Sounds silly, but go for a walk, or do something outside, kinda makes you forget about the tiredness and able to plough through the day...
If that doesnt work, then just chill and relax and have a early night

There's only been once answer to that since coffee was invented! lol

Good call.....


Also if baby naps you nap. X

Coffee, energy drinks, fresh air, cold water spray (quite an extreme method, squirting yourself in the face with cold water but it does work!)

I'm on nightshift and had a few days I've had to watch Aria straight after due to no child care so I've been up like 30-40 hours. Somehow you just do it hun. Tis not nice and you feel like screaming! I actually think getting up andf out helps, means no chance of nodding off and being stuck in doors makes everything seem worse.

Keep busy busy busy! I am getting about four broken hours a night at the moment and it's a killer, but the busier you are the less you notice it.

yes, forget about housework and go out for a bit! It's tough but before you know it it will be bed time, just go to bed when baby does and read a book - you'll be asleep before the end of the first page x

Lots of chocolate and cake for energy!!

In the first six months I used to drink so much coffee and tea that I felt sick, but it got me through (just about). Also, having really early nights helped too (I resented it, but I felt so much better for it!).
Hugs to you, I will never ever forget how awful sleep deprivation is xx

I agree about going out it really does wake you up

Or if possible have a nap while baby is asleep

Pro Plus! I'm working about three jobs at the minute and have chronic insomnia, and it's the only thing that's keeping me functioning!

I've been gettimg by on 3 hours a night for so long now that if I get 3 hours in a row my body won't go back to sleep... I find caffeine makes it worse also.
