Please or Register to create posts and topics.

seriously, i feel like im running on fumes. its 1030pm and the kids finally asleep, husband is still working late. i just want to sit for like 5 minutes but im so tired i cant even think. i went to target today for diapers and came back with coffee and cookies, probably not helping. its like i just get into bed and then im up again. i feel like im going to fall asleep at the grocery store checkout. does anyone have any tips for actually getting good sleep when youre this exhausted.

@silvercomparison Oh girl I feel this. 10:30 pm is practically midnight over here. I usually just bribe myself with a cup of herbal tea and promise myself an early night if I can just get through one more load of laundry.

Ugh, @silvercomparison, been there. My youngest is a night owl too. I've found a warm shower before bed helps me unwind a bit, even if it's just for a few minutes.

Totally relate, @silvercomparison. My husband works late a lot too. I try to at least put my phone down an hour before bed, it helps me actually fall asleep faster.

Seriously, @silvercomparison. That feeling of being wiped out but wired is the worst. I've been trying to make sure I at least drink enough water during the day, weirdly that seems to help my energy.

@silvercomparison Oh honey, that 10:30 pm feeling is SO real. I’m right there with you. The herbal tea bribe works sometimes, but lately I’ve been burning the candle at both ends too.

A warm shower sounds so nice, @silvercomparison! My kids are finally quiet but then I just get this second wind. I might try the shower thing tonight though.

I’m terrible at putting my phone down, @silvercomparison. But you’re right, it probably makes a difference. Maybe I’ll try setting a timer for it.
