An OBSESSION

Sleep....I am obsessed with sleep. I have been so sleep deprived that all I can think about is sleep. One night when I just couldn’t take it anymore I got on the internet and bought a step by step program to help Zach learn to sleep. After I bought the program I felt kind of bad that I spent money on it but decided that I would follow the program exactly and it is definitely paying off. The first couple of nights were awful Zach cried between 1-1 ½ hours before falling asleep and woke up at night about the same amount of times and cried for 30-40 minutes before falling back asleep, the third night it only took him 20 minutes to fall asleep and he only got up twice, once it only took him 10 minutes to go back to sleep and the second time was to eat and he went right back to sleep. He went to bed at 6:45pm, woke up at 10:30, 4am to eat, and then woke up for the day at 7:30am. That is awesome. Now we just need to get ride of the 10:30 wake up. Anyway today it only took him 5 minutes to fall asleep. Hopefully the rest of the night will be this awesome. Anyway, I’m mostly writing this because, first, I’m obsessed, and second I bought this program so if anyone is having sleeping problems with their children let me know I have some good pointers from this little program. It is saving my life and my poor husband and son from a grouchy mother.

I'm so glad that it seems to be working. Hopefully it'll last. All of our kids have been waking up at night and it's driving me berserk . Fortunately it doesn't take us too long to get them back to sleep.

Thats awesome that it is working. I HATE not getting enough sleep because it really effects the rest of my day! If it were just me that i had to worry about then i could deal with it but its not! :) I hope it keeps progressing!

Don't feel bad about spending a few bucks to get HOURS of sleep! I'm glad you are finally starting to get some good sleep. Let's hope Zach is an angel sleeper from here on out.

Tiffany I was kinda wondering the same thing...didn't know you knew a foreign language...???
I am happy for you, being sleep deprived is the worst thing in the world! I often wonder why mom's have to go through that at a time when we should be thoroughly enjoying these little ones!

Tiff, I'm so sorry you haven't been getting sleep. Hopefully he will start to catch on soon.

P.S. I was looking at the pics of Zach below, I really like his eyebrows, I love dark eyebrows on babies, it draws out their eyes. Cute little boy!
