Will we ever not be tired again?! – Mummascribbles

Something the other half and I ask ourselves on a regular basis is will we ever not be tired again? I was sitting at my desk the other day and I was really struggling to stay awake and yet I’d had a fairly decent sleep. We got a couple of really decent sleeps in at the weekend compared to normal and yet we still didn’t feel refreshed. The other night, I had to go back upstairs to settle Zach so he’d go to sleep and when I went back downstairs, the other half had fallen asleep on the sofa. It was 8.40pm!

Anything after 10.30pm is considered as a late night now. Beyond 11pm is a) rare and b) exhausting.

Most nights we are in bed before 10.30, most nights Zach sleeps through, and yet when that alarm goes off at 5.45am I feel shattered, despite having had 7 hours sleep.

The night before last I stayed in a London hotel as I had a very early start for an event. We took the board and ourselves out to a late dinner and I was horrified when everyone stood up to leave and I realised it was midnight! Not only that but I knew my alarm would be going off at 5.30! The worst part was despite being knackered, I woke up at 3am!

Last night Zach woke up at 1am and then it must have been about 3am that he requested to go back in his cot. Then the alarm went off at 5.50.

This morning I am exhausted. I just saw this picture appear on Facebook and I can definitely say that I am currently at the knock out stage. And somehow, I don’t know how but somehow, I need to stay awake at my desk again today!

Is anyone else absolutely blimmin exhausted – you must be, it can’t just be us!!
