    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...

    DD goes down at 6:30 and i go to bed 10-11ish. Tho she has a feed at 10-10:30, so if i was to sleep before then, there is no hope in hell, im gonna get back to sleep. I dont mind coz she doesnt wake during the night so i usually get a good 6-8 hours full sleep (its me that keeps waking! lol)

    I hate it but have been in bed by 8.30pm most nights - enough time to get a few hours sleep before the party starts here . DH and I were night owls, but after 4 months of little sleep we have retrained! It definitely makes a difference too, for me anyway (I am the one who gets up at night). Otherwise perhaps a day nap when your son does - it is not possible here as DD1 doesn't stop!
    I believe the trick to changing sleep routines are to persist and use a wind down routine for yourself too!!!! Good luck - it is hard without sleep!

    Or stop looking at the clock - sleep when you are tired and just go with the flow!!
