He's 6 months old. I'm going to try to cut out that MOTN feeding soon, though. When that happens, I'll probably just go to bed later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102347 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:14:29 +0000 ValentineMommy 2102347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and sleeps from 8pm-7:30/8am. He used to sleep another 30-60 min cause he went to bed earlier, but has pushed that back a little lately.</p> <p>I typically go to bed at 10-10:30. I get up at 5am on workdays in the office, 6am on days I work at home, and on weekends we usually sleep until DS wakes us up at 8am.</p> <p>I love and need my sleep, so I'm so thankful that DS does too. When he gets tired (for naps too), he says "sleepy. big boy bed" and goes up to sleep lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102325 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:07:30 +0000 travellingbee 2102325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 2 this Saturday and we get about 7-8 hours. He still often wakes up at night but just comes in bed with us and goes right back to sleep so I only wake up for a minute or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102311 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:02:24 +0000 winniebee 2102311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 7-8 but broken up into chunks because my 3m old wakes a few times at night. Last night I got 4.5 hours and then 3.5. That was a great night for me. </p> <p>My almost 3 year old sleeps roughly 11 hours at night and rarely wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102282 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:49:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2102282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 hours, broken up into two chunks because my 1-year old still wakes once at night (screaming).</p> <p>I have an almost 3-year old and a 15-month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102276 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:47:35 +0000 Trailmix 2102276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-7 hours, sometimes broken up, depending on whether DS feels like STTN. It's 50/50 whether I'm up in the middle of the night or not! I'm sorry you're having such a rough go with sleep, as the mom of one bad sleeper and one average sleeper, I feel your pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102271 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:46:25 +0000 blackbird 2102271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E's almost 2 and we consistently get about 8/night. We go to bed at 9 and I'm up around 5. On weekends, I'll sleep in until 6:30 maybe....she is in bed from 7:30-6:30ish, I'd say, and only sometimes wakes up (like last night), then goes back down within a few min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102253 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:41:56 +0000 daniellemybelle 2102253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 16 months and STTN most nights 8-7. I do a lot work after LO goes to bed so I usually only get 5-6 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102206 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:06:16 +0000 Mamasig 2102206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get about 7-8 hours a night. However, I'm woken up a few times by my husband coming from or leaving to work or my kids (2.5 and 10 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102205 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:06:15 +0000 Anagram 2102205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm asleep most nights at 9 and sleep till 5:30 when my alarm goes off, so....8.5 hours? LO still wakes up usually once, but it's a short wakeup.</p> <p>Now that I'm preggo, there have many many nights that I'm in bed around 8. As a former night owl, I never thought I'd be saying that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102202 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:05:01 +0000 SweetiePie 2102202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO (6 months yesterday) sleeps 7:30-7, give or take a half hour. My husband has to get up for work anyway so he lets me sleep till 8 and does first feeding. I go to bed Anywhere between 10 and 12 so I get 8+ hours. I Feel very lucky that my husband is willing to do this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102199 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:02:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2102199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well before these last couple weeks (last month of pregnancy) I was sleeping 8 1/2 hours (go to bed at 10 and wake up at 6:30.) LO is 2 1/2, occasionally she will wake up in the night and usually crawls in with us or goes potty, but it's never more than 5 minute of awake time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102188 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:55:37 +0000 artsyfartsy 2102188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10ish hours right now. When T's sleep is normal (which right now it's not!!!) he STTN. DH gets up at 3am for work, so he goes to bed at least by 9pm if not earlier. I get bored staying up by myself so I just go to bed when he does. If T STTN, he will get up around 7ish and I just let him wake me up. </p> <p>When I go back to work in a couple of weeks I'll have to get up around 5ish though. </p> <p>But T's been sick lately and he now wakes up at 2am and doesnt want to go back to sleep until 5am. Ugh!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102174 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:50:31 +0000 Adira 2102174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-7, though definitely closer to 6. Logan is 3 months and is a great sleeper, so we're lucky. But it's still not enough... Mama is tired waking up at 4:30 every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102165 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:48:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2102165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It used to be about 8 hours a night, but now it's only about 4-5 hours of broken sleep... DD2 just wants to snuggle in the middle of the night while her molars are coming in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102164 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:47:57 +0000 MrsF 2102164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets so much better as they get older!

If you had asked this question one week ago I would have said less than 4 hours. But she's just discovered side and tummy sleeping so I'm up to 5-6. I feel a lot more co he rent and less confused this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102140 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:38:58 +0000 snowjewelz 2102140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prob 5-6 but it's so broken up that it feels like 3-4 sometimes!

It sucks. It's always one thing or another. On some miracle, he does STTN a week at a time and we seriously do that happy/high five dance the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102129 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:34:06 +0000 lawbee11 2102129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7-8. I go to bed around 10:30 and get up at 6 for work. LO sleeps until 7:30. I could go to sleep earlier and get even more, but I enjoy having some down time with DH in the evenings. LO is 19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102122 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:32:13 +0000 tinyperson 2102122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 2 - she sleeps 7-7:30 to 6-7; I go to bed 10ish and get up at 5:45 for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-average-a-night-1#post-2102120 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:29:20 +0000 Meridian 2102120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And how old is your LO?</p> <p>LO is 21 weeks (16 weeks adjusted) These days, we average 5 - 6 hours/night (6 hrs is a good night). That is a recent increase in the last 2 weeks or so... it was previously 4 - 5 hours a night. It still doesn't feel like enough, *sigh* </p>
