This is a every day thing. I get tired but I just can't sleep. All I do is think about stuff I could be doing like laundry,vacuming,etc. I takes me forever to fall asleep and in the morring I'm so tired in the morring and I just want to go back to go to bed. with 3 kids I can't they need this and that. So I crawl out of my warm bed and slowly walk to the kitchen and then get a drink to wake up. It all starts over again. I'm so tired right now but I know that if I go lay down I will not fall asleep forever. Why cant I just get so really good sleep. Im i the only one that is like this. I doubt it I beat there are millions out there just like me. Well I hope you all a good night.

When our 3 kids were young, I couldn't get enough sleep. I had the same thoughts you do about what I could be doing in the house instead of resting or sleeping. I was geared up most of the time. I found that cutting my caffeine intake did help and also not drinking anything in the evening with caffeine. I use to drink tea with my dinner and finally stopped that and drank decaffeinated drinks such as white soda or water. It did help. It could be you sleep real sound at night also which is why you wake up tired in the morning. If you can hang in there for about another 20 years, it will get easier..lol Have a great day, carolbee

Hey, carol Thanks for the comment. I think I will try that. I also love drinking tea. So maybe I can drink water at drink instead of ice tea.
