Baylie often wakes up sideways in her crib.I am a night owl. For some reason, sometimes I go on a run where I just don't want to go to sleep. I'm usually in the middle of some project or reading a book. I remember one run in college where I went nine days on nine hours of sleep. The problem now is that I still like to stay up, but my body doesn't bounce back like it used to. I end up tired and sick the next day. (Ironically when I was a kid I'd always get sick the day after sleep overs, so maybe I'm reverting.) Problem #2 is that I get the munchies when I stay up too late. Fortunately, tonight I've only eaten grapes.
David is the exact opposite. He can get eight hours of sleep and still be tired. He can fall asleep anywhere - sitting down, standing up - and anytime. He's such a good sport to put up with my horrendous sleep habits. Sometimes he'll try to stay up with me, but he never makes it (unless we're watching a movie, then he stays up and I fall asleep).
It makes me feel guilty because it means we don't pray together or cuddle before going to sleep. For example, it is now 2:00 a.m. David went to sleep at midnight and I was supposed to follow right after. But first I just checked Facebook and then all the blogs I follow and now I'm posting this. Crazy! I'll be so tired tomorrow.
So, I guess I'll go slide into bed, try not to wake up David and get ready to get up whenever Baylie wakes up ... or maybe I'll just finish watching this show.
By the way, our baby is a WILD sleeper. She sleeps 10-12 hours, but she does laps around the crib and the blankets never stay on.

First, LOVE that picture! Too cute. :)
Second, I have sleep problems too. Mine are so erratic. Sometimes sleeping is good, I can fall asleep around 11 and wake up around 6:30. It goes to the other spectrum of not being able to sleep at all, or closing my eyes and pretending to sleep.
One of Jeff's talents is sleeping. He's great at it. I'm a bit jealous. :)
I do go to sleep quicker if I read.
