Sleep Deprivation Slows Analytical Thinking
Attachment Parenting, Jack, Peaceful Motherhood Add commentsSince day 1 I have approached motherhood algorithmically. It is always one of these few things: hunger, wind, sleepiness, diaper, attention. But it is useless when your brain is too wasted to make a clear analysis and act on it.
Jack was still hungry last night. He’d fed, cried, burped repeatedly, and wanted to sleep. He finally slept at 1230am and woke at 330am, 730am, and 11am. If I’d just fed him more at 11pm, he may have slept till 5am as he usually did, but I was just too tired.
The lack of caffeine doesn’t help. I’m used to a cup of green tea at least. Now without even OJ, I am stuck with milk, which makes me even sleepier.
Meanwhile, my arm’s going to be numb. I forgot to strap MBF and Jack fell asleep with my left arm wrapped heroically around him. Need Ben & Jerry’s ice cream at least…
