I am a SAHM/PT nanny (only 2x a week), so I have the flexibility to nap myself (though I never do),but even if I don't nap I still have easy days at home. I don't need much brainpower/energy for stuff :) But I REALLY enjoy the time to myself during the day. like I said earlier, adjustment from 2 to 3 (people) has been hard, so I enjoy the breaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192913 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 11:41:45 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 192913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't yet have my son so take my opinion with a grain of salt...<br /> But I am the type of person who has SUPER choppy nighttime sleep and I'm up a lot and a very light sleeper too, so anything gets me up. That being said: I don't think having the LO will be all that terrible for me because I am used to not getting good night's sleep.<br /> What I love are my naps! I have learned to be dependent on naps, sadly. So, if he sleeps some at night but mostly during the day--i'll be a happy camper. Of course at some point i'd worry if he didn't sleep through the night as well but that's later down the road.<br /> I get better sleep in spurts and have never really had a 9-hour night since high school anyways.<br /> *I plan to be a sahm so that makes a big difference too. I can imagine if I worked--omg. Yeah i'd want that sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192858 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 09:22:46 +0000 Sammyfab 192858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10000000000%, hands-down, a better night sleeper! Not only is it better for the parents, but better for the baby too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192828 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 08:12:58 +0000 looch 192828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to have a good nightsleeper, my son's not a champion napper by any means, but if he'd just sleep at night, we'd be much better over here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192809 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 06:27:11 +0000 Andrea 192809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, yeah no contest, night sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192802 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 06:01:40 +0000 chopsuey 192802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love how everyone voted for night sleeper! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192782 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 00:35:38 +0000 Sweet T 192782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd rather have a great night sleeper. I feel like I'm more prepared to deal with nap issues if I'm well rested from the night before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192778 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 00:28:20 +0000 skibobrown 192778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is a great night sleeper, but a terrible napper. I get pretty annoyed that I can't count on long stretches of sleep during the day when I can get things done... but I am so thankful for my sleep at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192757 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 23:24:58 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 192757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you can deal with all kinds of nap issues with more patience if you've slept that night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192753 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 23:05:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 192753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: Yeah that's where I am right now. One kid, so I totally love/need my time, it's been so hard adjusting from just us two to three!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192738 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:41:12 +0000 HLK208 192738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say a better night sleep. I can't really take naps when baby does. When I only had one kiddo, the long naps sometimes saved me though--I needed to be myself just for an hour or two sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192735 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:30:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 192735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A better night sleeper for sure......my little one sleeps ALL day!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192667 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 20:45:18 +0000 sorrycharlie 192667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will prefer a nightsleeper..I can't nap during the day anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192659 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 20:26:13 +0000 duckduckkristen 192659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need my sleep at night, so I'd much rather have a baby who sleeps through the night but doesn't nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-good-nightsleeper-or-napper#post-192647 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 19:44:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 192647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a GREAT napper (3 consistent naps a day, each 1.5-2.5 hours long!), but an awful sleeper (varies between 2-4 hr stretches).</p> <p>I'm not sure though, I would love his night sleep to be better - but I so appreciate having those 3-4 hours to myself during the day too!! </p>
