I had a snack at about 10:30 last night, I had some cottage cheese, thinking protein would be nice and sustaining, as well as a few dark chocolate chips and a little fruit. At 3:00 am I was awakened by a painfully ravenous tummy, crying out for food! After a few vain attempts to ignore it, I reluctantly headed to the kitchen to get a snack. This time it was apple slices and almond butter. I struggled to get back to sleep after this because my brain was ON, and I wasn't sure my insatiable little tummy was full, but eventually I dozed off. However, not 4 and a 1/2 hours later, before 7:30 am I was AGAIN no longer able to sleep and ignore my protesting stomach!!
This is very frustrating, for one, as all who know me well can attest, I used to be a champion "sleeper-inner", sometimes lasting till past 10:00 am!! It was lovely! ;) However, in the past month I've lost my beloved talent, as I'm no longer able to last past 8:00 am!! And secondly, I'm extra tired lately since my little parasite is also draining some of my energy, but between kids and tummy, it's hard to find time to sleep. :P
