To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I haven’t been able to sleep lately and it’s killing me. \u00a0I used to be the champion sleeper. \u00a0Just ask my mom. \u00a0I remember in high school to wake me up, my parents would have to come in the room, turn on the lights, and then remove my comforter from my bed to get me up. \u00a0Even when I was on my own, my natural wake up time was around 11am. \u00a0If there is one thing I can do, it’s sleep! \u00a0<\/p>\n
Until now.<\/p>\n
Oh, I still fall asleep, no problem. \u00a0I hop into bed with lights out and snooze away by 11pm faithfully. \u00a0But then? \u00a0Then I wake up. \u00a0Not mind racing and worried. \u00a0Not wide awake adn unable to fall back asleep. \u00a0I wake up tired and exhausted. \u00a0Blink in confusion as to why, exactly, I am awake, and then fall back asleep. \u00a0Only to wake up again, blink, fall asleep. \u00a0And repeat. \u00a0And repeat. \u00a0And repeat. \u00a0All night long. \u00a0It’s been four nights of this and I’m beginning to lose my mind. \u00a0I really need my sleep people! \u00a0These little hour and a half cat naps are killing me. \u00a0 Instead of waking up all happy and refreshed, I’m more tired than ever. \u00a0It actually feels like those horrible\/wonderful days when I was getting up all night with a tiny baby. \u00a0Only minus the tiny baby.<\/p>\n
Ugh. \u00a0 I don’t know what I did to break my sleep cycle but I’m regretting it. \u00a0So are the kids. \u00a0When I start to lose it, they just look at each other, nod solemnly and intone, “we broke Mom again” and then they quietly slip away to play somewhere else while I clean up the latest disaster. \u00a0However, I am an optimist at heart and I keep telling myself this is merely a phase. \u00a0This too shall pass. \u00a0And when it does, I will never take a full nights sleep for granted ever again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
