Had NO Sleep - will i get through the day??

[kate76]

Due to various baby wakings and my increasingly bad sleep, I think I had about an hours sleep last night, if that. Bizarrely I actually feel ok at the moment, but will I collapse later on day??? Has anyone ever survived a day on NO sleep??!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You will probably collapse in the afternoon..... anyone around to let you have a nap then?

ive never survived on a no sleep day...ill be turning into a mad woman...try and have a nap today

I can normally get to about 6pm... then DH gets home and I start sobbing in a corner.

It's definitely do-able, just not very nice.

The tiredness will come and go in waves so you need to just ride with it. If you can't nap, try to be walking around at the sleepy times, eg after lunch.

You'll be fine!

Agree with KTeePee - you will be fine until the afternoon when it will hit you like a brick and you will have a couple of bad hours (probably somwhere between 2 and 5). Then you will feel fine again. I find if I have a really bad night, I can cope ok the next day, but it's the following day I feel worse.

Do try and get a nap this afternoon if you can - or at least veg in front of the TV for a couple of hours! - it will help. Try to get an early night tonight too (warm bath first) - so you get some zzzzz'a in before getting woken again.

I've survived - but been pretty horrible!

Before kids I regulalry used to go with no sleep. Don't go to bed too early tonight or you won't sleep in the night- just go a couple of hours earleir than usual. If you haven't managed a nap by about 4 then I wouldn't bother
