Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Riddle me this: why am I so flippin' tired?

We got DD down to waking up just one time and she gives a 5 hour stretch before and a 6 hour stretch after.

I am more tired now than when she was waking up 3 times a night.

Re: Riddle me this: why am I so flippin' tired?

  • For me, it has a lot to do with the lack of sun, but I don't know where you live!

    When it's dark all day, I just want to sleep. :)

  • Are you breastfeeding?  Once she started sleeping better at night and I should have been decent, I suddenly felt exhausted and ended up getting mastitis.  I hope this is not the case for you, but just be on the lookout if you are bf.

    I also find that now when I am expecting to get more sleep, if she wakes up an extra time it hits me hard.  It is like you didn't expect to sleep anyway at first so it didn't bother you as much.

  • All I want to do is sleep.  DD slept through the night for 1 week+ now, but I am exhausted, all day, every day.

    (I am dealing with PPD, though...I really hope you are not!)

  • It's weird...I always feel more groggy when I get more sleep (like 8 hrs) than I do when I'm sleep deprived and just plain tired

    Also, if you're working, that just takes a lot out of you too.  I'm EXHAUSTED all the time and she only gets up once.  But it's between 12 and 2, and I go to bed at 11 and get up at 5, so I'm often running on 3 hours of sleep.  Like today.  It blows.

    This is pretty much my schedule except I wake up at 6.
