I found this interesting, I know that when my kids were small I was SO sleep deprived it wasnt funny, then we lost my cousin in a car accident and I suffered with insomnia for about 7 years. Of course, when we're running on no sleep we self medicate with caffeine and sugar to keep going because stopping is not an option! I am so thankful to be off that miserable cycle. I truly feel for those with sleeping issues. Now, if I could just convince my hubby he doesnt need me to get up with him at 5am!
