Tired

I was hoping that I'd be able to sleep well last night, but that wasn't the case. I went to bed at 8, as I was exhausted, and it didn't take me long to fall asleep. But then I woke at 11 and had to go to the bathroom. Then I woke up a little after 4. I stayed in bed, but couldn't go back asleep. And of course my eldest was awake at 5. I asked her to go lay down a bit. By 5:15 I came down. By 5:45 all three of my kids were awake. So, not exactly the best. So, needless to say I am tired now. And it's only lunch time at the moment. I think it'll be an early bedtime for all of us tonight.

I have found that it is better to push yourself and stay up a bit later rather than go to bed earlier. When I go to bed early I sleep soundly for about 4 hours then wake feeling refreshed and ready to roll. Not a good thing when you have a full day ahead of you and you have only had 4 hours of good rest. I hope that you get a good night of rest tonight lady.

@dodo19 that happens to me quite often. I push myself to stay up until at least 9-9:30. Then I mosey down to the bedroom, totally exhausted. I groan when I find a load of laundry on the bed needing to be folded.

@ElusiveButterfly Yeah, I'm not too happy when that happens either. But sometimes you just have to move it.

That's a good way of doing. I wish I could sometimes stay up a bit later. Sometimes, I can manage to stay up until 9 or a little after, but last night I just couldn't keep my eyes open.

For some reason, this entire week I have been super tired. I've just had no energy whatsoever. I've been going to bed super early, and still super tired the next morning when I wake up. I just feel so sluggish. I hope I can get my energy levels back up soon! I also hope that you are able to get a good night's sleep! It's hard to function when you are facing a lack of sleep.

It really is hard when you don't sleep well. I'm sorry to hear that you've been pretty tired this week. Hopefully, you get to rest this weekend.

@dodo19 Unfortunately, I don't know what "rest" means on the weekends! My Saturdays and Sundays often end up being busier than my weekdays! I guess that's the price to pay for living the good life! hahaha

I certainly hope so. My kids definitely do need good night sleep, and I would like to sleep a little better than I did.

@dodo19 Have you considered the melantonin vitamin? I believe it's supposed to help when you are feeling restless.

@ScribbledAdNauseum No, I hadn't considered it. I've never thought of it. I'll remember that. I'll look into it for sure.

@dodo19 I can see why you were tired. I at times put my on my white noise machine and it is very good so I do not want to miss my alarm that I put by me so wake up every so often to check if time to get up. I then do not sleep good.

I do like putting on white noise or calming music when I sleep. It helps out a lot. Thankfully I slept a little better last night.

@Hannihar It can be really helpful. I will usually just put some on my phone and put it on the bedside table next to me or something.

@dodo19 That is good. I have several white noise machines I put on to help me sleep. I will be putting it on the computer too and that helps

It's hard to keep little kids in bed sometimes. How is your new job working out?

It is hard to keep them in bed some mornings. Sometimes I just don’t fight it. My new job is going well. Thanks for asking. I am enjoying it so far.

The best thing to do is make up for that lack of sleep tonight.

I rarely get more than 5 or 5 and half hours sleep these days so I can completely sympathize with you. I do try to stay awake a little later or I am up before dawn.

It sounds like you had a rough night and a really early start to the day, when you could have used some more sleep. I hope that you've caught up on that lost sleep by now.

I woke up a couple hours after going to sleep last night, too, but instead of going back to bed after peeing, I made a cup of tea and came online. I ended up watching about two hours' worth of Whose Line Is It Anyway before finally forcing myself to get some more sleep.
