Oh Really, Not Enough Sleep For Moms?

tired momNo big surprise here. Do any moms get enough sleep? Too much to do in such a short day!! Below is an actual study of 500 moms where over half of them admitted to not getting enough sleep. Those same moms also believe that they would be better parents if they actually did get more sleep. Hmmm.. maybe we should do something about this - but what?

Find someone else to cook dinner, clean the house, go to work, feed the kids, get them ready for bed. I doubt most moms would want to give up all that - well maybe the cleaning part :)

I guess for now we’ll just have to on as we have been and try to squeeze in a cat nap every once in a while (literally, my cat sleeps about 20 hours a day! - if only)

A nationwide survey of 500 mothers by research firm Braun Research found 54 percent of respondents said they were not getting enough sleep.

Full-time working mothers were suffering the most with 59 percent saying they were not getting enough sleep. Half of the working mothers said they were getting six or fewer hours sleep a night.

Stay-at-home moms fared better with 48 percent saying they were sleep deficient.
