too often

This is the scene in my living room at 12:30 in the morning.

I have a theory that one day, my kids will go to bed and sleep, all night It likely won't be tonight and definitely not tomorrow, but one day. That's what is keeping me going on the 45 minutes of sleep I get each night.

Speaking of sleep I think I need to go to bed
Just take as many naps as possible

Can you just leave them in their beds and let them cry? You really do need more than 45 minutes of sleep a night.

Angela - good idea in theory, but it's not always possible in practice.

Roxie - another good idea in theory. Abby's a little beyond the cry it out stage though. She's actually a great sleeper and always has been. Maya not so much and never has been. Since they are next door nieghbours it's not fair to Abby to let Maya cry in her bed since she usually has school the next day. Maya on the other hand can nap if she's tired the following day since she's at home. This particular night Abby just happened to wake up to use the bathroom while Maya was awake.

The 45 minute thing was a joke. I average around 5 hours of broken sleep per night. If my kids are up in the night then so am I. Whether they are in their beds or not.
