I'm a sleepy person in that I need my 8 hours of sleep. Before having kids that was one of my worries about the prospect of having kids - how would I cope with the sleep deprivation?! Usually if you cut my beauty sleep, you'll face a cranky me. Now when I have kids and am sleep deprived by more than my son's age of 3.5 years... well, sure, I might be cranky (I don't know, ask my husband!!). But I feel I've managed much better than expected. Despite continually interrupted nights, I feel pretty much normal. And for further background info, my 8 month old son still wants feeding every 3 hours or so. So I haven't slept a full night in I have no idea how long. I think it's better not to head down that road and count... might lead to crankiness finally!! And there he is again, getting up to cry out for momma. So to cut this short, I think I have an extra dose of those newborn-mothering hormones that help. Or something.
