My crappy sleeper is about to turn 5 years old and still wakes up at least once a night. At least now he just climbs into bed with us instead of screaming his face off like when he was a baby.

I've not slept through the night since I got pregnant (any night). At its worst, around weeks 34-37 I could not sleep for more than 45 minutes at a stretch. Between heartburn, nausea, pain, peeing, plain old insomnia, I was up. I looked and felt like a zombie, and eventually developed a severe bronchitus, which then, on account of coughing and not breathing, made sleeping harder.<br /><br />"Well meaning" sociopaths would say to me "sleep now while you can, you won't be able to sleep once the baby comes". I have never felt so violent. First that would suggest that I could sleep now, if only I tried, second, that it will only get worse and third, clearly sleeping would never have occured to me as a responce to tiredness if someone did not suggest it to me.<br /><br />Ahem. Perhaps I need my own blog post on the issue.<br /><br />Anyway, may better sleep, and a clearer head come to you and to Lucy. May it get better, and may that be soon.<br /><br />Posted at yes, 3:03 am local time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570876680747280215.post-23135740579828108282010-01-18T10:09:42.730-07:002010-01-18T10:09:42.730-07:00Oh do I feel your pain, during the month of Decemb...Oh do I feel your pain, during the month of December there was not much sleep at all happening in this house (not by Owen or myself anyways). I felt things were never going to get better and that no one could understand HOW TIRED I was. <br /><br />Things are a little better,,,doing a bit of the EASY.

May I suggest the Sleep Easy Solution?! yes it has some CIO... but it is manageable, and you will see change in 3 days, and BIG change in 7. I kid you not. We were not supporters of CIO either - until the zombie that I was needed exorcising. GOOD LUCK. I really REALLY am freaked about getting another crap sleeper if we do it again....Clairenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570876680747280215.post-61383413426298523722010-01-13T08:22:41.908-07:002010-01-13T08:22:41.908-07:00ugh, could not have said it better.

I'm not a fan of the technique either, but one night I actually couldn't get out of bed to get up to get him. Its hard, but I think that for some kids its the only way. If it were 12 times a night I might take them to the Dr. just to make sure there is no alternative reason (if you haven't done that already) for the waking. [Lucky you - more unsolicited advice]. Good Luck T. Thinking of you.Joannanoreply@blogger.com
