Less than 5 hours sleep every single night is just a tad ridiculous. Can't function day or night! Too switched on to sleep, too tired to do anything about the thoughts flying around.
I've tried medication, eliminated caffeine, reduced meal sizes, reading or listening to music before bed, exercising before bedtime, warm milk, everything my exhausted brain can think of and NOTHING is working.
I'm again thinking about everything I have to do all at once, rather than trying to get through one step at a time.
I had a really bad "Mum Moment" today but thankfully it only took a tiny while to get through it. It's not even upsetting thoughts that are keeping me awake. Maybe I'm getting a bit too excited too early that it's nearly Christmas?!
The kids are still up and I wish with all my might that I could sit and relax in peace but nope, they are loving life and loving a little adventure in staying up late.
Thankfully tomorrow is a day off and I can catch up on what my brain has been too fried to accomplish this week. I can't believe I actually called a doctor "dude" today. Shows how out of whack I am!
I thought the exhaustion would come a lot sooner into my mum-of-two journey so I'm appreciative that I got a bit more time before my body decided to fight against rest.
Life could be so much worse, I know. But it's pretty damn near impossible to function in this state!
Fingers crossed that tonight is my lucky night. Yes, I'm talking about sleep.
