Wow, you have a lot on your hands. Good thing you are so, so wise. That bed tent is brilliant! I am going to get one for each of my kids (currently sleeping with us) and see how that goes!

Thanks again to Dr. H for sharing her experiences – as we all know, sleep is one thing we can’t live without.

I added the topic suggestion for next week – sorry to have left it out!

Great ideas here! Bedtime can be quite a hassle at times too.

Okay, Trish. What’s our next assignment for the next “Try This Tuesday”?

I really like the idea of the bed tent. I often feel overwhelmed by all the new senses when waking in the night, and that would seem like a good idea to prevent that.

Wow! And I thought we had a tough time of it over here.

The all powerful rigid routine is an absolute must around here. I sometimes think that’s the only thing that keeps me sane, knowing that they will all be asleep so that I get a chance to recharge my own batteries.

We also start out about 2 hours in advance of bedtime so that it’s arrival doesn’t come as a nasty surprise.

Still haven’t figure out how to function when they take it in turns to go nocturnal for a week to ten days, nor how to adjust to daylight Savings…..but we’re getting there.
Cheers
