In addition to the US daylight savings time I was on a plane to the UK where I'm on holiday. I've been up for over 32 hours and while I don't have young children to attend to I'm certainly exhausted. Good luck sleeping through tonight. .-= Kelly´s last blog post ..<a href="http://myfriendkelly.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/debate-is-not-the-real-world/" rel="nofollow">Debate is Not the Real World</a> =-.

By the time I went to bed it was basically 2 am. Darn. Plus, my little one decided to wake up at 8 am, when he only went to sleep at 10:30pm. And by the way, I'm one of those who'll lay in bed until whenever if I get the chance. If I get one or two hours, yep, I'll take it. I'm not one to just stay up. Uh, not since college anyhow. .-= sarah´s last blog post ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BittersweetLotus/~3/vbT1K_7xrEI/my-world-modified.html" rel="nofollow">My World, Modified</a> =-.

Sometimes I get a good solid stretch of sleep, and still wake up exhausted, while other nights it's a little spottier, but I somehow get rested. I think that if I knew I could get 2 more solid hours of sleep, I would take them while I could. Much easier to do it than to risk feeling like your body is shutting down in the middle of the afternoon and there's no way to go lay down then. .-= Jenni @ Life from the Roof´s last blog post ..<a href="http://lifefromtheroof.wordpress.com/2010/03/11/favorite-frugal-recipes-homemade-bagels/" rel="nofollow">Favorite Frugal Recipes: Homemade Bagels</a> =-.

If I was in your situation (and have been many of times with my munchkins), I found if I get even a tiny bit of sleep it throws everything off. I try to catch up the following day with naps and an early bed time. I have to stay awake.

On nights like that I usually beg... I CRY out God for more sleep. I am amazed at how desperate I can be at those moments. It is as if nothing else matters. I should probably see that for what it is... I have had those long nights and days lately. We found out we are expecting #3 (Surprise!!!) and everything about this pregnancy is different than the others. I had a headache last night. In the back of head, going down my neck. I probably need some sort of adjustment... ...but if I could only just stop and have a coherent thought so I can figure out a chiropractor to call and how we will pay for that...which is so hard to do anyway (thinking that is!) but lately NOTHING in regard to food appeals to me. Nothing. So I force feed what I can and walk around a bit weak and very nauseated. And my mind is Fuzzy. With a capital F. Fuzzy. Not much is going on right now. I am just getting by. I need lots of grace. Lots of grace! In the middle of all of this I'm super excited. And a little perplexed about how different I feel this time around. I had no idea the time change was approaching. How do I miss things like that? Glad I saw this. With no TV and news casts to warn us...and considering my fuzzy brain and my super busy husband...we would have been a mess on Sunday morning. We probably will be anyway!!! .-= Jen Hill´s last blog post ..<a href="http://thereformedwoman.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/254/" rel="nofollow">I found a new blog…</a> =-. Rachel,

I have had my share of disastrous nights and I know it is tempting to push through but your kids will be rested and you are going to lose every battle - I would definitely grab the hours any time of the day or night!!!
