When our children are infants, we don't sleep. We know it's this way, we expect it. What we didn't know was that in order to have some alone time, read, go to the gym, study or play computer games, we have to give something else up.
We can't give up housework...or can we? No. We can't stop changing diapers or making meals. We still have to help with homework and give baths. The only thing we can give up without anyone complaining is sleep.
Sleep. I go for days, or sometimes weeks, with only 5 or 6 hours a day. Then I crash. My husband comes home from work one day and I say, "I have to go lay down. You can take care of dinner, right?" Off I go. I lie down and sleep for 12 hours straight. What an absolutely marvelous feeling!
I've tried to go to bed on time every night, but then I can't get any of MY stuff done. I start feeling antsy. The computer calls to me... Oh, who needs sleep anyway?
