I went to bed at 23:10 yesterday so I was probably asleep by 12, I don't remember waking up in the night at all which is not like me. Vinnie woke up at 06:15 so I made him a bottle and took it in to him, he went back to sleep then until 08:00, I must have been back asleep by 06:45 so I got almost another 1.5 hours.
I got up with him at 08:00 and had breakfast and a coffee and played with him for a bit but I just felt exhausted, he went back down for a nap at 09:30 and I thought I would have an hour as well which I never do anymore, I normally spend his nap time sorting the house out and catching up on things that are awkward to do when he is awake. Next thing I know I could hear him on the monitor and it was 11:30 and even then I really struggled to get out of bed. It is 14:30 now and he is having a little nap and I am tempted to go to sleep myself I still feel like it is early morning and I haven't woken up yet. I was planning on training tonight but I don't think that is going to happen at this rate.
Do you ever have days like this where you could just sleep and sleep ?
The picture is my sisters 3 week old little girl having a nap isn't she a cutie x

Actually that would make sense as I have been anemic in the past, it is only today so I won't worry yet but if it carries on I will get it checked. I had completely forgotten about that x

@shellyjaneo I know, because I have always been anemic and sometimes the level of iron drops and I immediately feel tired.

@shellyjaneo it took me a lot longer to recover and get used to it my wife seemed to adjust a lot faster she doesn't sleep much anyway sometimes I wonder how she doesn't just crash but I think its years of poor sleep that she is used to it.

Baby looks very cute in the picture.
I think you would have been physically tired, therefore, you body would have needed more rest and consequently you slept more than what you expected.

Yes there are days when I could do that. With three kids, I'm usually pretty tired by the end of the day. Although this time last year, I found myself getting more tired than usual. Just going up the stairs I'd be out of breath. Turns out I was anemic. If this persists, maybe talk to your doctor.

A few people have suggested Anemia and it is funny because I used to be Anemic but it never even crossed my mind. If it carries on I will go to the doctor. I am exhausted today but I had an awful nights sleep so it's not a surprise x

Oh yes of course - When the weather is gloomy, the only thing I want is to curl in bed under the fluffy blankets :)

If at all you slept very late compared to your daily schedule, it is quite common that you feel lazy all the day, more over its a weekend, since all the week days you will be tired any busy, you may feel sleepy on this leisure day
