For the love of sleeping...

... how long does this "I'm teething and therefore NEVER tired" phase last? My 7 month old is teething, and last night was up every hour on the hour, and is currently still awake (and has been for 8 hours). 

She's not tired at all. I mean, obviously she should be, but is up, playing, talking, and will NOT go down for anything. I've given her teething tablets, which help, as she screams without them, but she will not sleep. We're still doing the same night time routine, and have not sleep issues other than this.

She's gotten about 9 hours of sleep TOPS per 24 hour period for the past 3 days with the longest stretch being 2 hours. This mama is TIRED AS HELL. 

I know this won't last forever... but how much longer??

Have you tried Orajel? DS was waking up from teething every hour too, and I was about to lose my mind. My mom recommended Orajel, and he's now going 4-7 hours between waking up.
