Now that number has dropped down to 5-6 hours. Some days I have no idea how my body is able to keep going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-just-need-less-sleep-after-kids#post-50070 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:12:49 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 50070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I've gotten used to less, but I would be a much sunnier person with an extra couple of hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-just-need-less-sleep-after-kids#post-50037 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:33:17 +0000 Katm558 50037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha - NO!! I think I need more sleep than before; taking care of two little boys is exhausting! But, that being said, I think I can function on less, but it's not pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-just-need-less-sleep-after-kids#post-50029 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:04:43 +0000 Andrea 50029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I need the same ... a lot of sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-just-need-less-sleep-after-kids#post-50025 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:51:13 +0000 runsyellowlites 50025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't need nearly as much sleep these days. It's also been 7 years and 2 of those included a job at the hospital with some un-godly hours. lol</p> <p>I average about 5 hours a night (pre-baby #2), but can function for a few days on literally no sleep..... I wouldn't suggest that to anyone though. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-just-need-less-sleep-after-kids#post-50024 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:49:35 +0000 chopsuey 50024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's amazing how I can function off of a few hours of sleep here and there. LO's sleep has been off lately (I blame 9 month growth spurt and DH's travels) but I can't wait until she's sleeping a straight 12+ hours again. I miss sleeping 10 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-just-need-less-sleep-after-kids#post-50018 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:26:49 +0000 heffalump 50018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I still need just as much sleep. If I don't get my sleep, I get migraines. Thank goodness my husband understands this... if the baby wakes up too early he'll always get her. And then I'll let him take a nap later on in the day. We're a good team. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-just-need-less-sleep-after-kids#post-50016 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:23:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 50016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i told my friend that I was so tired because Olive wasn't sleeping, and she said that her first child, who never slept through the night, prepared her for her second child because she just got used to needing less sleep.</p> <p>i can function on very little sleep. but.... my creativity is completely zapped which is not good when you need to blog every day. </p> <p>i would love a straight 7 hours at night. oh the glory!</p> <p>do you just need less sleep post kids? </p>
