I have got to get some sleep. I’ve been working for weeks with not enough sleep. I go to bed too late and get up before I am ready. My problem is that I want to enjoy the “me” time I get after Bridget goes to bed. I want to do what I want to do. I want to catch up on TV shows. I want to read. I don’t want to waste my “me” time sleeping.
I don’t know why I am doing this to myself. I know that I require more sleep than most people. For me, eight hours is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. I can deal for a day or two with six or seven hours of sleep but not long-term, which is what I have been doing. On some nights, I’ve gotten even less than that. It’s really starting to take its toll on me. I’m so tired, it makes me want to cry.
I would say that tonight I’m going to aim to get to bed early but I committed to working tonight kind of late. I’m going to move my shift back a bit and be ready for bed when I start so that when it’s over, I can hop right into bed and hopefully get to sleep. And in the future I’m going to try to adhere to an 11 p.m. bedtime.
Because I have to say, if I don’t get some damn sleep soon, someone is going to get hurt.

I am an eight hour person too. Those last months of pregnancy and first months with Lance were killer. I am surprised that I can do better than I use to with less sleep, but I get sick when I don’t get enough sleep.
I am an 8-hour person, too. Well, that’s minimum b/c I really function fully on 10 hours sleep but that is so not going to happen in this decade now, is it? I feel your sleepy pain, I do. Every morning when Peanut wakes up (before 7 as she is still on the old time), I seriously wonder how I can drag my weary self out of bed, yet somehow I do. Mothers rock!
Thanks for staying up late last night entertaining us, bitches!
