It's fair to assume that there's quite a few tired moms and dads on theses forums. Let's commiserate!
On a scale of 1 to 10, how tired are you at this very moment? To do away with the ambiguity of choosing in between numbers, please choose the definition that best describes how you're feeling today. If you're counting down the minutes until work is over (AND) also dreaming about vacation, then please choose the higher number

I'm an 8 or a 9... dd is going through the 4 month sleep regression and my almost 2 year old's naps suck. Dh will be home early today so I can sleep before heading into work. All I think about is going on vacation!

Mondays and Tuesdays are rough, out early and late, so by Wednesday I'm just trying to make it to the weekend.

This particular morning is better than most because it's the first time I've slept all night in weeks. I'm 30 weeks pregnant, have terrible acid reflux and a toddler who wakes to pee most nights.

I'm a 9 right now. I haven't gotten more than 5 hours of (broken) sleep a night for the past 3 nights. I'm 32 weeks pregnant, it takes forever to fall asleep, and when I finally do I sleep maybe an hour before I wake up from back or hip pain. I hoist myself over, and as soon as I settle back down I realize I have to pee. Repeat at least 2 more times. Then my 3 year old wakes up super early and comes in asking to have his diaper changed, and by then it doesn't matter how early it is I can't fall back asleep (5:15 yesterday, 5:30 this morning--for reference, my alarm is set for 6:15).
A vacation would be great, but I'm mostly looking forward to not being pregnant anymore. I know my quantity of sleep might not change (fingers crossed for an awesome sleeper this time), but at least the quality of what I get will improve...

I'm a 10. 34 weeks pregnant, horrible pubic bone and hip pain that keeps me up at night (plus peeing every hour). Nature is cruel.

I'm a 3! Now that my DD is finally legitimately sleeping through the night and not waking up at 5 or 5:30 every morning, I am feeling rested and energized!

4 here. DD slept through the night last night from 8 pm to 530 am so I'm feeling pretty normal.

6. Went to a hockey game last night and was out later than I thought I would be. At work now with a venti dark roast daydreaming about the weekend..

LO is almost 7 months. Still waking once per night. My husband has been traveling a lot for work. Ive been fantasizing about taking a job which lets me travel for the sole reason of staying in a hotel and sleeping 8 hours straight. (I have no intention of actually doing this. Sleeping vicariously through him I guess)

DD is 2.5 and STTN and I'm off work this week so didn't have to wake up at 4:45am to go to the gym... so..... higher than I want to admit.

I'm at 3 right now. LO 3 slept 8 hours last night. She still has 1-2 wake ups every few days!

I'm at about a 6 I'd say? Still feel like I'm waking up even though I've already done drop off, gotten in to work and am on my 2nd cup of coffee 
I actually got a really good night's rest last night (lo must be going through a growth spurt!) but today is my teaching day and I have lots to do

I don't have many complaints. Both kids sleep through the night. In bed by 8 and usually awake between 6:30 - 7:00. LO1 goes to school, and I have one on one time with LO2 in the mornings. The days are still long and tiring, but I survive. I should be less of a night owl. Extra sleep might make me less tired throughout the day.

I voted 7 for right now...LO2 is sick and was up a couple times last night, but DH took her this morning and let me go back to sleep until 7:30, which helped. Ask me again around 3 pm, though...I'm usually at a 9 by then!

I'm at a 5. DD has been sleeping well lately, so I get a good chunk of sleep at night, but I pretty much always could use a nap! Or another cup of coffee.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
If I went to sleep earlier, I wouldn't be as tired! DD STTN now (well, till 6:30 anyway), but the Mets game went on and on last night, we finally gave up and went to bed!

I have crazy pregnancy insomnia and if DS wakes up in the MOTN, I'm up, up. arg!!!

I chose 9. I'm at the end of my first tri but my fatigue just isn't letting up! My dream is to sleep all day, every day.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
I chose 8. I dream about sleeping, but frankly am just so used to being tired. My 10.5 month old has slept through the night approximately 5 times ever and is up for the day by 6:30. My 3.5 year old doesn't nap. I'm working 3 days a week and we are in the process of buying a home....all of that is on me!

I haven't STTN since a handful of times my first trimester pregnant and 1-2x in the second/third trimesters. I now have a three week old and a three year old who doesn't nap. But I also have dh home. I voted 6 for now but I fully anticipate getting more tired before things get better!

I was a 9 when I wrote this poll - school is kicking my butt! However, I feel a lot better now (it's past dinner), but I really need to break the cycle and just sleep!

Trying not to nap on my notes while sitting in the library. Might take a nap anyway...
pineapple / 12053 posts

I'm at a 9. Dd3 went to bed at 1, slept til 345, was awake until 615, and then the big girls got up for the day at 730. Ouch.

I feel like 5 and 6 should be switched... haha.
I'm usually a 6, but today I'm a 9. Husband and 3 year-old have the stomach flu and 18 month old has double ear infections. WOOOOOOOOOO.

I'm at a 9 today. I haven't had more than 4 hours of sleep at one time since July. DD sleeps great but DS does not. You know when you're too tired to fall asleep? That's me, every night and for every child wakeup. Then DS wakes at 12/1, then for the day at 5:45/6. And he won't nap anywhere but the car. SAH with a 3 and 1.5 year old plus part time school with no sleep really takes a toll.
pear / 1703 posts
Easily a 9. At 13 wks pg, a 6 year old, a full-time job and a household to run I'm freakin exhausted! I love my bed and can't wait to crawl in but thats at least 7 hours away...
pineapple / 12234 posts
I'm an 8 today. DD2 was up so much last night
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
I think I'm getting a cold. I'm pretty wiped. I'm taking cold meds tonight and hoping to sleep it off.
nectarine / 2521 posts
A solid 9. My LO has screamed the past 3 nights unless he is sleeping on top of me. He's almost 2...and I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it ugh. And then he napped all of 30 minutes today. Coffee is my friend.
nectarine / 2951 posts
I have a cold, so I'm up coughing. I'm 5 weeks pregnant , so I want to avoid any cold meds, and I have a teething toddler. Oh and no coffee either! Can't wait to sleep!!!!
