Re: Im not a happy camper these days...
No worries AE!! lol!! Heres the "thing" with me...
When I was working, before I had babies...my work was "off-shift". I worked from 4 am till 12 noon. When I wasnt working, I was on call and had to respond to pager within 5 minutes. And since I was supporting a trading floor, the calls were incessant. Sleep was a luxury.
Then....babies. Feedings every 2 to 4 hours with diaper changes in-between.
I had messed up sleep patterns for a decade lol. So personally I think my biological clock is totally outta whack. Even though I already go to sleep early - by 9 pm - that just means I wake up earlier - say by 1 am. Go back to sleep by 3 or 4, wake up again by 7. Anyway, I think that if I went on sleep meds for 2 weeks or so then my biological clock would learn how to get good sleep again. BUT docs (in US anyway) will not do this for me. And I would not feel comfortable medicating myself for 2 weeks every night with benadryl. I dont want to have the reputation of being a "drug seeker" which is what would happen if I outright asked for this. So I wont...I'll just continue the way I've been and deal with it yeah?
