On This Sleep Thing.

  1. Ha ha this is so true Kate, my daughter has not slept through a SINGLE night since she was born, now 16months despite best efforts, heeding recommendations from sleep experts, routines, more protein, in the diet, Gina Ford etc. I mourn my pre-baby full nights sleep…but would have a million sleepless nights over to get the priceless beeg smile and “Harro”in the morning. For the bags under eyes, thank the universe for concealer ?

  2. I don’t think babies sleep through every night of the week until age 3. Anyone who says otherwise….ITS ALL LIES!!! Even at age 3 sometimes my son wakes up because: a mozzie bit him/he has sand in his eyes!!/im hungry/the elephant stood on my foot etc etc. But you are totally right. You just adjust to less sleep and when they suddenly go through a good patch and you get 8-9 hours a night, you are groggy as all hell in the morning, wondering what the heck happened!

  3. I’m one of those well rested bastards. This was the funniest blog ever! I was chuckling so much my husband asked what was going on and I had to share!! Too funny!

    1. Haha – one day when I’m feeling very low I’m going to give you a call and ask you to talk me through your well rested life 😉

  4. Oh friend, the no sleep thing is mind-numbing but you are so right that you get used to it! It just becomes your new normal… I have been blessed with two very good sleepers but those nights that we did have, and the regressions that came -always hit us like a ton of bricks because we weren’t used to it!
