So my son will be 14 months at the end of the month. He's getting 5 teeth in including 3 molars and we co sleep. We have some good nights where he doesn't really wake up to nurse more than once but those are RARE. So I've been feeling really weird the last month or 2. It's almost a surreal thing where I feel drunk, my memory isn't that great, can't think straight sometimes, can't focus, easily stressed/anxious, don't have a lot of patience. It feels really similar to when I was sleep deprived the first few weeks post partum but just on a different scale.

It didn't really occur to me that it could be sleep deprivation until I realized I don't think I am getting as much sleep as I think I am. I started staying up later to relax after my son goes to sleep and he started waking up earlier...which equals less sleep for me and I didn't even realize what was happening until now. Has anyone else had similar experiences with co sleeping? Please ease my mind because sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy! It usually hits me in the afternoon but it hit me around 7pm and I felt like I had a glass of wine or took some meds! argh. I should be sleeping! haha.
