H woke up twice last night - at half past midnight and half past one, demanding to come into bed with me and Shaun. The second time she was taken back to bed kicking and screaming, not ideal for that time of night...
We both feel a bit zonked out today. Even two coffees (and strong ones) hasn't fixed that. H is more grumpy than usual today, I wish we could have all just stayed in bed until we felt 'normal'...
Fortunately imagination play is the agenda this morning, two cushions make a fabulous boat and we've already had trips to the supermarket, the beach, and we picked up Santa along the way. You can have all the money in the world, but you can't buy imagination!
Not sleeping enough and not sleeping well is not OK. As a matter of fact, there is quite a price to pay. It may surprise you to learn that chronic sleep deprivation, for whatever reason, significantly affects your health, performance, safety, and pocketbook. Sleep deprivation can lead to various symptoms such as Decreased Performance and Alertness, Memory and Cognitive Impairment, stress relationship, Poor Quality of Life, Occupational Injury, Automobile Injury, etc
