    At the moment I'm not going to bed until about now or a bit later..towards 11pm/midnight... have so many other things to do once she is in bed before I go to sleep, and we still don't really have a night routine... would love to go to bed earlier, but need to have dinner, clean up the kitchen, feed the dog, fold washing, wash bottles etc etc...the list goes on! I don't like being woken up/having disturbed sleep. so I'd much rather stay up for her late evening/early morning feed and go to bed after that when hopefully she sleeps through until 4 or 5 in the morning! One day we will have a better routine...lol

    I've gone to bed at 7pm once DS is asleep, DH and I have MANY early nights these days LOL

    I dont seem to have much of a body clock any more, I think I have a baby clock hehehehehe

    Maybe try some relaxation techniques for adults, a warm relaxing bath, get DH to give you a back rub etc, maybe that will get you to sleep earlier?

    I really should go to bed earlier but I just dont do it. I generally get to bed between 10:30 & 12!!! DS goes to sleep at around 6, maybe 6:30 & DD goes to bed at 7:30 so I could put myself to bed at 8:30 if I wanted but I like to relax on the lounge, surfing the net with a cup of tea & some bickies LOL

    maybe when DD starts big school next year I might get myself into more of a routine & wake up easier in the mornings

    Dee I could have written your exact post. DD is the same and I am like you. Cant go to ed early. I am still up now and its after midnight. I figure its not as bad getting up to feed her when I am already up. There is method to my madness!

    I go to bed at 9:30pm. My eyes fall out of my head any later.

    DD is off to sleep by 7pm and generally up at 7am (today it was 8am!). I only get up twice, but it still makes me so, so tired by the evening!

    I hope you get some more sleep tonight!

    Since DS has been sick (and shows no signs of getting rid of this cough) I've been in bed 8pm latest. He goes down at 7pm and is awake before 9pm, and then my night starts, he's in with me, coughing, eating and napping. So I need the extra hour before he wakes......really annoying as I just love my time at night without kids! HAven't stayed up past 8.30pm though since DS was born...
