Do you ever get to sleep in?

little_mrs · May 2010

I have maybe once or twice in the past 2 years.

DH and I try to take turns on the weekends.

sugarplumwife · May 2010

Very rarely. However I actually don't like to. I feel like the day is gone before I ever have a chance to enjoy it.

I would prefer to be able to go to bed early.

This, but to both of us, "sleeping in" means getting up around 8:30. DH is a morning person, and likes to be up, and I just can't sleep once I hear DD up, even if he's up with her. When it's my turn to sleep in, they usually get up around 7:30 or 8:00, and I stay in bed for an extra 30 minutes reading or resting.

Only if my mother in law is in town, or my mom has DS. I have asked DH to let me sleep in, but he "never hears DS" when he wakes up.

Mc_Newlywed · May 2010

Nope. But even if he agrees to get up with her, I hear her over the monitor and it wakes me up anyway. Sometimes he'll go get her and take her downstairs and I can lounge around for a few more minutes but it's never very long.

I consider sleeping in any time she sleeps past 6:30. 7am feels like noon to me!

Stacyc625 · May 2010

probably as much as you- but for me its not a super big deal. so i really dont mind.

momoftwinsplusone · May 2010

rarely ever....I have to be super sick to get a chance for that!

gumiberg · May 2010

never. i breastfeed.

but i am a morning person anyway - its 538 am and I am awake while my babies still sleep. i cant remember the last time i slept in until 6! (although dont get me wrong, i am insanely jealous of people who can because i imagine it must feel really good).

taylormillgirl · May 2010

I'm very lucky. DH can't sleep past 7-ish in the morning; for whatever reason, he'll wake up and lie there unable to get back to sleep. So when the boys wake up on the weekends, he gets up with them and lets me sleep in.

Oh, and I should add that sleeping in means until 8:30 or 9:00. Still, that's pretty fantastic!

GeminA1 · May 2010

Saturday is my sleep in day. I am still up by 7:30.....but that's way better than 6 or earlier!

lwrigley2000 · May 2010

No. The monitor is on my side of the bed and I hear DS over it before DH does. Even if DH gets up to get DS, I'll go make a bottle for them.

I'd rather get the chance to lay down and take a nap during the day then sleep in anyway!

teach2183 · May 2010

I wake up no matter what at 6/6:30 every day. If I could sleep later, we would take turns on the weekend.

lucylea · May 2010

DH and I used to alternate Saturdays as to who got to sleep in, but lately we have had so much going on that neither of us can sleep in. I'm very much looking forward to summer and camping since my mom loves to sneak over to our tent and take DD early in the morning and then we can sleep in!

Sweets2005 · May 2010

Ha! Sleep in? What is THAT?

DH let me sleep in on Mother's Day and a couple other times when I really needed it (and vice versa). But our twins have just now gotten a lot easier to feed at the same time so before we always got up together because it was too hard to feed them at the same time.

But I did get to sleep in today! I owe DH big time! DS woke up crying at 6am (for the 2nd day in a row!) so DH tried to put him in the bassinet, since sleeping with us wasn't working, and he fell back asleep for 2 hours!!!

rebeccaontherocks · May 2010

No. My DH did let me on mothers day though.

Kim&Jim · May 2010

Rarely, but it's been known to happen. Of course, I used to be someone who would sleep until 10 or 10:30 on Saturday mornings so I know how to sleep in! The boys usually are ready to get out of bed at 8 so that's still not too early. Some days I get up earlier and shower; others I just get up with them. Last week, they slept in until 10 so I did as well!! Thankfully it wasn't a day that I got up early to shower.

ash2 · May 2010

Up until a month ago when DS was born, DH and I took turns on the weekend. He would sleep in Saturday and I would sleep in Sunday. But since I had DS, DH gets up with DD at about 7:30 and lets me sleep since I get up with DS at night. On our sleep in days we used to sleep until 9:30 or 10. We definitely like sleep in this house!

PearlieGirl'sMom · May 2010

What is sleeping in? Once in a blue, blue moon (and that happened to be Sunday) but even then, usually I get up at 8.

safy · May 2010

I do get to sleep in now that my kids are a little older. Weekends I sleep in till 11am ish. Weekdays, I get up between 8-10am depending if it's a school day or not.

dionnemd10 · May 2010

we alternate weekends-or i get saturday, he'll get sunday! and sleeping in means past 7:30am!!!

ha amazing how the definition changes

cactus5 · May 2010

I don't sleep in very often. Even if my husband gets up with my son, I have a hard time sleeping once I hear them.

I do nap on the weekends when my husband is home.

Temp174496125006552 · May 2010

DH and I alternate days getting up with Ben. Ben stopped STTN 10 months ago and we have a 16 yo with sleeping issues who can never seem to drag her butt out of bed in time to catch the bus. That means that I either have to drive her, or watch Ben while DH runs her over to school. DH and I don't sleep in the same bed because he snores like a bear. So on his nights to get up with Ben, I sleep downstairs on the couch and, in theory, I should be able to sleep in a little later. But all the morning noises (Jordan getting ready for school, Ben screaming/crying for whatever reason, DH walking in the hallway to go to the bathroom, etc.) wake me up, so it never happens.

I have never been so sleep deprived in all of my life.

jnksmom · May 2010

Not very often. However, DS and DD sleep til 7:30 or 8 and I get up when they do so I don't have to get up too early. When I worked I got up at 5:30 so 7:30 or 8 feels great to me!!!

Daisy77 · May 2010

Yep. My little ones sleep pretty late (8:30-9am) and I usually stay up to hang with DH for a bit after he gets home. Looking forward to him getting back to normal hours, I like being up early and enjoying daylight peace and quiet:)

la79al · May 2010

When we moved DD to her new room, she started waking up by 6:30 so now her 8 am is just like sleeping in.

DevonPow · May 2010

DH sleeps in on Saturdays, and I sleep in on Sundays (usually until 8:30 or 9 - DS gets up at 7)

Also, we have taken several vacations without DS and have slept in during those, but still not past 9 at the latest. My body clock has asjusted to a much earlier wake up time.

Notwifezilla7 · May 2010

Before dd2, we would rotate the weekends to sleep past 8:30. Now since I EBF, no sleeping in for a while

detroitblondie · May 2010

Only when we go visit my Mom & Dad. Then I usually get up with my son and as soon as she's up (usually right around the same time) I get to go back to bed. Oh, & for three mornings in a row a few weeks ago my son slept in until 9 (why, I have no idea he's usually up by 7) so I got to sleep in too. That was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice!

KL777 · May 2010

Yes, at least once a week on the weekends.

babybird7 · May 2010

Nope. Never and I miss it.

rissainthesky* · May 2010

only if we are at my ILs on the weekend, my MIL will take her.
During the week, no. E is up at 6 and doesnt take a nap until 10 or 11.

rebus82 · May 2010

Yes, I am beyond spoiled. I sleep in until noon almost every day (that's when B gets up most days) and DH takes care of him every weekend so I get to sleep in, which means 2PM sometimes. I LOVE sleep. It is my one true hedonistic pleasure; I could sleep 16 hours a day if I didn't have a tiny person to take care of.

ETA: I should probably note that B doesn't go to bed until at least 10:30PM, and I don't go to sleep until nearly 3AM most nights (night owl + insomnia). Still a lot of sleep, but not the insane amount it would be if B went to bed early like most babies his age.

VAannie · May 2010

DH and I take turns on the weekends; we sleep in as late as we want to/can on our day to sleep in. And DH gets DS first thing in the morning; they usually wake me up 20-40 minutes after DS wakes up, depending on what time it is and when DH needs to start getting ready for work. DH loves their "alone time."

Mrs.Hizzo · May 2010

Sigh. No. Even on the very rare occasions that DH gets up with the kids and leaves me to sleep, I can't do it. I hear them all through the door and I'm compelled to get up. I recently went away by myself for a wedding, and I was so looking forward to being in a quiet hotel room where I could sleep as late as I wanted. I was STILL up by 6:00 every morning. It sucked.

Lucy_Plus_One! · May 2010

DH lets me sleep in any weekend days that I want because he automatically wakes up at 6 or so without an alarm... he is just wired that way. I, on the other hand, used to be a night person and can't fall asleep early. Anyway, he lets me "Sleep in" but its really only until 8-830am.
