[quote=Anonymous]Hi exhausted masses, OP here again. Perusing all you thoughtful replies after waking up at 5:45... which, I realize, underscores what an astute PP noted--that is, why not work on your sleep first if you are exhausted? So point taken! But I fear it is the burnout and low-level anxiety that is causing me to wake up (or not be able to get back to sleep after a kid, cat, etc. wakes me) in that witching period of 5-7 am. Not the lack of sleep leading to the burnout, though it certainly exacerbates it.

Which underscores what a vicious cycle this all is... In order to figure out how to rest and recharge (and do life again), we need to rest and recharge.

Well, not sure this is a plan, but all the talk of staycations means that I'm vowing to actually take those 1-2 weeks of PTO that I am going to lose at year-end anyway. And try to do [i]nothing[/i] in those breaks. And try to start keeping a regular, sane bedtime.  And maybe find some CBT gummies or something to put me asleep.

(So yes, I guess that makes the "plan" um, (1) "nothing" and (2) pot. Told you I wasn't exactly working on all cylinders...!)[/quote]
