You will find that that is the best time to get anything done for the adult population when you have kids.CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734405080911039533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174231595640473111.post-48230884668403043272010-02-10T16:58:53.693-07:002010-02-10T16:58:53.693-07:00I once read Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, by ...I once read Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, by Someoneorother Weissbluth, and he said that small children have a window of opportunity for the best bedtime. If you let them stay up too late, they get an adrenaline rush that makes it physically impossible to go to sleep. I don't know if it works for adults, but he suggests putting the child to bed an hour earlier the next night. Good sleep begets more good sleep. Maybe a nap the day before?<br /><br />Also, I am always extremely tired when pregnant and fall asleep early and easily (until the bump is too big). So that's a thought.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809081257616119677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174231595640473111.post-56424657372971727302010-02-09T16:22:32.949-07:002010-02-09T16:22:32.949-07:00Adriana, thank you for the helpful tips.

I blame the lack of sleep and menstrual cramps. I've been reduced to a quaking mass of impropriety.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07726753843952520994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174231595640473111.post-60232106451617813272010-02-09T15:21:30.234-07:002010-02-09T15:21:30.234-07:00i would admonish you to get some sleep, but i am t...i would admonish you to get some sleep, but i am too acquainted with impossibility of said directive. instead: good luck. i understand your pain.<br /><br />(masturbation is far simpler and quicker than roasting a turkey.)Zillahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912159028273635271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174231595640473111.post-69436003708216574102010-02-09T08:43:44.801-07:002010-02-09T08:43:44.801-07:00Im assuming you've tried the natural sleep aid...Im assuming you've tried the natural sleep aids... turkey, chamomile, and masturbation. recommended in that order. ;) good luck.Adrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436670824377969454noreply@blogger.com
