Get better sleep

babysitting this 2-year-old all day while his mom’s at work. Running around after him and playing outside (when it’s nice out) tires me out so much, I can just fall asleep now! well, at least for the past 2 weeks! I crashed early (7 pm) last night and slept through for about 8 hours before waking up the first time! I was so refreshed this morning, it feels great!

in my life and in the lives of those around me. I’ve been so exhausted that I’m asleep by 1 am (trust me, this is a good thing, as opposed to 4 or 5) and I don’t have anything to do most mornings, which is good because I still am waking up a few times during the night because I’m thirsty or have to go to the bathroom, but I can usually get back to sleep fairly soon (withing 5-10 minutes) so that’s a good thing.

My brain just refuses to shut down. Definitely having problems lately due to stress in my life and in the lives of people close to me. All I want is to be able to get to sleep at a decent hour and be able to sleep through the night. I’m getting really frustrated.
