I know, I know. I have to take responsibility for myself and just go to bed early. But when I do, I toss and turn and sleep doesn't happen. If I go to bed at 1am, I will fall asleep. The problem is that DS (four) will wake up a bit before or after 7am (pretty civilised, I know), by which time I've had less than six hours' sleep. I realise this is more than mums of babies are getting. But after four years, being a couple of hours down every night is knackering. I'm exhausted.
Are there any other nocturnal types like me (I've been like this since secondary school age, and my dad's the same) who have managed to transform into larks since becoming parents? How do you effectively change your body clock? I feel like shit.
