Clocks changing

[Celebelly]

Anyone else dreading it?! 😬

It won’t be an hour early! You’ll get as much sleep as you do any other night!

Theres always one (rolls eyes)
By the clock - yes its an hour early.
Wide awake club at 4am. Yaaaaay :|

My ine hss just woken on a normal morning 5.40 is ok.. 4.40visnt haha

I've been up with DD since 4.30am. She didn't actually settle untill 10.30pm and had cried in between and woken up about 5 times. She's 2yo! These last few weeks have been a nightmare. Thanks clocks 😆

Oh no Dolly. Is that normal for her?

@Bofster37 It's not so much about the first night, but the fact that baby body clocks can take a while to adjust so they could wake up an hour early for a while. If they've woke up 'early' today then you have to try to squeeze an extra hour out of them before bed, which can be tricky, and sometimes they just wake up at the 'old' time anyway as they don't know how clocks work! It's the next few nights I'm worried about!

That said, DD woke at 5 and I ignored her and she went back to sleep till 6.30 which was better than I was expecting. We will see what tomorrow brings

I put DD to bed an hour later last night and she woke an hour later than usual this morning (5.30 a.m. post clock-change) so thus far it's been OK. I also managed to use boob power to delay actually needing to get out of bed until 6.30. Not so stealthy stealth brag

I love it! Love dark nights and getting in pjs as soon as I get home!

Oh god. My son wakes at 5am every damn day. Regardless of what we do... so it was a 4am start for us here. The morning certainly did drag!!!!
Why couldn't they have gone forward

@Celebelly I bloody hope you arent right! DS was up at 4.45 this morning

I let DD stay up really late last night as she had a nap in the afternoon (she’s 3). She woke up at 7am!! But she was ready for bed at 5:30pm. It was a tough 1.5 hours trying to get her to 7pm but I did but wow it was a struggle.

Dunno 4..30 again today. Currently in dark living room witg awake 14 month old. Dunno what to do as dont want to be getting up at 4.30 for ever!!

We've been up since 2. I can taste the tired.

Badger- since 2????

Oh no @ScottishBadger ! That's awful. How old is your LO?

@SnowWhite26 we've been up since 4:20... so grim!!!!! I'm refusing to put TV on till 6.... it's a killer. :( they say it should get a bit better as time goes on? What time did your LO go to sleep last night?

Normal 7 o clock time. I figured if we just start following the hour difference with meals and naps then hopefully it will get better. He wakes between 5 and 5.30 anyway so battling getting that to 6! His older sister has been wakong with a cough and so just had her come out and had make her go back to bed. Its so hard!!!!!

Morning folks, 5am start yesterday, 4.30 today- it’s getting worse! Also have had to force older one back to bed. I really hope uk decide to stop daylight savings.

DS was 4.15 today. He has stayed in bed and is still there so might have dozed but I cant be sure. He hadn't seemed particularly upset so I havent been in but I'm absolutely knackered because he has been bloody singing.

Not sure my strategy is working!

I’m pissed off as we were abroad a few weeks ago and I spent a week or so working on recovering from that time change, then had a week of decent wake ups (still 6-6.15 ) and then tried in week before sat to move bedtimes later in preparation. And it’s done feck all.

I didn’t know how annoying this would be.

5am wake up now 4. 9 month old.

And he went to bed at 7 as usual! I dragged yesterday right out.
Hell.

If it's any consolation my two were the same. When the clocks went back when they were little we'd be up anytime from 4am onwards.

We would get up and go out about 6am when it got light, go for a walk and try and find somewhere for a cooked breakfast. I still remember the first year when he was 9 months DS was that grumpy by about 9am he threw a piece of toast at a smiling old lady from his high chair. Another year by the time we'd walked round the whole lake at a local country park with the pushchair it was still only 8am.

Both DCs are now teenagers and would sleep past 10am every day if they could and my early wake-ups are thanks to my approaching menopause

I hate the clocks changing too. My body doesn’t know what to do with itself

4.30 yesterday, 3.30 today! He doesn't normally nap in the day but going to ask nursery to try and get him to nap today so we can try and push bedtime later.

Baby DS made it to 5.30.

This has been the worst one yet!

15 month old DD has just got on with it.. yesterday she woke at 6am (what was 7) so that's positively a lie in. All I did was keep her awake 45 minutes later. 6am again today, and she was in bed at 6.45 last night - long day for everyone.

She is usually awake any time between 4.30 & 6.30 though so I'm not a stranger to early mornings

It's so bloody hard. We've been up now for around 4 hours and it's not even 8am. What a joke.

I have booked him into the creche for two hours this morning so I can go to the gym (read Mumsnet and have a coffee in the cafe!!!!!)
