When you’re a tired mom, most of your fantasies include sleep.

Being a mom has ushered in a whole new meaning to the word “tired.” Here are some signs you’re mom-level tired:

  • You’ve tried to make coffee without the filter, without the pot, and/or without the actual coffee.
  • When you hear people say they’ve “overslept,” your eyes roll back so hard, you can see your tailbone.
  • You don’t even remember what getting 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep feels like.

Here are some must-haves for any moms who desperately miss sleeping:

1. “Super Tired” Mug

Don’t forget that we’re all working a minimum of 14-hour days with small kids. There’s a reason we’re tired.

But I’ve heard that on the other side of the trenches, it gets a little easier. We just have to cope with the sleep deprivation until then.
