You would think, since I'm getting a total of maybe six hours of sleep every night in three- or four-hour increments, that I would be really tired. You would think I would be tired enough that my brain isn't occupied at 2 a.m. with such useful thoughts as what I'll have for breakfast when I get up in a few hours or what Cubby will wear that day. You would think I would be sleeping instead of focusing on the day ahead.
You would think, but you would be wrong.
ANNOYING.
Having a baby has led me to discover that I ONLY wake up feeling refreshed on less than 5 hours of sleep, or more than 9. No middle ground. WTF? ANNOYING.
ReplyDeleteSO, what DID you have for breakfast? Teasing. Hope you are able to sleep during the day when Cubby does. Your job is raising him. So don't feel bad if you do nap during the day. Eventually , I hear you will be able to sleep all night. :) Beth

what you wake up feeling like in the morning
Just wait until he's sleeping through the night and you're still waking up every 4 hours. I probably check to be sure that Leif's face isn't covered, etc. at least 3 times a night. Mothering is a 24/7 gig!
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that sometime around college age you'll get some sleep.
ReplyDeleteMelatonin is okay, may help? When your brain is just going and going, an herbal tincture called Rescue Remedy (under the tongue) really does work. I gave it to moms of children involved in the Amish school shooting, and the kids LOVED it. So you know it works. But yes, most of all, sleep during the day to make up for it!
