Once upon a time, the time change in the fall meant an extra hour of sleep. Or tv watching. Or reading. Or all sorts of other things. But now, with little ones at home? That extra hour means that instead of getting up at 6am, I’m now up at 5am. Apparently 3 year olds don’t get the whole “extra hour of sleep” thing. They’re going to bed at the “new” time – 8pm which is 9pm old time. But my youngest is still waking up at 5am. Aaaaahhhh! On the upside, my mornings seem to last much longer, which is nice. But the downside? I’m exhausted by 9pm (which is really 10pm, which isn’t really so pathetic, is it?????).
So, you mothers out there, any insights? Suggestions? Anything????????
