Comments on: Why I’m Obsessed With Sleep http://kathleenbasi.com/2011/05/17/why-im-obsessed-with-sleep/ Life at the intersection of faith, parenting and the written word Fri, 24 May 2013 16:14:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Tara http://kathleenbasi.com/2011/05/17/why-im-obsessed-with-sleep/#comment-5956 Sun, 22 May 2011 01:27:31 +0000 http://kathleenbasi.com/?p=6059#comment-5956 LOL at all of your precious photos….my husband could fall asleep in his soup…not joking.

Me? I am like you. Except it’s not post-partum. Sigh. I do this in phases…going through one now. It stinks and like you, I sleep better on the couch and that’s where I will head.

Melatonin also gets me through some tight spots. I don’t take it regularly. When needed and only when it’s quite obvious I am on a cycle that desperately needs to be broken…the more tired I get from sleep deprivation, the more likely I am to NOT sleep. UGH.

Congrats again on being pregnant…I remember the ‘tired and puky’ phase all to well. I always kept my eyes on the goal…either the pink goal or the blue goal with tiny toes to kiss. ROTF

And, YES, I hear you on the sleep thing. I seriously had no clue how important sleep was until I became pregnant, and then had the baby(ies), and experienced “the dark side.” It’s awful.

Those pics of your boy falling asleep anywhere & everywhere are priceless!

Those pictures crack me up; kids fall asleep in the oddest places, don’t they?!

Ex-ACTLY. :)

Then you’d at least get the time away from your children to rest. ;-)

In all seriousness, this stinks and I am sorry. Life is simply so much easier with sleep, and harder without it.

Also, I love the pictures. Thank goodness your kids are so cute, right? :-)

You need to think about having a sleep study done. There could be something physiological wrong that is being masked by the rest of the logical reasons you are throwing out.
