Exhaustion is so disorienting. I remember when my kids were very young and I couldn’t sleep well, sometimes would get up because I had to pee, go to the bathroom but not be entirely convinced I was actually awake and not dreaming so I wasn’t going to risk peeing in case I was dreaming.
Now I go to sleep when I am sleepy, not before, and if it’s late I text my husband “let me sleep until I wake up please”. He has an alarm but I sleep through it, he wak s me up gently. Very luxurious.
