A Great Solution for Sleep Deprived Moms
Saturday, October 21, 2006 at 11:57PM Sleep Deprivation...I know it well!
Even before my son was born, I remember not sleeping well in those last few weeks of pregnancy...
Then, My beloved son did not sleep through the night til he was about 2 1/2 - and he only napped for about 20 minutes at a time!
And I often stay up late to work on this website!
So...how do I make it through the day?
I have a little secret I'm going to share with you! It's the same secret that shift workers and emergency crews use when helping out in major disasters over the course of several days...
They Powernap!
There is an art to powernaping. Too long and you'll be exhausted! Too short and you won't feel refreshed either. But perfecting that art is too hard for an exhausted mother to do on her own...so...
A few years ago, out of utter desperation, I ordered a great Powernap CD from Wendi.com -- the most popular hypnotherapist on the Web.
Thank G-d For Wendi!
This CD really, really helps when I'm dragging. Though the 20 minute powernap is the best, it also has options for 5 and 10 minute powernap!
I still use it ALL THE TIME. (I just make sure to set an alarm for a few mintues after the cd is over...just in case I go into a deep sleep, but that rarely ever happens)
Ladies, seriously, this is one of the best solutions I have to offer. If you are consistently sleep deprived -- get this as a gift for yourself! You can find it at http://www.solutionsforbusymoms.com/powernapcd
I just found this great little self-contained power nap machine. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks great. Check it out here: http://www.solutionsforbusymoms.com/pzizzpowernap
I STILL think powernaps are a GREAT solution for busy moms!
