Mother fucking fatigue can go to hell and fuck itself with a 12" dildo.

3. I avoid them for that very reason.

Anything over 20 minutes and I wake up feeling ten times worse.

4. If I lie down for a nap, I'm out cold for two hours and then it takes two hours to recover.

It's just not worth it for me.

A couple times when I was pregnant I just basically dropped out cold. The fatigue hit me like a powerful drug, and I HAD to sleep right then and there. One time I was driving and that hit me and I didn't think I'd make it home, even though I was less than half a mile away.

5. You might be napping too long.

I find that if I "power nap" for 20-30 minutes, I'm fine. Any longer than that, and I'm toast for the rest of the day.

7. Sleep Inertia

If you sleep for more than 20-30 minutes you're probably slipping into slow-wave delta sleep. Once this happens, it's tough to wake up quickly.
