How early do you go to bed?

[LaDeeDa]

DS has recently changed his sleeping pattern and is going off to sleep for the night at about 7.30-8pm....he wakes about 3-5 times per night - mainly just coz he wants a quick booby but won't resettle without it ....
He's been getting up for the day at about 5ish too...

Prob I have is it doesn't matter how exhausted I am I can't go to bed before 10.30pm - I've tried and I just lie there stressing about not sleeping

Do you go to bed when your little one does to maximise sleep or do you still run on a grown ups body clock?

i should go to bed earlier than i obviously do but this is my time! i try and go around 9.30pm, girls are both asleep by 7pm

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 too have trouble falling asleep before 11.30!! I try to go to bed by 10.30 but usually end going later as I keep hitting the new post button!!! Like I just did....

Anyway Goodnight all.. I'm going now..

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
