Not exact matches
My baby still
wakes up once a night most nights, and I have to
wake up around 5:30 am on the days I commute, so it really is essential for me to go to bed
at a
decent hour.
Her daytime sleep windows are approximately 1.5 - 2
hours from
wake up in the morning to morning nap and then 2 to 3
hours between morning nap and afternoon nap (assuming she has had a
decent morning nap,
at least 45 minutes long) and then the third nap is not an exact science in terms of the number of
hours but you don't want our baby to be awake more than 4
hours between afternoon nap and bedtime, okay?
The fact is, I hate
waking up to a low score (especially since the number of
hours of sleep I log is completely within my control)-- and that, it turns out, is enough motivation to get me into the sack
at a
decent hour.
Wake up refreshed
at a
decent hour, stretch, make a healthy breakfast while listening to a podcast / morning news, maybe get an exercise in, get ready for the day, make some tea, burn a candle, and go to my desk to begin writing / working.
