I read this article about sleep deprivation on the bbc this morning. I hadn´t actually realized the extent of it - 2 months a year. Given I was the only one to get up during the night when my babies cried, even when I was working full-time, and given that neither Marcel nor Charlotte slept through the night until they were 15 months and Léon didn´t until he was about 14 months, then I guess I must be owed somewhere between 6 and 9 months extra sleep by now. That would explain why I am definitely wrinklier than I was 10 years ago! (Not that it wasn´t worth it - they are such precious little people)
It does make you worry about how awake half the drivers on the road at rush hour are, though, doesn't it?
It certainly makes me worry about how awake YOU are these days with your early rises ??
ReplyDeletenot too sure i want to be awake - my life is definitely easier if i stay half asleep ;-)
