But I have learned to make myself go to sleep earlier, to turn off the tv and to sleep in when I can, instead of jumping up at a run as soon as I hear the birds chirping on Saturdays.<br />I used to wear my lack of sleep like a badge of honr, because I can get by on 4-5 hours. I thought it meant I was a dynamo, burning more calories, etc. No. I have learned that the more sleep our body has, the better it operates and the more efficient.<br />If I wake up in the middle of the night and weigh myself, I always weigh less at 6 or 7 or 8am when I get up for real.

And you're right when you say that a tired mommy has the temperament of an ax murderer.Naomi Rawlingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431203734855694561noreply@blogger.com
