If she's sick then she needs all the rest she can get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2327087 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 12:05:18 +0000 littlejoy 2327087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Well, she ended up in our room at 11 ... was awake for probably 45 minutes. But yeah, it was mostly "restful". :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2327081 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 12:04:01 +0000 youboots 2327081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: glad you got some rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2327078 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 12:02:47 +0000 littlejoy 2327078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up letting her sleep (napped until 5:30) ... Then she slept again from 8:30 - 9:00. She obviously needed that rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326331 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:01:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2326331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never ever wake them up - ESPECIALLY if they're sick! My son has taken 4+ hour naps in the past when he's sick and his tired little body needs it to recuperate! Typically his night sleep was off anyway just from the general discomfort of feeling gross and hot from a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326329 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:59:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 2326329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let him sleep as much as he wants. If he wakes up he might stay awake a bit later but when he's really sick he sleeps a lot, so I don't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326309 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:47:56 +0000 littlejoy 2326309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks!! Yeah, since she's staying home tomorrow, I think we'll let her sleep this nap through, then just stay up until we go to bed. If she got any good sleep in our bed, I'd let her sleep with me, but we all sleep better when she's in her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326268 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:32:48 +0000 ShootingStar 2326268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd let her sleep. Maybe push bedtime back a little if she seems too awake later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326261 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:29:33 +0000 autumnlove 2326261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wake them up. Hope she feels better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326260 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:28:51 +0000 MrsH 2326260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let the poor kiddo sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326244 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:20:44 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2326244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wake her! </p> <p>But. My son sleeps so bad at night when he is sick (he's sick right now and sleeping terribly) I wouldn't want to risk making it worse. My friends daughter on the other hand sleeps way more when sick and had more naps and longer night sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-while-sick#post-2326239 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:18:39 +0000 littlejoy 2326239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When your LO is sick, what do you do for sleeping? </p> <p>LO (22 months) has a fever &amp; runny nose today. :(</p> <p>She took an hour long nap on me earlier, and is currently on hour 2 of another nap (it's 4:15 pm, here). Usually, she's up at 3:00 from nap. </p> <p>Should I wake her up, or let her keep sleeping?! I don't want to wreck her sleep tonight, but if she's getting any relief right now, I don't want to wake her. Catch 22? </p>
