Top Ten Reasons Why I Realize I Need More Sleep
-
I woke up tired. I woke this morning and felt like I hadn’t slept a wink all night. Thanks Joley!
-
I put the cookies in the fridge. Yep. I bought plain ol’ cookies and instead of putting them in the cupboard, I set them in the fridge and didn’t think twice about it.
-
I can’t remember things from one minute to the next. What am I supposed to be doing? What was I talking about again? Oh yeah… why I need sleep.
-
I remember to do things as I lay down in bed at the end of the day. That seems to be the only time my mind shuts off long enough to let the important (or not-so-important) things through.
-
I have no recollection of what day it is. I often think it is Wednesday when it is Tuesday. I normally don’t give myself extra days… more of thinking the week is going faster than it is.
-
My body is starting to function on less and less sleep. I can sleep for 4 hours or 2 hours and still be able to get up and take care of Johnny and Joley. Is that good? Probably not.
-
I often nurse Joley at night and don’t remember. I will wake up half-dressed and then realize that she has eaten at some point. Thank God I wake when she does or this might be painful! (she isn’t so gentle when she latches on all the time)
-
What was I saying again? Oh, reasons I realize I need sleep. I am desperate for a nap everyday. I would take one every.single.day if I could. Someone tell Johnny he needs to nap. Okay?
-
I forget to pay bills. This is a big one. I have started writing things on my calendar to make sure I don’t forget.
-
When I get to sleep in until 8am I am ecstatic! Sad. I used to be able to sleep so much longer. Joley wakes often at night still though, so 8am is like a dream!

I love to nap. Not that I get to nap. But I love it. Lol.
Mandi says
OH I'm so sorry!! Hoping you can get some much needed rest soon!!
Blondie says
I have done the same thing with cookies/pasta/whatever in the fridge. It's really bad when you put the milk in the pantry and don't realize it for a while (done that one, too)!
oh amanda says
I. hear. you.
I'd be halfway thru feeding Asa and realize I was awake. I'd be like, "How'd I get in here?!" 🙂
Both kids are napping now, I might need to take advantage…
