Tolerating And Surviving Sleep Deprivation While Raising Kids

by
I am trying to find out what mothers can actually do about sleep deprivation.
Sometimes, I ask myself, when last did I hit the bed and just lie there sleeping till morning? because like I said in my post on “kids leaving adults bedroom for good” I realised that often times, it is not the kids who come disturbing my sleep. I still have this habit of checking on them, trying to see that they are still properly covered,  sometimes adjusting their heads on the pillows and other  times raising one or both legs from the floor, or dangling positions and placing them back on their beds. 

What really keeps me very happy with all the sleep deprivation is the fact that I keep reminding myself that this is the only opportunity that I have to do all these for them. In a “a few” years they are all gone.   


When kids leave for college, they are gone. After college is not the time to “loose sleep” over a child.
All the long years of sleep deprivation will surely be regained, Yes. A time comes in every mother’s life when you will get bored with always having to sleep with no child to attend to. 


For any lady who plans to have kids, I think that sleep deprivation is something to expect, so get  yourself ready for it. However try to feel good about it because, a time comes when kids won’t be the cause of sleep deprivation, cos they would be gone. seriously!


Any word for young mothers going through this sleep deprivation thing?
