No, I prefer to be totally on edge for the whole time to be early and then be very exhausted.

Usually after a meltdown I need to recover by laying with my eyes closed. Not sleeping, just not interacting with the environment at all. I'll do it for over a day sometimes.

With age there comes certain changes that make you no longer do that... It won't get better but getting up is preferable to laying in a puddle.

I do this until it’s time to prep/drop the kids
