about a week. I am dreading going to bed because I know I’ll be laying there trying to sleep for way longer than I’m actually asleep. When I do fall asleep, I will get woken up. Multiple times. I hate bed time now😂

Fell asleep on settee. Woken by my cat yowling at the front window. Opened the curtain to see what had riled her and a little stray kitten on the window sill outside. Poor thing was starving and had pulled food from my bin. It was really friendly, but nervous. I couldn’t bring it in because my cat would have attacked it. I took some food, water and crunchies out for it ( it wolfed it down). It then ran off into the night. Its pretty warm tonight, but I live on a busy street, so I’m now sat up in bed, worrying…

The night time is the only time I feel safe from some event befalling me that will send me into a depression/panic ridden spiral. No bills or people at the buzzer/on my phone with bad news etc. As pathetic and sad as that sounds I feel like the late/wee hours are “my time” and I actually get quite a lot done (quietly) compared to what I accomplish earlier on. Plus I know if I do go to sleep I’ll toss and turn for an hour to hours before I can quiet my mind so I try and limit that by only going to bed when I’m knackered.

I was making silly mistakes and just not working to the standard I'd hoped. I'm trying to just think 'learn from it and move forward'. I didn't kill anyone and actually nothing untoward really happened at all but, I keep repeating it in my head over and over and over. I need a flip-top skull so that when something gets stuck in a loop like now I can reach into my brain and just pull it out.

That’s just my sleeping pattern. 31 wfh flexible working so all good. Currently putting some work into my BJJ Management sim game I’ve been deleting for a while now. Hoping to be ready to release on steam in a few weeks.

Can’t switch my brain off. Took the day off work for MCM London tomorrow. Never been to a convention. Worrying about all the steps associated with travelling to and from, and then all the things in between. I know it should be fun when I’m there.

I'm going back home in the morning. I always feel restless whenever I have to travel. My brain is stupid, it will be a 45 minute ride max, but I still feel anxious about it. 🙄

My husband woke me up with his snoring and now I can’t get back to sleep. I really need to get a good night but it’s not going to be now! Powered by coffee tomorrow!

I sat down for a cuddle with the cat, blinked and bam! It was 23:30 and I hadn't put the dishwasher on or brushed my teeth so I'm up, drinking some tea and confusing the cat.

I'm reducing some medication so that I can come off it. I feel like im doing it super sensibly but apparently it can cause insomnia. I am wide awake. Yet so tired! Just fell down a massive rabbit hole with a reddit post, which was also a bit grim so trying to clear my head before trying to get some sleep.

I've not long arrived home from work and had a shower. I like working late shifts (14:30 - 23:00) I see more daylight in the winter and I can wake up naturally and have a soft start to the day, rather than waking up to an alarm clock. I can get stuff done before I go to work. My commute is much easier and there's less management interference when I'm at work.
