How many hours of sleep do you get a night? I thought these articles were interesting.  Let us know how many hours of shut-eye you get!

I get about 6 hours a night on weeknights, sometimes 7 or 8 on the weekends, I guess I am a little below average... so much to do and so little time...

I get around 8 hours a night.  I try to be in bed by 10PM, and watch tv for a little while.  I get up around 7AM.

I'm about the same, normally 6 on weeknights and maybe a little more when I can sleep in on Saturday.  Lucky for me, baby has been STTN for quite a while, so it's blissfully uninterrupted sleep!

I wish I could say the same, but mine is usually interrupted... Emily has never been a good sleeper.. although lately she has been STTN about half the time (which is really good for her).  She is just so restless that she needs her tangled covers fixed or she is stuck in a position or something... she doesn't get up anymore .. just cries out in her sleep.  On the occasions that she does sleep my fibroids usually have me up going pee-pee...LOL I usually can't win.  About once or twice a month she will sleep in on and Saturday and we will too :)

We had tried putting her in with DD#1 who is 17 now, but it did not work since she was such a restless sleeper.  She slept in our room until she was 17 months old and now has a room since SDD moved out at 18 to live with her mom.

When we go away for our anniversary - we usually order room service and spend most of 1 day in bed... sleeping!

Have a good Easter.
