I can be ratty, however much sleep I've had lol

I have a little one so I am up at least twice a night so have broken sleep.....not sure it affects my weight losses ??

I have always been a bad sleeper i only have between 5-6 hours a night at the most and ive lost weight every week this year (hopefully not this week now im at target haha) i was going to bed between 12-1:30am and up at 6am. I think my problem is i find it hard to clear my mind of everything before bed and always have about 2-3 things on my mind at any one time.

At the minute i am trying to make sure i am in bed for 10-10:30pm and up at 5:40am to exercise. I still find it hard to nod off though and can lay in bed for a couple of hours before nodding off and i wake up a few times during the night also. It does seem to be getting slightly better although i could with learning some techniques to clear my mind before bed.

My problem is I cant get enough sleep! I go to bed around 11pm, fall asleep straight away and wake at 7.40am on weekdays and I would still be tired at work!

On the wknds I could easily sleep for 9 - 12 hours and I would still be tired and ready for sleep at the normal bed time.

Ive been to the doctor but everything is fine, she says I just need loads of sleep to function! When im on plan 100% I could lose between 2-4lbs a week so maybe sleep does help my weight loss?
