So LO sleeps through the night, and while bed time is late, around 10:30 or 11pm, we've got a routine and that's that. She sometimes stirs in the nights, but settles herself quite happily.

The problem is me! I've been waking up at 3:30 or 4 am for the past few nights and I CANNOT get back to sleep. I need to learn self-soothing! 

It's really frustrating, because our days are full-on, and there's no time to nap, so I'm shattered by the end of the day and just wish I could take advantage of proper sleep time!

    I hear you.  I was doing that for several nights and was so frustrated!  One thing that helped me was to NOT look at the clock when I wake up MOTN.  I find that if I don't know what time it is, I stop worrying and I can fall back asleep. &n
