Dd is two and hasn't been the worlds best sleeper but will now often sleep at night.
The trouble is if she does wake in the night say a nightmare or teeth or whatever she will not go back to sleep and gets more and more lively as the night goes on. So last night went down at 7.30 woke at 1.30 and hasn't been back to bed since.
We've tried everything but she just won't go back to sleep so I'm currently sat here with a thumping headache and the vile cold I'm off work with is making a comeback rather than get better.
The only way to avoid this us to simply not go to her in the night which isn't really an option.
Tbh I'm ranting a bit because I'm completely sick of over two years of unpredictable or broken sleep.
Sick of having a headache.
Sick of being moody.
Sick of having bad skin and bags under my eyes.
Sick of not having any energy to live my life as I'd like to.
Sick of eating junk and not having the energy to exercise.
Sick of having to see different drs for poor health when all I need is regular sleep.
Dh is brilliant and would be up all the time if I didn't insist he wasn't.
He works shifts so he does need to rest.
I'm mostly sad that she us my last baby and I've been unable to really enjoy her as I'm too tired and resentful.
I often wish I'd never had her. Isn't that awful?
