You know you are sleep deprived when...

For those of us with LOs doing exactly the opposite of SSTN, what are your sleep-deprivation signs?  Here's mine-

 

Whenever I wake up during the night I am confused as to whether I am I'm bed or on the recliner in LOs room.

 

DH and I have been watching The Help for 3 nights and still haven't finished it because my bedtime is about 8:30 and we always start it too late.

 

Ive gotten to work earlier than ever before because LO wakes up to eat at 4am, and by the time I get him back to sleep I might as well take a shower and go.

    My husband's parents watched our son so we could spend the day together. We made it to lunch and then I went home for a 3 hour nap! I would rather sleep than do anything else.

    Oh yes, all of this.  Except replace The Help with any one hour show on our DVR.  We've been watching last week's NCIS for a week now.

    And I EP, so I'll add that when I wake up in the middle of the night I can't remember if I already pumped or not, and have to look at my phone to check.

    Also, I was trying to do simple addition at work yesterday and literally had to get out my calculator to add, because I kept getting different answers.  Oh, and the total was 20.  So it's not like I was adding huge sums or anything.

    And finally, you know you are sleep deprived when a 3 hour stretch is "a good night's sleep".

    If we don't laugh, we'll cry, am I right??

    I forget mid-sentence what I was talking about

    Last night I put the bread in the fridge and the milk on the counter

    I speak to my husband in German or Croatian, both languages he does not speak

    I often forget which side I fed from last.  But I can sure tell an hour after the last feeding.

    I also mix up my sentences.  I was trying to rant to DH how it's easier to buy cute clothes for a girl, and I ended up saying, "I hate how it's easier to buy cute clothes for a boy than a girl."  Luckily he knew what I meant

    And every time I'm driving somewhere with just me and DS, I second guess whether or not I remembered the baby.  Luckily I haven't ever forgot him, but I always have to reach my hand back to touch him to reassure myself that he's there.

    Last Friday LO woke up at 6:00 so I was feeding her when DH walks in fully dressed. I asked why he wasn't sleeping and he said "I have to watch her so you can get ready." Then I realized what day it was. I thought it was Saturday for a good hour. I almost cried!

    I've got another to add.  Today I was feeding and hand expressing from the other breast.  When I was done expressing, I ended up putting both nursing pads on the same breast.  Then when he was done feeding, I couldn't find the other pad until DH jokingly suggested I check my bra. >.<;

    Today I had to call about bill, and I couldn't remember the word account. There was a good long pause before I remembered. I'm sure the lady heard the squawking baby in the background, so I hope she had sympathy.  She also asked for the last four of my ss# and I couldn't remember for a while and when I said it, my inflection was that of a question.

    I often feel lost for a word while I am talking. I will stop, think and still can't remember what I was trying to say. Not so great since I am a teacher.

    I also really messed up the same lesson a couple times this week. I accidently posted the excel sheet with a set of answers. I also realized there was a variable missing on another sheet today. Oops. I am sure the students must question me right now.

     I have also started pumping and then realized that I didn't put on the bottles. Nothing like a lap full of warm milk. I have done this twice. Once at work. Nothing like wearing wet sticky pants for a couple of hours. I called my husband crying and rambling how I want my brain back.

    I can't wait to sleep again. I miss it so much.
