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.
i can function on very little sleep. but.... my creativity is completely zapped which is not good when you need to blog every day.
i would love a straight 7 hours at night. oh the glory!
do you just need less sleep post kids?

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.

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!

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
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

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.

I feel like I've gotten used to less, but I would be a much sunnier person with an extra couple of hours!

Before I had to have my 8 hours of sleep every night to properly function. Now that number has dropped down to 5-6 hours. Some days I have no idea how my body is able to keep going.

i still need a lot! during the first 3 months i thought maybe i had changed bc i was functioning on very little sleep, but looking back i was pretty much a crazy hormonal zombie during this time. luckily he is a good sleeper so now i'm able to get a decent amount during the week plus one nap on the weekends so i feel ok!
