BF'ing + Sleeping longer = ouch!

Now that my LOs are sleeping for a longer stretch when we put them down at night (about 6 hours), I'm waking up to feed them with WICKED painful boobs.  I really don't want to set my alarm in the middle of their 6 hour stretch to pump...so what do I do? 

I've been pumping before I go to bed, which is about an hour and a half after they go down...but it's not helping.  Will the boobs ever adjust?  Last night was so bad, I woke up about 5 hours after they went down and my boobs were literally SPRAYING milk.  MH thought it was hilarious.  Me, not so much!

Help!

    your body will get used to it and adjust.

    I EP'd and never once pumped in the middle of the night-  my body was used to it... I was pretty engorged when i woke up - but nothing horrible that i couldn't handle.

    you will definitely adjust, when the boys dropped the 2am feeding at 5am I was so engorged but now they've adjusted...I think it took a few days- a week.
