Who knows about sleeping problems?!
Question: Who knows about sleeping problems.?
I'm always really tired and I could sleep at anytime of the day. I have a six month old and she gets up early so it's so hard for me. When she takes naps I sleep too. It's not being lazy because I was never like this before. It's like it's uncontrollable! Does anyone have any suggestions on what could help... besides coffee! Health Question & Answer

You may not be getting restorative sleep, even if you feel like you are sleeping. I run an online support group for sleeping disorders, and there are quite a few young and new mothers there. You can email me if you want.
I have all kinds of web sites and ten yrs of experience with the support group. We can help.Health Question & Answer

That problem is called being a new mom, and it will get better as soon as she gets used to sleeping for longer periods. I did what you do, nap when she napped, and drank lots of coffee (if you are not breastfeeding, remember caffeine is secreted through human milk).

Could be slightly deficient in your B vitamins. I imagine with a young one, you do not eat right. B vitamins are your energy vitamins so either a good multivitamin or a supplement of your B vitamins, esp 12, would help. Be careful not to overdose as the side effects are pretty bad (irritability, memory loss, insomnia, tiredness etc)Health Question & Answer
