    Having three kids, I get this sometimes. After bedtime is usually the first real chance I have to be alone in the day, so I don’t get any “Me” time until like 9 or 10 at night, and by that point I’m so exhausted, but maybe there’s something I’ve been wanting to get to all day I just don’t want to sleep. Other times I’m so wiped out I just let sleep take over, then do the whole thing all over again the next day.

      I feel this, but it’s only one kid for me. Three must be insane. Most days I look forward to something intended to occupy that free time, but like you I’m always wiped or experiencing a headache by 8pm or later. So I’ve gotten back into reading. Low energy, comfy, can do it on bed. Except now I open the book and am nodding off between sentences. Falling asleep easier than ever, but doomed nonetheless.

        This is me, but I don’t have any kids. I’m just tired and one thing I’ve been wanting to do will gain priority over the other: e.g. play a game/do something productive around the house etc., OR try to sleep. More often than not I decide to use the time trying to sleep which translates into watching a few hours of IASIP in bed. I believe that’s Michael Scott’s win win win scenario, right??
