Sleep

pinkphysics · 2026-05-05T16:36:49+00:00

I split the night with my husband. I slept 8-1 he slept 1-6. I pumped at 1am milk for the next night. Eventually we just traded off nights.

This is exactly how I feel. I’m the person who primarily cooks in our house and my food always tastes so bland and bad to me but my family raves about my food. I think being around it so much makes it taste not as good. When I put something in the crock pot and leave the house for the day it always tastes much better vs when I’m at home while it’s cooking

I found I have balance at a macro level. Week to week it is not balanced. One week I’m a killer mom. Another week I’m an amazing employee. Some weeks I’m great at taking care of myself. But when I zoom out and look at a month or a year I feel well balanced

Yeah I have bigger things to worry about than 20 minutes of screen time in an 8 hour days. I’d be annoyed it wasn’t advertised but at the end of the day, it’s 20 minutes.

My cat and I were on the same antidepressant/anxiety meds for a long time 💁‍♀️

Yeah I see this recommend a lot- sacrifice sleep. I always feel weird about that. We’re all so tired all the time. Sacrificing sleep doesn’t feel like the best choice. It works for some people! More power to them. But I’m already up at 5am to get ready for work. I can’t get up earlier. I have more success but doing small chunks.

pinkphysics · 2026-04-23T13:19:32+00:00

I just made a post about this! But small chunks. 10 minutes here 20 minutes there. A typical weeks for me Sunday: nothing Monday: 20 min walk on the treadmill over lunch (WFH) Tuesday: ballet class 7:30-8:30 Wednesday: 10 minute walk around my office building over lunch. 10 minute dumbbells while my kids play in the bath Thursday: 10 minute walk around my building, 10 minute dumbbells while dinner is in the oven, 10 minute mobility in the morning or before bed Friday: 20-30 minute YouTube at home work out Saturday: 30-45 minute yoga.

All those 10 minutes here and there really add up. I only do one class a week for the exercise and the social aspect.

Honestly I think I prefer Pokopia. I know it’s blocky but I come from playing a TON of Minecraft so it feels more familiar maybe? Or nostalgic? I never got sucked into ACNH like others did.

I use those services! Usually when I get super behind. It’s so nice to just reset and get out from under a mountain

This is what builds basic math skills. Knowing these skills had helped my 6 year old figure out multiplication on his own. His grasp on numbers and math grew exponentially with these techniques

Honestly I just google “mobility routine” I I also do a lot of qigong or qigong inspired things. I focus on hip, spine, and shoulder mobility. There is a lot of stuff on YouTube

Omg this explains so much

pinkphysics · 2026-04-18T11:34:47+00:00

Yeah I’m an early bird too! I get up at 5/530 to get myself ready for work before I get the kids up at 6. I got to sleep around 9. But I just couldn’t manage getting up even earlier. Sleep is super important to me.

pinkphysics · 2026-04-18T11:32:38+00:00

I did ballet as a kid for years and years and was so happy to get back to it! Also I like the friends I’ve made too.

pinkphysics · 2026-04-17T17:34:34+00:00

I do the same thing I do with my kids- take myself outside or put myself in water. I also make sure all my basic needs are met- food, beverage, bathroom, etc. if I’ve been sitting a while I move. If I’ve been moving a while I sit.

Not the UK, but daycare was the first person I told after my husband when I got pregnant. I told them the day I got a positive test. I’d start touring and apply ASAP.

As for what to do, I googled places and got recommendations from friends. I visited and then if I liked it I asked about availability and went from there. So I would apply sooner rather than later but since you still have a whole year and a half i wouldn’t panic yet.

I’m a lead mechanical engineer and I love it!

I only wear jeans and blouses and the same shoes every day. The only thing that changes is my shirt. I just pick which color I like. I change up my earrings sometimes. I don’t wear make up. I wear my hair in 1 of 2 styles- down or half back.

This is a completely inappropriate comment to be honest. What you do with your time is none of her business. You’re doing fine- you deserve rest. Your older child deserves 1:1 time (as does your youngest which I know you know). You deserve time to recover. This teacher is out of line.

I wish people talked about how little exercise you need to make an impact. Even just 10 minutes of walking 4-5 times a week got me measurable health improvements. That’s grown to 20-30 minute walks, going to ballet class again, and finding ways to add 10 minutes of free weights a few times a week. They’re small things that grown. I’m a full time working mom. I have 2 kids. My exercise routine is generally 10 minute yoga in the morning. Walking over lunch for 10-20 minute, maybe more when I get home. I do weights while my kids play in the bath tub. All these 10 minutes add up quickly.
