Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2013669 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:01:44 +0000 littlejoy 2013669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even remember what refreshed feels like. My one year old still doesn't sleep through the night. I literally have to drag myself out of bed every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2013658 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:54:08 +0000 alohaorchid 2013658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I figured it out last night, on a worknight I average around 3.5 hours of sleep. Ugh. No wonder I'm so exhausted and achy all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2013094 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 03:47:43 +0000 erinpye 2013094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I haven't gotten enough sleep in 3 years. I can't wait to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time someday, and remember what "well-rested" feels like! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012947 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:14:13 +0000 sarac 2012947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally, yes, and it was a lot of work to get there. It's a function of how well I sleep, and to get really good sleep, I need to exercise, mostly. And make sure to take my vitamin D in the morning, every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012940 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:06:42 +0000 ellewoods84 2012940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to....8 months ago! I don't know how I could feel refreshed after waking 2-4 times a night, and then being woken up wayyyy to early by my baby alarm clock! Maybe one day? Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012862 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 21:11:36 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2012862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it even possible when you have kids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012821 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 20:48:47 +0000 Canoli 2012821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! I hit snooze 3 times before getting out of bed. I've gotten better about getting up (on weekends) since kids but I really miss lounging in bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012677 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 19:22:39 +0000 MrsKMM 2012677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I'm exhausted early (by the time I get home from work!), in bed by 10, alarm is set for 5:50 but I give myself a good 30 mins to hit snooze. Definitely not a morning person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012407 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:29:54 +0000 avivoca 2012407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. No matter what time I get up, I need my 45 minutes to feel human and ease into my day. Once I get to the 45 minutes, my body feels ready to bounce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012397 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:25:00 +0000 psw27 2012397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: everything you said! Jolting out of bed most mornings doesn't count as feeling refreshed right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012387 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:18:23 +0000 nana87 2012387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore! Haha. Someday I'll get enough sleep again...But for now I usually wake up thinking about whether I'll be able to take a nap later or not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012382 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:16:27 +0000 .twist. 2012382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: pretty much exactly what you wrote! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012372 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:12:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2012372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. I'm also not a morning person, and unfortunately adult life means I have to be. It would feel amazing I bet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012360 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:06:54 +0000 Cherrybee 2012360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm, no!! Before I had E I used to enjoy this phenomenon twice per week - Sat and Sun - at around midday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012354 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:06:36 +0000 MrsSCB 2012354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But I have insomnia so I'm basically never rested. I'm hoping it will at least make it less of a shock when I have kids to keep me awake... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012345 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:03:28 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2012345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely, &amp; it's only going to get worse when baby girl gets here. :bummed: Since I've been pg, we do go to bed a little earlier, but the holidays &amp; vacation messed up our bedtime schedule. I aim to go to bed at 9:30p &amp; we wake up at 5:15a. I wake up at least once to use the bathroom &amp; lately it's been tougher to get back to sleep. :sad: I'd love a nap right now, as a matter of fact... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012313 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:45:50 +0000 lamariniere 2012313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm laughing at the title of this post. I never feel refreshed. I am almost always woken up by a crying child. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012307 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:43:24 +0000 Mae 2012307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost never. But I usually feel okay after I'm up about 20 or 30 minutes, unless it was a really rough night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012228 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 14:55:16 +0000 alohaorchid 2012228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. </p> <p>I always thought that I wasn't bad but after having almost 2 weeks off for the holidays and waking up when I felt like it, I really noticed a huge difference in how I felt. I wasn't tired throughout the day and had no desire to nap. Now I realize what getting enough sleep feels like and I'm desperate to figure out a solution to feel like this all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012119 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 14:09:53 +0000 Purpledaisy 2012119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol. Not even before I was a parent. I'm just not a morning person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012094 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 14:02:44 +0000 NovBaby1112 2012094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up refreshed most days. I'm a morning person though, and tend to crash around 9/10pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012047 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:41:45 +0000 CakeLady 2012047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not these days! I go to bed between 9:30 and 10:30 and wake up between 5:45 and 6:30 depending on whether DS has daycare and when he wakes up. That would be plenty of sleep but since DS wakes up 2-3 times a night my sleep is very broken. The fact that it is pitch black outside when the alarm goes off doesn't help either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012032 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:37:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 2012032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes me a bit to "wake up" but usually by the time I'm out of the shower I'm feeling refreshed. It's weird I wake up to the alarm and groan, but on the weekends I wake up at the same time on my own and feel fine/refreshed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012028 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:36:43 +0000 ValentineMommy 2012028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I go to sleep around 10:30 on a weeknight and get up at 5. It's rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012024 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:34:58 +0000 Torchwood 2012024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @Mamaof2 in that I wake up to pee a lot (it's driving me nuts now that I'm pregnant again), but I don't work so I usually don't set an alarm. That way I sleep till I'm ready to wake up, and I'm refreshed. Unfortunately I have very high sleep needs, made worse by first tri exhaustion, so I'm sleeping around 12 hours when I do that. If I set an alarm, I'm never good on waking up. But I think that has to do with the abruptness of the alarm. If DH wakes me up a couple hours earlier than usual, I'm usually okay since he's gentle and gradual about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012021 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:32:25 +0000 Ash 2012021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know the last time this has happened... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2012010 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:28:26 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2012010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No matter how early I go to bed, I never feel refreshed until I am up and moving. I have really high sleep needs too...if I have had 8-9 hours I feel the best, but never until I am actually out of bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2011987 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:15:02 +0000 MapleMoose 2011987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My "alarm" is LO1 and she wakes up early. At 38 weeks pregnant I don't jump out of bed rearing to go these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-feeling-refreshed#post-2011903 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 12:36:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2011903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only on the rare occasion that I STTN</p> <p>I have the worlds tiniest bladder though so I usually wake up at least 2 times to pee :bummed: </p>
