To be sick of the threads concerning lack of sleep where the OP refuses to act on any advice

[Honeysuckle9]

Its awful, I know. It’s torture, I know. Posters get lots of good advice and just refuse point blank to consider acting on it. It drives me nuts, why bother post

Given that the advice generally covers every possible option including "wait and see" the OP is probably taking somebody's advice. And when you are exhausted, it can be really hard to take actual action. Sometimes people just need to store up information and options for a time when they have enough energy to put the advice into practice.

Don't read them then? Sometimes people need sympathy and reassurance rather than problem-solving/being told it's all their own fault because they should be doing XYZ.

Haven't seen any threads like that so they can't be that prolific.

If they annoy you don't read them, easy.

Because it's usually the same old 'sleep hygiene' advice that simply doesn't work. If it did no one would have sleep issues.

Because advice is just that- posting on here doesn't obligate anyone to act on the suggestions of strangers, particularly if they don't think it's practical or likely to work.

Sometimes the advice is fairly useless.

“Help, 8mo won’t sleep. Have read all the books, been through three sleep consultants, PUPD doesn’t work, gradual retreat doesn’t work, controlled crying doesn’t work, baby is sleeping about 12 minutes per night, we are on our knees, what do we do?”

“Have you tried putting them down drowsy but awake?”

I feel the same way about “why can’t I lose weight” posts
