It’s Been an Unusual Pair of Days
Over the past few days, I’ve been occupied with my son’s sleep regression. It’s been hard. Today marks the 21st day of my love letter to life experiment

The past few days have been unusual. I’ve been putting in a lot of effort to get my son to sleep during the day. His schedule is muddled and it’s been challenging to manage his activities. Despite my efforts, the majority of attempts to fix it have not been successful
Yesterday, I made an effort to stay with him throughout the night and into the following day. I allowed him to have a few naps without resting fully for the night, but then let him go when he was tired enough to bed. It didn’t work. He was unable to sleep for four hours and was wide awake in the morning at three
I’m tired, worn out and just about going to die
To reset his clock, I try to keep him in the sun for a period of time as my last resort. What should I do if that doesn’t work?. I’m feeling a bit lost and out of control. The stress has caused me to experience knots in my shoulder and tension headaches. The majority of the time I spend at night is spent in solitude and loneliness, which feels cold

I’ve been looking for reasons to be grateful for, such as things that I could appreciate or a justification for this situation. I find it difficult to express gratitude or rationality during challenging times, particularly when I am sleep-deprived. Nevertheless, I am aware that this may be true if I have the patience to do so
Perhaps I should learn to be patient. Relax and let life flow without interference. I’m not very effective when things don’t go my way. It’s conceivable that things are meant to be disorderly for some time. That’s okay too
I used to feel most alive and energized at night. That night was when I felt like a part of the world and everything seemed to be in place. When I wake up, I experience the same feeling. I used to experience a sense of alertness at dawn, but it was impossible to do so in the past. I was a person who preferred to be in the night. My son’s birth resulted in me becoming a day person

The problem could be attributed to the use of delayed tactics. Unless I am coerced, it is possible that he cannot do the same. To make this task simpler, I could steer into the skid. During the day, I can gather up my son and myself and take a short walk to absorb some vitamin D. I can also organize a movie show and educate him on contemporary motion pictures. Organizing a Mulan movie night would be an enjoyable experience
The key is to make the nights enjoyable for him until he’s back up in daylight. Even if I’m feeling sleepy, there are some ideas of low-energy activities that I can do with my son. My focus should be on having fun and enjoying life, regardless of the time of day it occurs. I should not waste my day enjoying it until he’s back on days. It’s a time of misery
During this time, I’ll be thankful for the company of my child and the peaceful nights spent together. His sleep schedule will be greatly improved if I can alter it. I am unable to do it, but I will be patient with him and myself. I am unable to handle everything and it’s acceptable
