One of the things that has helped me cope with little sleep is just accepting that it is hard and giving myself a lot of grace with my productivity the next day.
YES. It is so hard for me to feel “unproductive” as well! And yes it’s difficult to remember that what we feel is unproductive is sometimes the most productive we can be. Whether it be resting our bodies, snuggling, sitting with Jesus, accepting help. Such a challenge for me to set aside the checklist type of productivity.
I'm reading this after the recent time change, and I find myself in a cycle of sleepness nights. My body hasn't readjusted to what it is suppose to be doing. (Isn't that amazing how our bodies respond to even one hour changes?) With that being said, I really resonate with your words, "He may not remove my worries, but He strengthens in the sleepful and sleepless nights." I am clinging to His strength today, as I do what @AlyPrades suggests and give myself (and others) extra grace today.

Love that! Yes, it's hard for me to feel "unproductive" but I'm reminding myself that rest is very productive!

Yes, I can totally relate with each of those examples!

I agree! The time change is difficult, but it's an opportunity to give extra grace! (:
