How do you define STTN?

When someone says this, exactly what does it mean?! ?Sleeping from what time to what time? ?I always get jealous and then I wonder how you define STTN, how many hours in a row?

    To make myself not feel bad, I'm defining it as "the hours I want to sleep." DS has the number of hours down--goes 6 and 7 sometimes--but not the time of day. His longest stretch will be from 7 or 8pm on, which isn't really practical for ME to hit the sack.

    I'd love him to go midnight to 8am, ideally. :)

    technically its if they sleep for 5-6 hours at a time.

    DD sleeps from 8-7 or 8 though, and I've grown so used to it, that if she wakes up at all, I don't consider it sleeping through the night.  lol.

    I think technically STTN means sleeping a 5 hour stretch. My DS is "STTN", but I still don't get 8 hours of sleep so I don't consider it yet.

    I define it as 6 hours straight without waking up. My DS will go up to 8 hours straight, but not always on my schedule. His normal night time schedule is somewhere between 7 - 9pm to 4:30 - 6:30am.  More often than not is around 4:30 - 5:30am...when its 6:30am I'm thrilled!

    I sometimes dreamfeed at 9-10pm if he eats too early.  If he eats at 6:30pm-7pm, he won't make it through the night.  If he eats at 8-9pm he can make it till 5am.

    I want to trade babies. DS sleeps from 10:30 or11-8... but I work at 5 AM so I never get enough sleep. DH gets to sleep in until 8 with him though. I wish he would go to sleep earlier.

    Five hours straight. DD has done this exactly twice -- usually it's 5:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Then she's up every 3 hours.

    Like PP said, its technically 6 hours straight.  For me its how long I need to sleep!  DS goes down around 9 and sleep till 6:30 (sometimes I have to wake him up to feed and go to work).  This weekend he slept in till 7:15 so that was pretty nice :)

    I define it as 8-9 hours straight.  DD sleeps 6 straight, but sleeps from 10 to 4 am, which doesn't allow me to get much sleep since I get up at 6.  If she could go until 6, that would be STTN for me!
