Learning as I go

[tested metal]

I will have to start trying Excerdrin PM. I know that W has hard time sleeping as she used Tylonol PM regularly for sleep but was afraid that she would not wake up for baby's cries. So I would take care of baby at night for her so she could get sleep.

For me I know it is a PTSD thing as I wake up every night at 3 am and can't sleep until 6 pm. This was the same pattern I would have when living with W and would be waiting awake at home in bed for W to come home when I lived with her.

I am trying the Stop sign thought block, but it does not always work at night. If I have a stiff one (alcohol, for you preverts :)) before bed I sleep hard, but I am not well rested. So I will try the tylonol PM or excedirn PM.

I know from other's posts the sleep thing is part of the territory and sadly take some comfort in that.

Thank you all for being so kind, even if I have to be 2x4ed. Anything helps at this point.

There is no where to go but up! (I hope)
