snap - my soon to be 3 yr old has been up for 53 mins and I want to kill myself- never does this but I guess I’m sleeping at my desk later. Is it a full moon?

My 1 year old was up from 4 and just went back to sleep, but now I'm so awake I can't get back to sleep.

@OnlyFoolsnMothers mine too 😭. It's so much harder when it feels like the middle of the night too.

This is the worst bit. Solidarity! And coffee

I thought maybe a full moon but it is exactly half way between the full moons. 😂

My ds (3 in December) has had horrendous sleep lately and between him and a 12 week old I am losing my sanity.

GlitteryGreen · 09/10/2023 06:37

My 12mo has been waking up earlier and earlier the last couple of days. Normally at least 7, yesterday 6.30, today 5.40?!

It's a pain because she's just started nursery and is going today, but now she's going to be ready for a sleep as soon as she arrived...which she won't have because she'll be hysterically crying from the handover.

Sigh.

My 2 year old has done this for a while on occasion but has become a lot more frequent the last couple months.
Goes to bed no problem, come 10-11pm just gets up and that's it! Awake til 5am.

she went back to sleep at 6- then the eldest woke- at that point I admitted defeat and passed the buck to my DH. I feel like I have a newborn today- I need a coffee IV.

My baby actually slept through last night. First time in a week as she has been unwell. It is a v rare thing even when well though. The worst thing about her deciding the day starts at 3.30, is that she yawns her head off for hours while laughing, smiling, playing and refusing down 😑

Mine sleeps through the nursery run then wakes up the second we get home.
