Sleep can be a beautiful thing when maintained at a good balance. Either you're getting enough rest, a good nights rest or full on beauty sleep!!!
For a period of a year I worked really hard on a promotion and balanced everything else making no adjustments to balance everything out. If I got 2 hrs of sleep or none that was just it. Physically I was driven by my goal so I didn't feel tired, it was my outward appearance that was off to me. Why does my makeup look funny and what's up with my hair? And over time I realized it wasn't my makeup that changed it was my face and my hair was suffering too.
These changes occurred because I wasn't getting my rest. I got help with changes and routines to help get more rest and more out of the day.
SOME TIPS
-no naps fight it
-multi task ex: help kid 1 with homework n have kid2 do grocery list
-delegate easy task to family
-be more physically active IN-HOME w/ the family
-dump stress before bed babies aren't the only ones who need to wind down
-exercise
-soothing drink (what soothes u)
-avoid caffeine after 3p
