Working moms, any tips on dealing with sleep deprivation?

Ah, the joys of motherhood. Women are expected to do it all, right? And guess what goes first? Our sleep. I was wondering how you ladies deal with this. I would also like to share a secret of my own. When I am especially tired, and I must get up and go, I'll fill my basin with ice water, put a snorkel in my mouth(no joke), and dunk my face into the water for as long as I can. I know it sounds silly, but man, it works! You'll look like you're 20 years old again. Any more tips? I am especially interested in make-up tricks. Thanks.

Update:

Lol! I really know what you mean about feeling tired, but I've found that it's also really good to take your vitamins, and eat a good breakfast.

    hehe Sleep...a distant memory....

    Anyway! I've found that the cucumber slices on the eyes workwell. I put them in the freezer for about an hour or so, while I take a shower, and place on my eyes for as long as I can.

    Moisturize! I use a lavendar oil infuzed moisturizer. It makes my skin look beautiful. And I don't put on too much makeup. That only makes things worse!

    My daughter is 16 months and I still haven't slept thru the night yet. I just try to take naps on the weekends when she naps to get caught up on sleep. If I'm really tired, my hubby will put her to bed and let me go to bed early, or take a nap after work.

    I can see how the ice water helps. I know back in my younger days when I was a little hungover, a cool shower, or a swim in a cold pool would always make me feel better. I think it's also good for dark circles under your eyes. I just use extra concealer under my eyes.

    I drink alot of coffee at work. Makeup wise I like to mix my foundation with a cool (temp) moisturizer, it feels good going on a gives you a nice glow without looking heavy.
