Uninterrupted Sleep- A luxury for Mothers
By Dominique Goh
Entering motherhood I was shocked to realize that Sleep was one of the things which I had to cut down on. Nobody told you that having kids will change your biological clock so drastically. Gone are the days where I can have six to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Ever since the kids arrived there isn't a night that goes by where I am not aroused from my sleep by the babies cries or one of the kids fussing in their beds.
I guess this is the change that one goes through when one becomes a mother. Being responsible for another being means having to sacrifice one's sleep to attend to the needs of the baby of toddler. Having insufficient sleep on a rather long term basis has let to me developing eye bags and even putting on extra weight. I really envy parents who have kids who are able to sleep through the night. Unfortunately my kids do not fall into that category. Sleep is a necessary for one to function during the day. How then am I able to "steal" back the hours I need for my body to properly restore its energy level? I have learnt to take cap nap/powernaps in the day when the kids are taking their naps. This has helped me to give myself a temporary boost in energy level. How do you as a parent cope with sleep deprivation? |
