Mothers Don’t Sleep. They Are Always On The Alert
Mothers do not sleep because, as soon as they give birth, wakefulness becomes the protagonist of their state of consciousness. Even going over the much needed sleep. The neurocognitive functions of women who become mothers are fully active at all times, even when their eyes are closed and at rest.
It’s really unique what happens to mothers. These people considered “fragile” for some, but who have at heart, courage and resistance like no one else.
Why do they say mothers don’t sleep?
They say mothers don’t sleep because it’s true. Otherwise, no one would dare make a statement that goes so against human nature. However, lack of sleep can be harmful if we consider that it is a physiological state of animals. Well, the body needs sleep to be able to recover.
It would then be necessary to investigate how it is possible that this can happen to mothers (metaphorically speaking). When a woman becomes a mother, she immediately develops a capacity that allows her to rest without the need to completely disconnect from the world around her. A world that, after childbirth, is concentrated in the crib that is next to your bed every night.
There are no movements, moans, or breathing from the child that she doesn’t feel and that won’t bring her back to full consciousness even if she’s just gone to sleep.
Mothers have the gift of listening and understanding their baby more than anyone else. They know what he needs without even having to look, even with the dark room and the closed eyes that rest in tireless vigil.
Why do they say mothers are always on the alert?
They say mothers are always on the alert because it’s also true. They are always prepared to deal with both eventualities and everyday situations. For example:
- When the baby is hungry and wants to breastfeed.
- When the baby cries because he woke up alone and needs the mother to put him to sleep again.
- Whenever the child wants to get out of the crib to be in your arms.
- When you cry because you have colic
- Whenever you need to change your diaper
- When you feel bad after receiving a vaccine
A mother is always there when her baby needs her. She knows the way that pleases you the most. Therefore, it is with her that he feels most comfortable and safe.
For mothers, there are no inconvenient times. If the child needs attention, even at two in the morning, he or she promptly gets up to help.
Mothers don’t sleep. they are always alert
Mothers don’t sleep, they are always alert. Whether it’s because it’s easy for them, because it’s natural or something that comes from within. They don’t sleep even though they’re exhausted to the point of passing out, so stressed they can barely think, or still feeling melancholy.
Perhaps their days have changed a lot, and the life they have today is perhaps very different from what they had before. So sometimes they cry and feel sad.
You simply smile and recover to the point where you come out of depression to feel fuller joy.
Women have this gift, which arises as soon as they know maternal love. When they hear their child crying, the mumbling, babbling and laughing.
They cry, yes. And they get depressed too. They tire like no one else, but they remain steadfast and feel happy for the grace of having given birth to a child, a human being who is theirs and, therefore, it is their responsibility and duty to take care of him.
Mothers are special beings, endowed with colossal strength, who can go one, two, three years or a lifetime without sleep and yet manage to remain as beautiful, loving and motherly as only they can be.
Mom, life thanks you for your courage, perseverance, patience and all the sacrifice you make every day: day or night, putting your child’s well-being above your own vital aspirations and needs.
