Sleep? Not happening...

It's now a few minutes before 4 am and I am wide awake. I decided to get out of bed and do something instead of just laying in bed and tossing and turning.
I woke up around 2 am drenched in sweat. I obviously had a fever since the AC was on and it was cool in the bedroom. I changed pajamas and got back in bed. I tried to get back to sleep but it just wasn't happening. So here I am.
I can only contribute the trouble I am having to not sleeping to this antibiotic I am on for the bladder infection.
This is not the way I anticipated starting the day, but we will try to make the most out of it. I'm off to kick some notifications out of my inbox.

@florelway I will probably stay up now. I just put some coffee on so I will enjoy a cup or two and MyLot away.

I was sleepless last night mainly because I stayed awake to watch my favourite programme and then at 1 am I was wide awake. Never mind I thiought, I can lie in tomorrow as it's Sunday, but my dog had other ideas

I'm sorry you were awake so early. I woke in a sweat this morning too, but I don't have the A/C on. Not needed. I do have all the windows open though and the ceiling fan going in my bedroom through the night.
Will you get a nap later for being up so early?
Getting up early is standard for me.

It's Macrobid Macrodantin. I'm not taking anymore. Will send doctor a note in the morning but I do believe I'm having a bit of an allergic reaction to it and no sleep. Woke up at 2 am this morning, was am yesterday morning. That isn't going to cut it.
