Why am I still awake?

House is clean,
child is in her bed,
hubby is in bed-hell, the dog is even in bed
WTH is wrong with me?? 90% of the time I am exhausted and wishing the kid would go to bed so I can too... and yet I am up.


and I am wishing this place was more active early in the morning hours.

 

I'd be you're buddy, but I've been wondering the same thing myself, and may head to bed

 

Well you suck.

I hope you lay there for an hour and can't fall asleep like I did.

 

Hit yourself in the head with a hammer, really hard. Problem solved.

 

I've never been good at inflicting pain on myself. I have a hammer if you wanna come do it for me.

 

One divine hammer ?

 

I lost you and had to google that..


however...
..this might work

Assuming I could sleep with all that religious guilt

 

yur circadian rhythms are raeped

 

indeed.
My daughters insane nocturnal sleep cycle (and every stupid failed method of "fixing it" ) has done a serious number on my sleep.

 

you could try changing her exposure to light.


or your own

jet lag remedies for her or you?

 

You're quite mean for a hippie.

I like that, you're even more beautiful now.

But yeah, I would've never guessed you had kids or were settled down or whatnot.
You looked so young in your last sig.

 

I had been working on the light thing- turn on all the lights in the daytime, go out in the sun. Turn off lights at night.... that really sucked for me though.
Then I'd spend the whole night ungodly tired and cranky- while she was partying in the damn dark, apparently the light really works on me.
I've tried all the wake up - go to bed schedule routines and recipes I can possibly google.. and still they all make me tired, and don't seem to put a dent in her sleep.

OR she will do this even more horrendous sleep cycling where she will be up for 24 hours straight and then sleep for 12.
HOW? How is it possible to get up early spend the day walking around the city, go to the beach , and then come home be made to lay in a darkened room and STILL stay up till 5:30am?

I am thinking of starting her on a low dose of melatonin. I have heard a few other moms say it works...but she is only 4 and hubby is really against the idea of medicating her.
-sigh- no one will read that long post, I should be blogging

 

:cheers2: I just turned 26 Sunday.

 

Yeah, I was at least 7 years off. =P

 

I'm awake because I just slept for 8 hours and am now watching "Lost".

 

Happy birthday, darling! :hurray:

 

thanks

 

Quit your job already?

 

Yup.

They fucked me over just like y'all warned me.

 

Besides the child and the hubby i feel ya, and more active mornings would be nice.
