It doesn't seem to take my body too long to get into a slightly new routine. In the past, I have found that to be useful in some ways (ie: if I always get up for work at 7am, pretty soon it doesn't matter if I forget to set the alarm as I'll wake then anyway) and not so useful in others (I find it immensely hard to sleep in on the weekend).
At the moment I am cursing my stupid body clock. Cooper has been enjoying his night-time playtimes. Last night however, was a little different. I went to bed just after 9:30, Cooper and Jase came around 12:30 but he didn't need a feed until a bit after 2am, so I got 4.5hrs solid sleep on my own - nice!! He had a super quick and quiet feed then was straight back to sleep again until 6:30am!!!! How awesome is that!
I, however, lay there wide awake, expecting playtime!! :( 3am came, 4am came, I turned the light on and did some Sudokus, yet still sleep eluded me. I did drift off eventually, and slept fitfully til the next feed. Grrrr. Here's hoping Cooper keeps that idea of going straight back to sleep after feeds and that I learn to follow suit again!
I find that if I've had a decent few hours sleep then wake up properly for some reason (and sometimes it HAS been to deal with a baby or two) then I find I stay awake for a few hours too. Usually expectingly fall asleep around 5:30am again for a short while before I have to get up again...all groggy now. :( Hopefully Cooper does keep it up and if your body adjusts easily to new routines then you should be right in a few nights.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sucks trying to work out whether to stay up or not, eh? Hope your boys are sleeping well these days!
ReplyDeleteOh they have their nights. They slept reasonably well. I got up once for I and T slept right through till 6am. That being said I didn't sleep well. I couldn't get to sleep. "I" coughed all night and apart from it being noisy over the monitor I was in that constant edginess of "Is he going to wake up and cry?" How annoying! I could also hear S coughing in the room next door. I didn't get to sleep until after 1am and then didn't sleep soundly. Sigh. At least I didn't have to actually get up much and I have this morning off so hopefully I can get some of that night time sleep I missed.
