Unless I have trouble sleeping (rare these days), I am never short on sleep. Both kids are asleep by 7pm during the week and I also go to bed early on week nights. On the weekends DH always lets me sleep in, he is naturally an early riser. I average 9-10hrs/night, 9 is perfect for me.

i'm at work. i am sleepy. i want to go home and curl up with my little yorkie.

What does an uninterrupted sleep feel like again? I can't remember. God I miss sleeping in

I'm a senior in high school, getting ready to start college. I'm not a mom, but I feel like it. My mom is my best friend, but she is an awful mother. I have 3 brothers and a sister, and I have been raising them since I was in first grade while she sleeps, smokes, and goes unnecessary places leaving me with them. On top of all that, she no longer has a job, so I'm stuck paying the bills. At 17. These children are my world and I am their mom more than she ever has been. We hardly ever see her, but whenever we have company, she's the perfect house wife (except she just got divorced). Makes me mad

To all the women who are sleeping with married men...Where are you finding them? Do you go to your best friends house, supermarket, church...THis is just so odd and weird to me and it seems that a lot of women on here do it a lot

Youngest dc will be three next month. In the past month she wakes up almost everynight crying out for us. She is not sick(we've checked), just think she has gotten into some annoying habit of waking between 3-4am 5 nights a week. She is on a regular schedule, has a sound machine, and has always been a great sleeper. I have even tried cutting her nap out. I hope this is a phase. I'm starting to feel like we have an infant again.

I'm a born-again Christian. And to some people I will always be the drunk, liar who sleeps around and punched the chick at the 7-11 and got banned from every 7-11 in town. (This was hot gossip when I was 17.) But lucky for me a lot of people have recognized the growth I've done and accepted my apologies and allowed me to make amends. I'm now a community activist, volunteer, PTO leader, and church teacher. Trust me, I get confused by the change too.

My ex was the type that would fall asleep on the couch and get mad that the kids woke him up. Thing is, he worked nights, this was an almost every day thing. We had a room set up in the back, away from the kids and away from the TV. We had the window blacked out and everything just so he could go there to sleep. If he chose to fall asleep on the couch or in our bedroom, which is where I would work on laundry and where out bathroom was so I would be in and out of that room then it was his own fault that he got woken.

My MIL believes she has the side effects from her drug that causes people to make poor choices. You know the one that causes addictive behavior like sleeping around, poor money choices and gambling. She said lately some of her choices has been poor, none this extreme. She told her dr this and he said it isn't one of the symptoms that comes with this particular medicine. She doesn't believe him and thinks he is a quack. I think maybe she got the wrong duck.

I'm in my mid 20s only one of my friends has had a baby. He's nine months old and she hasn't had a good nights sleep since he was born, she's been tired for 9 months straight. I have absolutely zero patience for anything after two more nights without a good sleep. How do mums do it?!
