Hi lovely FOFashionistas! I’m working on a story about sleep loss over the holidays — I’m looking for someone who can attest to staying up really late or waking up really early to shop online for gifts. The more extreme the story and the more details you can give me, the better. Thanks ladies.

    I shopped like a maniac at all hours of the night and day trying to fulfill my grandkids wishlist for Christmas. I was on a deadline because the items had to be shipped to their home in time for our pre-Christmas visit. My computer crashed a couple of times as well as a few websites I visited. This caused me to have to start my orders all over from scratch on more than one occassion. I also had to call a few customer support lines. All in all it was worth all the stress. All my gifts arrived in time for our visit and the kids were happy. I do admit that I was overly stressed, sleep deprived and tired because of the self-imposed goals I set for myself. These are the things we do for our family….

    Hi, I can attest to the late nights for the past 3weeks. Awake until 2-3 am & then awake for the day at 6-7. I am exhausted, all in search of the best deals & bargains across the web. Trying to save every penny this year on each gift. I’ve even bgt several gifts & then rebought them elsewhere because I found them at a discount of $20 or more to justify the cost of shipping back or driving to the mall to return to the local store. Then add in the baking & regular shopping plus I am raising a 3.5 yr old so sleep, shopping, cooking, playing, & who am I again? Oh yea.. Anyway I’ll be happy when this Christmas has past. Although then I’ll be online trying to find all the best yet least expensive beauty products for the dark circles & droopy eyes!

    My favorite time to shop is the middle of the night in my pjs. I love the internet because I hate shopping in stores. I can research prices and products and make better decisions

    So sorry I can’t really help with this story. If I’m shopping online, I need to be wide awake or I spend too much on stuff I don’t need. And when my eyes really open, see that it might be something I really don’t like. I am an early riser, but not to online or insomnia shopping.

    I sleep with my laptop and Christmas gift list next to me. When I can’t sleep or wake up at really odd hours, I order gifts. You are not sleep deprived because you can turn over and go back to sleep once you place your orders.
