“Tired people are a bit like flat tires. The deflation is not a permanent condition, but as long as they are out of air, they just can’t be their usual selves. Tired people are, above all, tired. “ ~Making Babies
Other key qualities of a tired person may include:

· Often feels cold, especially their hands and feet
· Often has dark circles under their eyes
· Has trouble concentrating and little motivation
· Digestive complaints
· Puts on weight easily, especially under stress
· Long cycles, late ovulation and spotting
Check. Check. Check. I hadn’t read the book since we first started this journey, and I feel like I’m seeing this information with new eyes. And it’s giving me a new motivation.
Not only is being Tired a hindrance to healthy conception, frankly, it’s no way to live. In fact, it would be really great to fix this tired thing before becoming a mom. The way I hear it, once that happens, you’re destined to be exhausted for the rest of your life.
Not that I've read the book or anything, but just reading the short description you gave, I think I'd be thrown in the "tired" category with you, too. You & me in the same category???? WHY AM I NOT AT ALL SURPRISED????? :)
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I must be a different "type" since none of the stuff I've tried yet is working. But every time I take the quiz, yup -- tired and stuck. Just had another friend tell me she's tired and stuck, too. Quite the club we've started!
ReplyDeleteI seriously wonder who in America gets enough sleep. I know no one who gets enough sleep. I think it's all a big lie to make us all feel bad.
ReplyDeleteI think those who sleep well are babies and adults who have Nyquil nightcaps.
ReplyDeleteHow do you fix the tired part??? Any tips the book offered?
