I'm a 28 year old mother of 3 boys, ages 6 and under. I work full-time as a morning television director, so my hours are 4am to noon. By the time I get home, my husband is going to work, leaving me with all 3 kids until I force them into bed by 7pm so I can get what resembles a full night's sleep. I've been taking zzzquil for a few months now, which helps me to fall asleep quickly but allows me to wake if the kids need me, and it doesn't give me that hangover feeling in the morning. But I still can't help to be fatigued all day. I barely have the energy to play with my children, and I have trouble concentrating at work. I'll begin a task several times and wander away again and again before completing it. What's more unsettling is that recently, I've begun to mix up my words. If the kids tell me they're thirsty, I'll say, "well go to the bathroom then." Obviously that is not the correct response. It's been happening more and more frequently, and I'm not sure what to do. It seems like it could be an underlying symptom of something bigger, OR given my circumstances I could just need a nice vacation.
