They claim the doctor told them to do it.

Not good if you need them to have their wits about them at three in the morning, but on the plus side it's very easy to con them into agreeing to do things while they're still half asleep.Kellie @ Delightfully Ludicroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226603919012169939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-61467743500850543842013-03-21T19:53:51.983-04:002013-03-21T19:53:51.983-04:00I enjoy hearing how other couples manage life'...I enjoy hearing how other couples manage life's basic necessities like sleep. Everybody has their own system that works for them, and it sounds like you and your hubby have it worked out quite nicely. In my house, everybody knows if Mama doesn't get her nightly 10 hours-yes 10 hours- ya better stay outta my way or there will be serious hell to pay!!!!

One morning, my husband brightly announced how the baby had slept through the night. I gave him the death glare and said no, YOU slept through the night. The baby was up every hour, all night long. <br /><br />My mom said she always prided herself on always waking up when she heard one of us as babies. Then, one night, she came out of a deep sleep to the feeling of my dad kicking her. Seems he woke up first pretty much every time one of us cried and kicked her awake.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-19669122833162472872013-03-21T19:00:33.965-04:002013-03-21T19:00:33.965-04:00Good for you!

There...So glad you're now getting solid sleep. There are studies going on in the UK (and probably elsewhere too) but as I'm in the former, that's where I pick up these items. A recent study by the Univ. of Surrey found that folks who only slept for 5-1/2 to 6hours for one week (length of test) had 755 genes altered as a result. Now, multiply that by the years you've not slept properly, and think of the trouble you've been building!!!! Ignorance may be bliss - but apparently these genes are responsible for obestity (you don't look as though that's a problem right now), immune systems, diabetes likelihood and metabolism shake-up!!! Why do I know all this: have a child (now nearly 40) who hasn't slept properly for 26 years!!! Yup, and she's suffering from a fair few of these things! Think on!<br /><br />Found this post interesting - as ever. <br /><br />Best wishes.

Then hubby had to, and we just never really switched back (with the exception of middle-of-the-night feeds). John's cure-all for all childhood nighttime wakenings was a glass of water. Amazingly, it seemed to work!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.com
