Then my body got used to the short blocks of sleep. Hang in there.</p> <p>The last time I felt rested was when my husband took care of LO for the 24 hrs before Mother's day. It was soooo nice. Lately, I feel like I'm running on fumes. I gotta make myself go to bed earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-49125 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:48:24 +0000 mynoahbear 49125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-49031 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 17:59:45 +0000 venice4504 49031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, some days more than others. But I know that I'm low on sleep when I can down 4 cups of coffee in under an hour in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-49029 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 17:42:28 +0000 polkadots 49029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: I haven't had it checked out..but I should consider it! I'm tired of always being tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-49021 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:38:47 +0000 Boogs 49021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mynoahbear: I didn't realize your baby was born, congrats!</p> <p>I don't know the last time I felt rested, maybe middle school when I would sleep in until 11am on weekends? All I know is that once I started working at 14 I was always tired between balancing that and school. In college it got even worse since I really have to work to pay for school and school got more demanding. Then, I threw wedding planning into that mix. After graduation, then the wedding, there was home remodeling. So, more sleep loss. Now, a baby. All I know is I hope retirement brings back that rested feeling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-49003 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:36:23 +0000 Wagon Sr. 49003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>great thread. glad to hear I'm not the only one that thinks being a parent and being a zombie seems to have a lot in common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48995 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:23:06 +0000 erinpye 48995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovelife: This is off topic, but have you ever had your thyroid checked? I always crashed in the middle of the day, even in high school, and just recently found out I am slightly hypo-thyroidic. Taking just a bit of thyroid medicine has helped me a LOT!</p> <p>I am resigned to never feeling rested again. Even though LO isn't here yet, she makes me get up about 5 times a night to use the bathroom, so those old days of uninterrupted sleep are gone and once she's here, I don't anticipate they'll be back for many years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48965 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 10:04:36 +0000 mynoahbear 48965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 2 weeks old and i already feel tired. I guess i have a long way to go before i get any rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48944 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 08:26:25 +0000 pelikila 48944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I figure it will be at least 10+ years before I can even think of feeling rested again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48892 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 23:21:16 +0000 MsMamaBear 48892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I dream about sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48884 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 23:02:35 +0000 EmmeBaby 48884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dream of sleep! On the w/e's, DH usually takes LO out to play so I can sleep-in. Call me crazy, my body is now used to sleeping 4-5hrs and I can't sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48877 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:48:33 +0000 polkadots 48877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been tired.... I was never one to have energy, even in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48848 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:59:45 +0000 Andrea 48848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I get a good amount of rest but I am still tired. Parenting is just THAT tiring I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48823 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:23:49 +0000 heffalump 48823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not since my lo came! I'm pretty sure I'll never feel rested again. Once my lo goes to college ... I'll just be up all night worrying about her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48814 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:16:13 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 48814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't felt rested in a year. Sometimes I tell my husband I'd love to sleep for an entire day. He laughs at me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48812 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:14:21 +0000 chopsuey 48812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rest? What's that? I remember sleeping in til noon when I was 9 years old. So you should be able to get good sleep in about 11 years? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-feel-rested-any-more#post-48802 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:01:47 +0000 mrbee 48802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely feel rested these days... I just can't catch up with my sleep needs! Am I really going to be tired for the next 18 years? </p>
