A sad story (aka sleep irony)

ksulli

DD2 doesn't sleep for sh*t. 13 mos old today and has slept through the night maybe a dozen times. Probably not even. Last night was one of those few, glorious nights. But the sleep gods were not smiling on my household.

The 3yo has a clock in her room (and knows she needs to stay in bed until a 6 & a 3 are on the clock, win!!), and the baby loves it. She must have had a successful attack because last night the alarm went of at midnight. Scared the crap out of my 3yo, so I hear the alarm & my screaming child through the monitor and take of sprinting down the hall before realizing what exactly the other noise was. No big deal, she goes back to sleep.

But I then was wide awake with adrenaline. And wake up at 4:45 to pee. The alarm goes off at 5:30 for us to start our day. So yeah, baby slept ~12 hours. And I slept ~5. Fail.

Anybody want to commiserate?

Ugh! The worst. I'm so sorry! We actually had a night where LO slept from 7-530 and I made it to bed at 10. Almost 7.5 hours of sleep for me and I feel like a new woman. Most nights I get 4-5 (bed at 11 or 11:30, LO wakes at 3:30-4:30) and then another couple as LO dozes/nurses in bed. I hope your LO sleeps through again tonight and doesn't hack the alarm. may we all get better and more consistent sleep.

That sounds terrible! Hoping for better sleep for you tonight.

Oh no, that's rough! Hopefully you get more sleep soon!

I can commiserate on a slightly different level; I haven't been feeling well and for some reason wake up every two hours or so. This morning I woke up, couldn't get back to sleep, so I had a shower and then crawled back into bed for another hour and a half. I need a good solid block!

Thankful for our tubes, we've been sleeping as soundly as we were at 8 months (which is all night).

This kid can sleep.  Daycare is always stupified when I tell them he sleeps 2 to 2.5 hours at each nap time every day.  He only sleeps 30 -40 minutes each time for them, if that.
