I've started a few threads on baby sleep (as DD, 9 1/2 months, usually only gives us 3-hour stretches), but I have a question about Mommy sleep this time.
In the last 2 or so months, I find myself--thankfully--getting a little more sleep. Sometimes it's 2 X 3-hour stretches, and once in a while it's a blessed 5-hour bliss. Last night I got 2 hours, then 4 hours, then another 2 in broken patches. That's at least 8 hours in a night! I know it's not the same as a solid 8 hours, but it's WAY better than before.
So... why am I still go freakin' tired? All the time? My eyes burn permanently, and I just feel zonked. I'd have expected to at least feel a little more energetic now and again, especially after nights where DD is down for the count for a big chunk.
(At least I don't have that walking-dream feeling anymore. I used to have to really concentrate to cross the street... yes, the light is green, no cars coming, light's still green...)
I just never feel rested.
What's up with that?
