Well, what are your options? I mean really. Are you going to suddenly find an extra three hours to sleep somehow? Or just quit going to the gym?

You ask if you're sabotaging all your hard work. I say, in an ideal world, getting more sleep could probably only help you reach your goals faster. But you live in your world, your life, and it sounds like the cards are stacked against you - you're a mom, a self-proclaimed insomniac, and if you were in a situation where you could get a bunch more sleep, well, wouldn't you be?

I feel like this is one of those times where you have to do the best you can. Strive for better, but do the best you can. Keep exercising, because it's good for you on a million different levels. Keep trying to sleep when you can - could you squeeze in a nap?

Unless you have a method for CREATING extra time in each day that you're not telling us about (do you?), just keep on truckin', honey.

Me, I love the sleep. Mmm. But then, I'm single and have no kids, so I'm afforded that luxury. I'd hire a babysitter just to squeeze in a nap if I had to. That's how much I like sleeping. LOVE sleeping.
