I voted for both 'i'm a night owl and i get up late' and 'I'm a night owl but I cope without sleep'.

Most of the time, I get up late. I'm lucky that DS is a late sleeper some times. Example - we've only been up for 15 mins today, but some days we don't get up until 10am. Last night I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned and finally at around 5am I dropped off to sleep. Now, I may have a nap when DS does today, depending on how I'm feeling, or I may just do it all again tonight.

My problem is that I can't sleep very well at night. I have no idea why, I just sleep better during the day. Most nights, if I do actually get to sleep early, I wake all through the night so it's not really a restful sleep. But during the day, I can sleep for long solid blocks of time and I actually DO feel rested.

Ok I think maybe I do need some more sleep because I'm rambling so much

I voted other.

I love the nights, but I can't sleep in (for obvious reasons) and I don't cope with no sleep... so usually i PLAN to go to bed early... then end up staying late, then get cranky coz I'm overtired and crash out when the boys have a nap.

We'll work on it. DH is getting up with the boys every day now... (coz I'm PG and he thinks I need to sleep more

) maybe I should just stay constantly PG!!

I am a night owl, but can cope without the sleep! (Most days anyways!).

i go to bed early say about 9pm usually and get up late about 8am (which is late in my house just ask Dh up at the crack of dawn every morning), so do the boys they have inherited my sleeping patterns, dh goes to bed late about 1am and gets up early 5am maybe 6am on weekends.

I go to bed around 10:30pm and get up at around 7.30-8am, I wish I could sleep in. I love sleep!!!

Definitely a night owl.Most of the time I can cope without sleep but if there's an option, I'll take the sleep-in!

Used to be a nightowl, now I'm an early bird.

DS wakes up at about 5.30am and there's no point going back to sleep after his feed since DD is up at 6ish.
