i've been going to bed really late (past midnight) due to busy nights of errands and my mind running a million miles a minute with purchasing an investment home, renovating our basement, and a new activity/class schedule for DS. (on top of the regular work schedule!)...
and then my regular GREAT sleeper is going through the tail end of a wonder week(s) and decided to wake up at 5am yesterday...
i've been downing coffee every am this wk.
how's your sleep these days?

Well, we have two sick parents (bronchitis) and a sick and/or teething 15 month old. It ain't so great right now.

I didn't realize how early pregnancy affected your sleep! I am usually a back sleeper, but that's out the window now. Sadness. I'm re-learning how to sleep on my side, and I'm not loving it. But last night, I slept well!

I go to bed really early, so I front load on sleep. I got into the habit when my son was a newborn, so I can function on what sleep I do get. I usually have a nightwaking that ranges in falling asleep immediately to staring at the cieling for 2 hours.

Awful!!! And I can't blame the baby because she's sleeping great. It's me - I can't seem to switch off!

It's been better than it was! Been getting to sleep about 2 instead of 4 or 5 so that alone is way better! P has been waking more than usually & not just to nurse but also to fuss so that isn't my favorite... I'm pretty sure it's her teeth though so it should pass soon, I hope! lol

Crap. But what's new? lol We had a good stretch of good sleep from him for about a month (which still wasn't awesome, just waking up less and going back to sleep easy), but now it's getting worse again. I think he's starting to teethe again. ugh! He's got a runny nose and drooling a waterfall from his mouth.
Sorry you're not sleeping well! I hope things improve soon.

2 weeks ago when I turned 18 weeks I hit the uncomfortable part of pregnancy. I toss and turn all night. Nothing helps. I sleep from 9pm to 6am, but I'm probably only asleep for about 5 hours total.
I come home and nap for a couple of hours after work so I'm still feeling pretty functional!

@LovelyPlum: Ditto! I hate side sleeping. For a while I just said "f@&$ it...I need sleep!" and slept on my back anyway...but now my back aches when I do so I had to stop.

Great! She popped out four teeth last month and is finally back to normal. Crazy how much her sleep affects my own, if she wakes up at night I end up unable to fall back asleep even after she's out.

Crap. DS gets up 6 or 8 times a night and I WOH in a crazy busy metropolitan hospital. Coffee, please!

Well, last night was a good night and there were wakings at 12:45, 1:30 and 4:00 am...so, yeah, sleep around these parts is a hot commodity I wish there was more of!
eggplant / 11408 posts
@Danizaur: yeah, about that...I'm getting more used to it, but it's hard. My hips always ache, so I have to go between which side feels better. And I know it's going to get worse. Oy.
@oliviaoblivia: I'm so glad that it's back to normal! What a relief

I don't want to say for fear it will jinx us and the teething gods will come back with a vengeance.

@LovelyPlum: Waking up from another terrible night this morning all grumpy...I just pictured myself at 30 weeks and trying to sleep. Ugh!

Not so great. I blame my big belly, increased trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and general insomnia. For the past week LO has been waking up an hour earlier than usual, which is no fun for this mama.
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
Both kids are STTN (12+ hours), and I'm getting a solid 6-7 hours. I need to sleep earlier!!!

@LovelyPlum: You know, my midwife always told me that the position I slept in was really not something I needed to stress about. She said when it was early on it was just important that I slept, and sleeping on my back wouldn't hurt anything, that when I hit a point where it might possibly hurt the baby I'd really not be able to sleep on my back, and that even then, I would wake up uncomfortable and wanting to switch positions LONG before it cut off any circulation.
I was a stomach sleeper for years before I got pregnant, and pretty much as soon as I got that BFP I couldn't sleep on my stomach anymore (because it made me vomit-y) and I could only get comfortable on my back. Somewhere later in the second trimester that got uncomfortable, and I naturally went onto my side.
My sleep is starting to get better. E is back down to waking up 1-2 times a night instead of 4-5-6, so that's been nice. Last night he was up for an hour, though, 3 or so hours before his normal wake-up. Might not be so bad, but I'm at a point where I have trouble sleeping even if E isn't keeping me up...stress, discomfort, can't shut my brain down, so I'm still averaging 4-5 hours a night most nights.

LO has decided to wake up at 2am, nurse and then play/grouch at me for forty five minutes every night this week. I feel like I haven't slept in a century.

Got my first 6-hour stretch last night in weeks. (vs 4-5).. so not so good.

It comes in waves but right now, sleep is great! Both kids are STTN and my DH and I are getting 7-8 hours of sleep. We've been "sleep training" my daughter (well, MY version of sleep training. haha) and it's been going well. She's been sleeping from 8p-7am for a month now. CROSSING MY FINGERS! Great, now that I put it out there, she's probably going to wake up 5 times tonight.

Not good. I'm due next month (!!!!!) and baby's head is down- right on top of my bladder. I get up to go to the bathroom 4-5 times per night. Sooo my sleep is really broken up. And then my little guy refuses to sleep past 6 so I've been feeling zombie-like lately.

Sleep has been fine for me. LO had a really rough night this weekend but my MIL was visiting and she always volunteers for night duty.

My sleep is crap. Everyone else's seems ok. I didn't fall asleep until after 330 am but I was sick yesterday and napped a lot so hopefully I sleep tonight!

@lovehoneybee: mmmm...this is good to know. Sometimes I do sleep on my back, but then I get paranoid. If I could, though...this opens a whole world of sleep that sounds delicious!
