Okay so I have been babysitting my 2 year old cousin from 8 am to 5pm on weekdays for the past week. He is very wild and hard to keep up with so at the end of the day I am so tired. When I go home I can't even keep my eyes open so I take a nap for a few hours. I already have insomnia but don't take anything for it so at night I can't fall asleep or stay asleep so I usually only sleep two to three hours per night. I have to get up at 5:30 am to get ready to babysit so I am extremely worn out and tired. Now I feel sick but not like I have an actual sickness like the flu, the stomach bug, or a cold. My stomach just feels off and I feel like I'm going to throw up. So I haven't been eating very much. I will eat a very small cup of dry cereal when I wake up, and nothing all day until about 7 I have a small dinner like one slice of pizza or something. And I only drink about one water bottle all day. I don't feel hungry but force my self to eat. Is it normal to be so tired like this that you feel sick?

    Are you nuts?

    How can you not be tired if you're not feeding your body and also leaving it dehydrated? On top of that, you're running around after a 2 year old. You may not feel the actual pain of hunger but your poor body is trying to give you other signals. You're probably too hungry to sleep too!
    On one occasion I had to get my husband up to help me with our baby coz I didn't know if I was going to vomit or pass out - I was sooooo tired.

    Grow up!
    It's obvious now why they say 'pain is a blessing' coz it let's you know when there's something wrong with your body.

    My sister in law couldn't feel contractions during child birth, although the machine reading was off the scale. Using your method, she'd still be pregnant and the child would be dead inside her coz she wouldn't know to push.
