Generation Terrorists Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I get random bouts of insomnia so be thankful you get any sleep whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxie Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I understand how you feel Butterfly as am doing night feeds myself at the moment - baby is 11 weeks old, how old is your little one? I must admit I don't have any problem getting back to sleep as am so tired I just fall asleep again because I know my 2 year old is going to wake me up at 6am for the day anyway *yawns* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_kitty Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 If you wake up and feel wide a wake dont force yourself to go back to sleep, do something like read a book or magazine until you feel tired. I find that a mug of horlicks does the trick too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
