I know what you mean Bath. If I wasn't returning to work I'd probably just keep plodding along like we are, but after a rough night last night for example, there's no way i'd be up at 6am and ready for a day of work. I've kind of reached the point where I want to encourage him to sleep longer stretches than he is for his own benefit too. It can't be very restful waking so often He has on rare occasions done 8 hour stretches but not for a while.

I think I will wait until he is totally over this cold and just get into that headspace, tell myself I'm going to have at least a week of very little sleep. I know DH will help out when he can but he has a 5 am start so the majority of it will be up to me.
