over christmas i got into a habit of staying up very late and sleeping in later everyday. i need to break it. today i didn't get up til 1pm (mum had the dcs overnight) and i know i will never get up in teh moring to take ds to school and even when i do, i will go back to bed with ds2 afetrwards. i can't do this anymore. i need to break it. getting up early and being tired isn't working because i amd just so tired i go back to bed. i want to go to bed tonight, latest 11pm and i want to sleep.

what can i do? i cant take sleeping tablets as i have the dcs and no partner. how do i get myself ready to sleep at 11pm?

well, it worked!!!

i had a bath, read a bit then watched a bit of tv before going to sleep. and i was able to get up at 7.30 this morning, no problem, i even had to wake the dcs which is unusual. it's normally the other way round! i feel great, had a lovely walk and now I'm just taking a break from my jobs.
