    Sleep deprivation swaying pink?

    Had anyone thought about sleep deprivation swaying pink? I wonder if it could, under the theory of declining maternal condition. Sleep deprivation really taxes your system. I wonder if this could sway??

    Atomic said this was (an unintended!) part of her sway, and I'm thinking about adding it in the last 1-2 weeks before ovulation.

    It was a pretty major role in my sway too (also unintended). And atomic mentioned it was something that could speak to the declining condition of the mother. But I think she also said it was pretty unproven and probably would have to be pretty intense/long-lived to have much of an effect. But I'm sure she will pop on and correct me if I misspoke. I had a horrid sleeper of a second child and was lucky to get a often-broken 5-6 hours for his entire first 13 months, like crazy-inducing lack-of-sleep. I got sick a lot because of it too. I don't really recommend torturing yourself. But if a couple hours shaved off makes you feel more confident (and not obsessive), go for it!

    We may be done, we may come back for one more sway. Time will tell. At the moment, we are very content with our family!

    Yes I believe it sways pink BUT I hesitate to really push people to include it, since most of us are caring for small children and obviously it's not healthy in the long term. Some people take a suggestion and take it to crazy places and I don't want anyone falling asleep while driving for something that is no magic bullet anyway (because there ARE no magic bullets)

    I was so sleep deprived it was horrible and I could barely function let alone take care of two active boys. Luckily I never had to drive anywhere because when I would sit to watch TV I would fall asleep in like 30 seconds. We had a near miss where I accidentally gave my son my adult allergy medicine instead of his kids' allergy medicine because I was so exhausted. And I have just seen way too many swayers do stuff (pardon my French here) but that is bat-sh-- crazy and I know if I start telling people, hey try getting less sleep that there are going to be people sleeping 2 hours a night and crap like that. So...just, no. Something that prob. sways but just isn't worth it.
