I used to have really bad insomnia before I had children. After I had children, I was hypervigilant, woke at the slightest sound. Sleeping with a baby, woke up before I’d shift a muscle. For about 18 years I almost never slept through the night, but when I did wake up I went back to sleep easily.
Now sometimes I fall asleep with the dog. I kick her without the least concern and she’s the one who wakes up.
You know why women can’t sleep? Besides pregnancy, peeing, children and hormones?
Because men snore.
