My horoscope said it would be a boring day.....why do these thing write the truth once in a while ( and only on the bad things)

Nocturnal seems to be my natural sleep cycle, but I don't get good quality sleep with it so it's really messing with me.

Yeah. I'm nocturnal too and also slightly hyperactive or something. Like, 19 hours awake vs. 5 sleeping isn't uncommon. Even when I sleep more, it doesn't help much because I'm overexerting myself so much when awake.

Thus, I'm rarely well-rested.

I need to get some happy sticks like Greylock.

I love my little sticksies. Have I mentioned that yet? Uhhmmm, sticksies. And since this has come 'round to ENWorld, I should give mad props to alsih0 for introducing me to them. He brought the Tea Tree sticks to a session many moons back, and when I started jonesing something fierce last week I remembered them. Alsih20 iz da man for bringing me and my precious sticksies together.

19 hours awake and 5 asleep? I know that one. But in my case it's a disease called "children"...

Lots of people have had weird sleep schedules.

I believe Leonardo DaVinci and... shoot, someone else... anyway, they'd sleep for 20 minutes every hour. 40 minutes awake, 20 minutes sleeping.

Now *that* is some excessive power napping!

Because you more readily notice the bad things.

Oh so this has turned into the kids are "wonderful" thread. OK, I'll play. This weekend my youngest got the flu. I was so looking forward to this last weekend. I had an article to write, and I just needed some rest. So my 1 year old, who just got over the chicken pox that she got from a vaccination, came down with the flu. She was crying and puking all night Friday (causing me to miss a good chunk of Battlestar Galactica

), sick all day Saturday, up all night Saturday night, and then finally her fever broke on Sunday morning at about 6:00 in the morning. That was 2 hours before my oldest woke up. The whole time I had to deal with puking and/or liquid diarrhea. That meant lots of washing clothes. The smell in her room was awful. Thankfully she started to get better just in time for me to go back to work. Yay!

My kids are pretty easy actually. I have an almost 2 year old that really is gentic copy of the tasmanian devil... then a 5 year old that is overly whiney and insecure with psorasis. Mostly its the hours I work that cause issues for me. I work from 10pm to 7am, come home in time to get them cereal and get my husband off to his own job. Then clean, and play with the kids until there, or at least the youngest one's nap at 4pm... By the time he wakes up my husband is home. So i sleep, on average from 4pm to 9pm... about 5 hrs. The weekends are better but i have to choose between quality time with my husband or sleep.

I am used to it now.. but sometimes i get kind of wore down.
