I'm a SAHM and i have fairly rigid day schedules (nap at 11am-ish for 60+ minutes) and very rigid night schedules (bath at 7, bed immediately thereafter) and DD *headbutts table* sleeps really well, and has done for months. That said she does have the occasional week (when ill/teething etc.) when she wakes a lot and i am getting up to go to her 5 and 6 times (we don't co-sleep as she just gets up and rakes about in my room if i bring her in with me) a night - i COULD NOT hold down a job while that was happening. I'd be too exhausted as i'm on my own, there's no-one to take turns with or anything.
