Parenting Pointers: Getting By on Little Sleep

If you have a late night, it's easy to feel like you're dragging the next day. Relying on caffeine too much can create other issues, such as dependence or difficulty falling asleep the next day. While there's nothing wrong with a cup of coffee to get you going, if you need more than that, try these other tips.
- Splash your face with cold water.
- Make sure to eat healthy foods. Stay away from large meals which take extra energy to digest, but include light protein sources and fresh fruit and veggies.
- Try a few minutes of stretching, yoga, or light exercise to get blood circulating.
- Drink cold water throughout the day.
- Chew mint gum.
- Sing along with the radio.
