It's official. My son gets up around 6 in the morning. That seems to be his routine, and therefore, mine. sob
The problem? I am a night person. I can't seem to get myself to bed before midnight. Between my own idiocy and his all night nurse fests, I don't think I sleep more than about four, maybe four and a half hours.
I think I may be doing long term damage to my brain.
If YOU'RE doing long term damage to your brain, what have I done to my own?!
ReplyDeleteOooh. Don't answer that!
However, I am with you in Sleepless Solidarity! I now go to fetch twins.
Mmmmwah!
Sleep deprivation can manifest itself like mental illness. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19626275.500-lack-of-sleep-is-a-lot-like-mental-illness.html
ReplyDeleteYou've known this anecdotally since college, I'm sure - but now! now it's in a magazine. And magazine publishers would never print anything but the truth, right? :)
Well crap!! You mean to say my children have made me crazy... literally?
ReplyDeletemy youngest brother was born with a weird clock. he liked to go to bed at 6 pm and wake up around 4 am. he is pushin 30 now... same crazy sleep schedule. at least it's really nice in the work and school world.
ReplyDeletei don't know how my mom coped all those years... she had two other children that were night owls, she must have been surviving on five or six hours a night!
oh, wait, i remember how she coped! my parents put a lock on the outside of his door (ped suggestion) and locked him in at night until 6 am or so.
My kids are up @ 7 daily. The computer keeps me up until 1. My under eye circles are getting darker and darker.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that the new 'in' make-up look is the smudgy charcoal under the eyes look. That way I can hide my sleep shadows more effectively!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it! I need to go to bed by 10:00 or else I am useless.
