I am so tired all the time that I started taking naps with Zach in the afternoon awhile back.
If you are tired shouldn't napping make you feel better? I almost always wake up really groggy and cruddy feeling. Even if I slept for 2 hours it doesn't feel like enough. I could probably sleep all day if my life allowed it.
I go to bed pretty regularly around 10:30 every night and get up at 6:50 every morning. That seems like it should be enough sleep. I wake frequently throught the night, probably 5-10 random times but I never stay awake more than a minute or two so why I am so tired?
I'd love to be the ideal mother but I'm too busy raising my kids.

Hmm.... hard to say. There could be many things contributing to your being tired. Low iron, sleep apnea, poor sleep patterns, etc., etc. I'm not sure what to tell you. I would try to normalize your sleep pattern as much as you can... with kids, I'm sure that's a pretty hard thing to do. But that's probably the best thing I can offer. What has your MD said?
