It's hard to do anything well when you're exhausted - including parenting. If you're having trouble getting all the sleep you need, and your schedule doesn't permit a daily nap, don't rely on coffee and sugar snacks to give you energy. Instead, every once in awhile, just close your eyes for 30 to 60 seconds and pay attention to the air going in and out as you breathe. Optional: Count silently and slowly - In, two, three, four, Out, two, three, four. This little focused breath will help restore your energy and boost your mood, working more and more powerfully the more you use it.
