Tips for Moms who suffer from Fatigue AND Insomnia

Tip #1. Buddy up and get the support you need. Becoming a mother comes more naturally to some women than to others. If you lie awake at night worrying about whether you’re up to the job, you might find it beneficial to join a parenting or play group. It’s reassuring and empowering to learn from other mom’s who are going through exactly the same things you are.

Caveat: Avoid the know-it-all women who manage to infiltrate every playgroup. They love to smear others’ parenting skills and they’re famous for asking babies stupid questions like, “When are you ever going to get a tooth?” –Terry Hernon MacDonald, Founder, http://www.HappyGirlMusing.com

Stressed-Out American Women Have No Time for Sleep

You gotta read this … all of this. Here is just one interesting tidbit. – Viveca

Lack of Sleep Disrupts Quality of Life

The Sleep in America poll also finds that a lack of a good night’s sleep is interfering with a woman’s quality of life. Women report that they often choose to put healthy activities last on their priority list as they struggle through their daily lives. When pressed for time, one-half of the women polled responded that sleep (52%) and exercise (48%) are the first things they sacrifice. Additionally, more than one-third of women say they also reduce the amount of time they spend with friends and family (39%), stop eating healthy (37%) and don’t participate in sexual activity with their partner (33%) when they run out of time or are too sleepy in a day. Interestingly, work is the last thing that women say they sacrifice when pressed for time; only 20% of women responded that they would opt to put work on the back burner when they run out of time or are too sleepy.

It’s working … Magnesium

Well I finally got a hold of some Magnesium for Michael and I to try and … it is working!

Started last week taking 500 mg at night before going to bed. We’ve been sleeping the night away ever since. Other great news is that Michael is off of the Melatonin he’s been taking for the past couple weeks. I am relieved – just didn’t feel right to be getting stuck on one solution.

More good news – Also noticing that he has had fewer migraines over the past week. Another symptom of MG deficiency – besides fatigue – is headaches.

The Lemon Water Fatigue Flush

Just reading a cool tip about Lemon Water flushing away fatigue …

Apparently it can take up to SIX hours to process caffeine – so a late afternoon coffee or cola could be keeping you up till the wee hours.

So, next time try drinking 2TBS. lemon juice in 6 oz warm water an hour before bedtime. The “liminoids” help flush toxins, including caffeine, out of the body SIX times faster.

A lot of 6s in this topic. hmmm. I’ll try it anyway. Anything for that good night’s sleep. Sweet dreams.
