I need more sleep to function so I usually sleep earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-15601 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:48:00 +0000 heffalump 15601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby sleeps in now, and I'm always getting up early with the baby. Kind of pisses me off because I can't just call my boss and sat I'm coming in late! But I do have to hand it to him, when our lo was still waking up in the middle of the night he was always up with her. I get migraines if I don't get my sleep, so he was so helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-15597 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:44:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 15597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always gotten up more way more than the hubs. I have to wake him up if it's his turn and then I'm already awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-15590 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:27:42 +0000 Navy_Mommy 15590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely do. DH can operate on a few hours of sleep no problem, and does regularly because he'll stay up to watch cartoons, play his guitar (in the garage), play video games - basically anything that he wouldn't do with me around. Once the baby gets here and I'm breastfeeding, that'll change for a while...and it'll be a seriously miserable period of time (for me at least). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-15516 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:30:44 +0000 StbHisMrs 15516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband gets way more, but I'm a light sleeper anyways. Also he needs to get more sleep, I'd feel uncomfortable with him going to work being that he's a train engineer/conductor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9619 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:59:07 +0000 sandsandmore 9619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before the baby STTN, it was hubby. Now it's me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9618 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:58:59 +0000 reggie 9618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely sleep far more than my husband. He takes care of the nighttime feedings... though Eli hasn't been getting up for his feeding until 5 - 6am this week. I also go to bed way earlier than he does. He stays up usually 30 min - an hour longer than I do so he can do some cleaning around the house.. in my defense.. I need my sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9590 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:41:05 +0000 L2sweetpea 9590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband definitely sleeps more, but that's primarily due to me needing to wake up to feed/pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9540 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:37:49 +0000 mamabolt 9540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre baby, I think he sleeps more. We get in bed around the same time and I fall asleep right away. He'll watch TV for a while. But I get up at least 2 hours before him during the week. And on the weekends he will sleep until 10 or 11 if I let him. I am up by 8 usually. So unless he is staying up till 3 or 4 am watching TV, I say he wins. He's going to lose some of that sleep time when the baby is here though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9535 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:33:48 +0000 cyndistar3 9535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I sleep more. When this baby is born I will proably sleep less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9531 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:31:54 +0000 yin 9531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Husband definitely sleeps more because he needs his rest to function at work. I get some extra hours of sleep on the weekends when he has night duty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9372 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 05:05:26 +0000 loveisstrange 9372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With his job, the husband sleeps less. If we were both unemployed and had a level playing field, he would sleep WAY more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9371 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 04:45:29 +0000 looch 9371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband sleeps better, let's put it that way. We both go to bed at the same time, but he can fall asleep faster and deeper than I can. He can also fall back asleep faster when dealing with nightwakings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9303 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:10:17 +0000 Killer b 9303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from home with a super flexible schedule, and the hubs works 10 hour shifts at a chemical plant as a high voltage technician. There are warning signs everywhere with evil cloud faces with giant lightning bolts stabbing screaming stick men. No joke. Can you guess who gets night duty 99.9% of the time? Yeah, me. While it kind of sucks, I do breastfeed, and he needs to have his wits about him at work. If you ever saw that news story about the guy who got the first face transplant because he fell into a transformer, that's the stuff my husband does. I have had 4 nights off though. They were glorious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9224 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:21:28 +0000 chopsuey 9224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep about the same amount since I like napping during the day :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9223 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:20:30 +0000 MegWag 9223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennylynn Ditto. Like exactly word for word what you said! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9215 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:12:17 +0000 jennylynn 9215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, I sleep way more. But the baby isn't here yet....I'd say once she gets here, it'll even out some. He only needs 6 or so hours a night, but I seriously need 8-10. I'm going to be a zombie those first couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-sleeps-more-mommy-or-daddy-aka-which-partner-sleeps-more#post-9204 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:59:36 +0000 mrbee 9204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who gets more sleep at night: you or your SO?</p> <p>I definitely sleep way more than Mrs. Bee at night. It's not even close. In my defense, I need more sleep than her. However even taking that into account, I sleep through the night whereas she has to wake up to pump and breastfeed.</p> <p>I used to wake up early when Charlie was waking up around 4 or 5 am. But lately he's been sleeping in, and so I've been able to sleep a bit more. I actually wish he would wake up earlier, because I felt I was contributing more to the family when he was waking up earlier. But I know better than to complain about something so wonderful as a child sleeping in in the morning.</p> <p>Who sleeps more at night: you or your partner? </p>
