If only sleep comes so easily at night… for eczema baby

It’s strange isn’t it? Eczema baby doesn’t sleep well at night and sometimes fall asleep easily in the day. But yet no matter how tired they are (or how well rested or how anything!), sleep doesn’t come easy when it’s bedtime at night. For more Mom NeedyZz cartoon, see here.

Mom NeedyZz cartoon Sleep Deprivation affects Judgment
I wonder what Kate’s baby is thinking!

Seriously sleep deprivation affects judgment and interestingly, studies showed that we judged poorly on the fact that we are sleep deprived! (ie we don’t even KNOW we need more sleep!) Next week, all the past two months of sleep deprivation is heading towards a breakdown. For more Mom NeedyZz cartoon, see here.

Mom NeedyZz Cartoon – Sleep Loss and Weight Gain

Don't ever think that sacrificing sleep for your family will help to lose weight! from Mom NeedyZz cartoon
Don’t ever think that sacrificing sleep for your family will help to lose weight!

Moms with eczema kids get less sleep simply cos our kids don’t sleep well. For tips on helping your child sleep better, see this post. Apart from the sake of our sanity, sleeping well has the benefit of avoiding weight gain (from the loss of sleep!). When you are awake, you may tend to reach for snacks. Came across a blog post on weight loss when sleeping here, and from WebMD,

The two hormones that are key in this process are ghrelin and leptin. “Ghrelin is the ‘go’ hormone that tells you when to eat, and when you are sleep-deprived, you have more ghrelin,” Breus says. “Leptin is the hormone that tells you to stop eating, and when you are sleep deprived, you have less leptin.”

More ghrelin plus less leptin equals weight gain.

“You are eating more, plus your metabolism is slower when you are sleep-deprived,” Breus says.

What’s your experience? Weight gain or loss while caring for your eczema child? Share in the comments! For more Mom NeedyZz cartoons, see here.

Mom NeedyZz Cartoon – Sleep Deprivation = Memory Loss

Mom NeedyZz Cartoon Sleep Deprivation Memory Loss

From WebMD, it’s stated that “In 2009, American and French researchers determined that brain events called “sharp wave ripples” are responsible for consolidating memory. The ripples also transfer learned information from the hippocampus to the neocortex of the brain, where long-term memories are stored.” Don’t forget that you haven’t had a good night’s sleep and go sleep now! For more of Mom NeedyZz cartoons > here!
