Yes, I often make plans for the weekend, but when the time comes, I am too lazy to follow through and just want to take a nap instead.  Sometimes I am even too lazy to watch TV...now that's bad.

I read your question and it is EXACTLY what I went through when my husband was deployed just a WEEK after our son was born... and as I write this he is in the Mojave Desert training for the next deployment later this year. I know just how you feel... I was so exhausted from being the only one to care for my son (kudos to ANY single parent out there by the way) and I thought that I could get stuff done when he slept... But I was so tired that I also ended up watching tv or browsing on the computer... So, one day I just went out and bought a set of windsor pilates cause my back was killing me. I made a routine for myself: I got up at least an hour before my son's first morning feeding and did a workout from the pilates thing. I then took a timed shower and then tended to the baby for pretty much the rest of the day. I had a place on the dinner table and a smaller table in the living room where I'd have daily/ weekly checklists of what I wanted to do in that time period. (I even had to put "Eat breakfast and lunch" in there cause I'd forget to sometimes, because of the baby). Anyway, see what happens the first couple of days or so and the next week try to break the previous record. You'll still be caring for baby but you'll be keeping yourself busy when he's settled for a bit so you can manage your time better when you get a chance. I had lots of family around but they were always so busy and I felt guilty asking for help. Oh, so anyway, I'd make it a point to be in bed by 8:30pm but no later than 9:00pm. It's sounds lame but I used to do this in college and I felt awesome the next day, even though I woke up at 5am sharp. Sometimes I'd just lay there with my eyes open. Eventually, my body realized it needed rest and adjusted to the schedule. I was so refreshed the following morning and thanks to the mini workout I squeezed in the mornings, my aches and pains from stress and exhaustion were gone. It doesn't seem like much, but you definitely need to take care of yourself in any little way you can. Take up a small hobby, project, or indulge yourself a little and put it in your checklist. I hope my weird regimen doesn't seem too lame... lol... it worked for me and kept me "sane" while my husband was gone. I'm still on it for the most part, but now that our son is 19 months it's a little easier to get things done. Best wishes to you and your son and husband; Good Luck!!! ...now get some sleep woman!!!

Kick back and do nothing. I just want to get caught up on some rest. Be lazy for one day.

yes, because i am falling into a deep state of unconsiousness, known as sleep. i think of important things, which i nearly instantly forget. but i remember they are important. falling asleep is nothing like the way it is presented on television or on the media. the natural way is simply shutting down all organs in your system for utter tranquility and comfort. when i am tired, i tend to do strange things. yesterday, i was exhausted after my 2nd class at school, so i left home without even considering the circumstances. being tiresome completely changes my personality. i wouldnt be the least bit surprised if the same occured to everyone else. i hope i answered your question correctly =).

Yeah, I've just always had trouble sleeping, and seem to function a lot better at night.  It's not like I hate the sun, or anything, but when I'm not distracted by everything else going on, I feel a lot more relaxed and focused.  In fact, I should be doing my homework at the moment...oops.  Little too relaxed. :)

I'm not working this week at all - or next week...so I did spend more time than usual. And I do feel guilty about it, yes...:) I'm really wondering if I need to just STOP - cold turkey. It's tough to wrench myself away from this site. And it's actually ridiculous. I don't know if I can limit myself to say, 30 minutes a day, because there is this nice-competitive edge in me and I like being at level 4. Now I have double my points to go to make it level 5...and for what? \n\nThanks for listening.

No, I was up, off and on all night. Today a lot of things in my life will change, for the better," It's time Raffiki", that is a line from the Lyon King. As far as the rest of your day, make it right, I'm sending you lot of energy with wonder dust, you go buy yourself a red bull. Have a good day, life is not promised my friend, good thing you got up at all, that's half the battle.\nGod bless us all...

i'm not heartbroken, but i am disappointed right now. i was gonna attend a piss out with my mate who promised to give me a lift. i was waiting for him since half six, and it was already quarter to eight pm. and some of my mates already in the party were trying to ring me to see if i was still going, but i was already pissed off i didn't feel like going there.\n\nnow, i'm watching my favourite flicks, while answering questions here. makes me feel a lot better. i should be fine tomorrow.\n\ni hope you'll be fine by tomorrow as well. isnt it a comforting thought that youre not alone? we're both feeling disappointed right now, so ye.

i noticed that i would get up really early for an early shift at work (ie- when i absolutely had to be there or else bad consequences)and had a hard time rousing myself other times when it was something i wanted to do for me.  try multiple... i mean MULTIPLE loud alarms 4 minutes apart.  it gave me the sense of being bugged to get up urgently.  also having a light on in the house helps, like the bathroom light that you can see from bedroom door.  once up and moving i'm not too bad.... and think of a treat you'd get up for, like a good coffee, shower, going out for breaky.  it took me 6-12 months to be good in the mornings... but i guess the main thing is that i decided i had a life i wanted to live, not sleep through.  and yes, there is much to do, and i tell myself if i'm really that tired, i can take a break and a quick catnap later on.... but i seldom need it.   also getting fitter and healthier helped, ensuring i do at least 150mins of cardio a week ( and that used to sound impossible to me), and make sure you do get a good night's sleep at least 5 nights a week.  don't stuff sleep around... it really is sooooo important and undervalued.  don't motivate yourself with things you HAVE to do...what are you doing them for? to create a life you love? to make your life easier?to make you happier? "because you have to" or to please others is enough to keep anyone from getting up and starting their day.  remind yourself that you really WANT to get up and be active. upon waking, tell yourself you reaaly LOVE your life... and fake it until you make it.  good luck.

I'm thinking that I'm sad and I don't know why. . . Maybe I'm just tired- maybe I'm about to start-  I feel the lump in my throat like I'm about to cry.  I think I'm just a little lonely b/c my man and children are sleeping and I'm still awake at 2:09 AM- I'm thinking that there are so many closed-minded people in the R & S section.  \n\nThanks for asking

Perhaps your energy level was just low.  Have a good dinner, get some good rest, and retry tomorrow.  It'll probably be better if you're usually a better shot.  Don't try to change anything big if you're usually a better shot.  My daughter is a baller, and once in a while, she just can't hit anything!!

all my close friends are out of town...all my immediate family members are out of town...i have some movies arriving today via netflix...so it looks like it will be a movie night for me which is very uncharacteristic of me...i guess everyone has one of those nights every so often.

At home, it's dawn, I'm tired and I work tomorrow. I think I'm addicted to the internet. There's an informercial on tv but I'm too tired to change it. I wish I was sleeping.

I think everyone is a little afraid of being alone at night.  I always sleep on the couch when I'm alone.  Then, I leave extra lights on and the TV on.  That helps me feel less alone.  Could you not go stay with someone else?
