That way I can either lie on the couch or next to her on the floor. </p> <p>@Rubies: Hope your LO figures out her sleep soon so you can both get some rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73914 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:37:18 +0000 Rubies 73914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also in that camp, too. LO's sleeping is being sabotaged by her rolling over and it's affecting all sleep (naps, night, mine). You can tell when I'm a zombie based on the number of posts I have. Lots = good sleep. Little = bad sleep.</p> <p>I don't have advice :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73904 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:24:24 +0000 tequiero21 73904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i usually make up the hours later because right now, we don't have strict deadlines. i haven't been sleeping well lately either so i'm pretty zombified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73902 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:23:13 +0000 mrs. wagon 73902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually go for a short walk thru the museum and shop in the gift shop and pick up a coffee or diet coke and a snack in the cafeteria. By the time I'm back at my desk, I'm a little more energized and I have a snack to tide me over til the end of the day! (zombified usually happens around 2pm, I leave at 4.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73874 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:49:01 +0000 lemondrop 73874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was Saturday- I felt crummy all day and my husband was at work. Can't exactly call in sick as a SAHM. </p> <p>That night I had my first "mommy meltdown" of being too tired and overwhelmed- so my husband had me pump a few bottles and he took the night shift. I felt so good on Sunday! He on the other hand was exhausted- it made me feel better that its not just me who feels run down after a night shift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73869 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:47:18 +0000 cupcakemama 73869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: ditto!</p> <p>Exercise usually perks me up, even just a brisk walk. Otherwise hit the coffee pot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73845 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:21:10 +0000 MamaMoose 73845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you get to a gym for a quick run? That usually peps me up for a while. And getting in a good work out will also help you to sleep more soundly tonight. </p> <p>When all else fails lots of caffeine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73811 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:37:04 +0000 chopsuey 73811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm SO SO SO tired too. It's been a long week! Finally home though!<br /> Luckily my work is at home taking care of lo. DH's off again tonight so i'll be flying SOLO FOR 2 DAYS.<br /> BABY ATTACK!~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-and-useless-today#post-73807 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:30:07 +0000 mrbee 73807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am zombified since Charlie woke up early today and yesterday... each day I took a small nap, but then couldn't sleep at night. So I am super tired.</p> <p>What do you do when you're zonked and useless at work? I actually have a lot of work I have to get done before midnight, so I can't just try and nap or zonk my way through the day... </p>
