Lack of sleep, strange what goes through your mind

[MaveriK]

Nipper is not going through a very good sleep pattern at the moment and thus neither am I.

 

Was sat this morning watching "Big School" and they were picking numbers off the floor after the teacher shouts out that number. 3 and 8 were the last two numbers and i started to ponder why 4 was half of 8 and not 3.

 

I need a holiday!

You need something by the sounds of it lol.

[MaveriK]

Its the shape of the 3 though, so half 8 like.

I had a wonderful nights sleep last night. I went to bed at 11 and was then woken up by Mrs H around 1/2 an hour later.....

 

I finally got to sleep to be woken by Joel (1) 20 mins later, crying and needed his dummy putting back in. At 3pm I was awoken by my other son Ellis (5) crying in his bedroom. I got out of bed and walked into his room, his excuse for being hysterical was that he needed to blow his nose.......

 

I was then woken up by Joel at 4.30 as he was crying and the only way to calm him was to put him in bed with us. He then spent the next hour wriggling and digging his toe nails into my thighs. I eventually put him back in his cot. At 6.30 he woke up, we put him in bed with us again hoping for another 1/2 hour of sleep. No such luck as Joel spent the remaining time in bed falling over being tired, crying and making a dash for the edge of the bed.

 

Whoever says that having kids is great was a fooking liar......

 

I am now waiting to leave the house and visit customers when all I want to do is go to sleep. Sleep deprivation really does affect you as lately my memory has been terrible......

At first read I thought you were asleep within 20 min.... was going to congratulate you for lasting so long...

Bit unfair isn't it... less than 20 minutes of fun for 20 years for having to look after the consequences

Do you see things moving in the shadows, or is that just me.

I sleep at weekends now, but still have problems during the week.

There is a small conciliation H. That doesn't last forever. Once my kids were about 5-6 they slept through the night and then took them self's off to watch telly in the morning, then you can sleep some more

I know how you feel as our first born is 4 weeks old today. Being back at work and not sleeping is strange.

She more than makes up for it though when she is not crying.

I used think that, until both my kids 6 +7 get up in the morning, take themselves to watch tele, argue about which channell, argue about who's sitting on which seat, argue about who's leaving out the dog, you seeing a pattern here?

 

its best to just forget the sleep in and just get up

 

Early to bed is the only thing, i mean like who wants a social life anyways? its so overated.

Yup. I see cats and weird shapes in the shadows - first sign of sleep deprivation for me. After a prolonged period of sleep interruption I start hearing familiar voices as I try and drop off to sleep - sounding like mother shouting up to me for dinner or something, with further deprivation comes the loud bangs that nobody else hears - at that point I reach for the phone and call the doc . I had bad sleep problems last year which required some minor intervention from the doc who put me on Amitriptyline which worked a charm! Managed to reset my sleep pattern after a short course... back to broken sleep again at the moment sadly, but no cats in the shadows yet... except the real one!
