Who Needs Sleep?

Since sleep deprivation is inevitable for new mothers, we need to look for the positive. Here are several reasons sleep deprivation is actually a good thing.

1. You can sleep anywhere.
Couches, floors – even on the toilet. Beds seem unoriginal. (I even sleep with my eyes open, but take it from me: People get freaked out if you start to snore.)

2. You become more flexible.
In pre-sleep-deprivation days you thought out your clothing ensembles. Now you think, "As long as I'm covered and don't have spit up on me, I look pretty good." Then you simply grab the first thing you see in the hamper.

3. Your family won't need television anymore.
Who needs TV when they've got sleep-deprived Mom? For some reason walking into walls always cracks everybody up. Slurred and mispronounced words buy you a snicker. Falling asleep face first in your mashed potatoes may produce outright hysteria.
