Most nights I am able to deal with the myriad of sleep-interruptions fairly well. I just seem to be one of those lucky people who has a higher tolerance for sleep deprivation. Always did a pretty good job surviving those infancy days of nursing every 2 hours, etc. Not that is doesn't have its effects on me, especially mentally. But overall, I'm pretty blessed to be able to deal with it in stride. (Thankfully...with a kid like Gray!)
But every once in a while, I have a night where my whole being just seems to rebel. Last night was one of those nights. Every interruption to my sleep was simply painful. Both physically and mentally. It literally hurt. When Baker got me up to let him out. When Gray got me up to take him to the bathroom. When Gray got me up because he was having leg pains. When Gray got me up because he couldn't get himself tucked back in correctly. When Gray got me up because his hand fell asleep. It hurt.
I know that sounds weird. But it's true.
And today I feel like I'm coming out of anesthesia (minus the nausea). Just that feeling of grogginess. My head just won't clear.
Probably shouldn't even be posting today...I probably sound insane, and don't even realize it!

i know exactly what you mean. i actually require very little sleep -- i wake up after 6 hours, no matter what, unless i am not feeling well. occasionally i stand a shot at going back to sleep, but only if i am very relaxed or extremely overtired. that being said, every so often my sleep gets so out of whack that every little thing wakes me up & feels like a major disturbance. i hope you get caught & readjusted quickly. nothing is worse than a sleep cyle that is viciously out of control.
I don't do well with my sleep interrupted. It puts me in a not so happy mood. I still like a good nine to ten hours of sleep! I hope this weekend was more restful for you.
take care,
Dawn
