Have any of you found that after having a baby you can longer nap? I'll sometimes find a good hour or two block where I'd love to lie down and sleep. I can lay down, but my mind won't shut off and actually sleep. It drives me crazy! Anyone else?

I am the same way. Once the baby goes down I suddenly find a million things I want to get done or just have some alone veg out time.
Someone recommended setting a timer once baby goes to sleep and letting yourself do chores/whatever for 10 minutes but once the timer goes off you have to lay down and close your eyes.

Everyone says to sleep when the baby is sleeping.... but I'm such a heavy sleeping I'm too scared! She could be screaming her lungs out and I won't wake up. But sometimes just lying down is nice too.

I was never really a napper before having my baby. I still don't nap much, but when I'm super tired I do! It's amazing what a 10-30 minute nap will do for me.
