Sleep Deprivation-how do you cope???

[Ginger]

yeah i hear you. i have good patches and bad patches. some weeks i feel ok, other weeks i just wanna curl up in a ball and sleep forever.
i guess the only way i get through it is to try to unclutter my life and not let my life get too busy, itms? when i'm too busy is when i really feel the effects of the tiredness. so, i try to not do unecessary things. i've learned how to say no to people- as my rest and health is more important.
if possible as well, i try not to commit to too many things until the last minute. i take the attitude of 'i'll see how i feel' before i go making big plans of any kind.
i figure this is just a phase of my life and things will get a lot better.

eta- oh and i have a coffee every morning!
