Hellobee Boards

My 20 month old woke up at 445 am today so no lol. She seems to always wake up earlier on weekends than during the week. It's very unfortunate! We bring her in bed and put on Mickey and she will lay there and snuggle while we doze.

Definitely not.

The big kid is a good sleeper but the little guy was up at 3:45 and then up for the day at 5:30.

They wake between 8-9 so sort of!

Depends on your definition of sleeping in. During the week I get my 3 yr old up at 7:30 and send her to school. I usually go back to sleep til 10:30-11.

My 3 yr old wakes me up at 8:30 on her days off.

Ds1 woke at 8 today. (He's usually up at 7/730)
Ds2 woke at 7 today. (He's usually up at 7/730)

This thread makes me...not happy, haha. Thinking of how many more years I don't get to sleep in. And then when they want to sleep in we can't because of whatever reason, school or work during weekdays or weekend practice, games, etc... Ah....

Well yes sort of. He falls asleep so late that on the weekends he'll happily sleep until 8. I usually wake before then anyway.

Everyone in our house was still asleep at 7 am this morning! I honestly can't remember the last time that happened!

3 y.o. DD is usually up before 6 but has been sleeping a little later as the days get shorter, and 3 m.o. DS usually is up around 7. He slept until 7:40! We did have a late night at zoo trick or treat but that doesn't usually translate to later sleep.

He's always up between 6:30-7:30. He woke at 7:35 today.

Yes! I have to get them both up at 8 on weekdays but I let them sleep as long as they want on weekends which is usually to 9 or 9:30. Unlike DH, I can't really take advantage of it - I'm wide awake by 6:30, just like weekdays. So, while everyone else sleeps, I usually go for a run and take a long shower in peace!

We don't have a real "up for the day" time yet, though I think we're close. So I can always get her to go back to sleep with me after a wake up. But for now, on weekends I take the wake up that's around 4-6, go back to bed, and DH takes her once she wakes again. He sometimes puts her back down, but he's a morning person so he usually is just up at that point.

Weekends don't make much of a difference- but sometimes she will surprise us and sleep until 7:30 or even closer to 8 (rarely). Dh doesn't have to leave super early for work and I stay home, so when she "sleeps in" we can usually enjoy it.

This morning I slept until 7:30 and thoroughly enjoyed it. However she was up at 7 but Dh was in bed with her after a motn nightmare so he was awake.

@regberadaisy: my kids are usually good sleepers. DD goes to school at 8am. DS will sleep til 10:30. DD gets off the bus at noon. We all nap at 1-3:30. Then bed between 7:30 and 9. It depends on how they are acting and how tired I am.

Sometimes. He's usually awake by 7, but very rarely he'll sleep until 7:30. If I've had a really long week and really need the sleep, I'll let him watch a show so I can score another hour!! (Don't judge me).

He will come into my bed some mornings, so I can sleep a little later that way too.

Sometimes! DS tends to have a super short nap when DH or I are home with him (meanwhile he naps for 3+ hours for anyone else watching him) and that sometimes means he will sleep in until 6:30/7 the next day. I consider that sleeping in since his regular wake up time is 5am!

My kids only sleep in Mon-Fri, come the weekend they are up at the crack of dawn

Nope, he wakes up at the same time every day. We got him a red light clock thing, but he's still not waking up to use the bathroom at night, and I totally understand him not wanting ot sit in a dirty diaper. If we're lucky he'll wake up the first time at 5-5:30, one of us can change him and coax him back to bed until 6:45-7.

Fortunately for my sleep, my mom lives with us, and is an early bird. She's downstairs waiting for him by 6:15, so we usually just change his diaper, brush his teeth and he goes downstairs for "Oma-time", and D and I can go back to sleep for a little while longer.

For the past few weeks, LO has been sleeping 12 hours from when she goes to bed. So, if she goes to bed at 9:30pm she sleeps until 9:30am. She used to wake up at about 7:30am no matter what.

Since we've had family visiting off and on, we've let her stay up later and thankfully we are able to sleep later too. It's been nice! But I think we need to get back to our regular schedule.

@Mrs. Pen: yessss He goes to bed around 8pm but we've tried a later bed time and it doesn't make a difference! Booo.
