I went to bed at 12 AM with chills and feeling achy. So tell me why I woke up fully rested, hot &…

Well for the feeling yucky part you probably caught something but your immune system fought it off before it could become a full-fledged sickness. As for why you feel fully rested I don't know. Maybe you really didn't need a lot of sleep. That's actually happened to me a few times where I only get like 4 or 5 hours of sleep and I feel rested.

@mommiesaremagical14, well I hope that’s true, because I really don’t want to be sick. I hate having chills as it is & I definitely don’t want to pass on my sickness to my LO. I want to sleep more before he wakes up but I just can’t.

@sarasmilesatyou I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I have a really strong immune system I am 34 and I've only been sick 3 times my entire life when I was 5, 24 and then last year. They only lasted a day or 2. Have you thought about taking anything to help you sleep like maybe melatonin? I got a bottle of melatonin and I take it on the nights I struggle to fall asleep.

@mommiesaremagical14, I’ve thought of that but I don’t think I’ll take it. Our LO sleeps with us and I’m a heavy sleeper so I don’t want to increase my risk of forgetting he is there and moving or hurting him when I sleep. Because I’m okay now with being aware.

@sarasmilesatyou oh yeah, I understand that maybe try drinking some sleepy time tea before bed?

@mommiesaremagical14, are there any alternatives to that? I hate tea...😅

@sarasmilesatyou only other thing i can think of is as much as it will suck try pulling an all-nighter stay up all day the next day then go to bed no later then 10pm the following night. Ive gotten myself back on a schedule that way a few times.

@mommiesaremagical14, I’ll have to try it then! Hope it works! Thank you!

Me too, I hope you find something that works.
