Why is it so hard to just go to bed?

I’m a night owl. Always have been. I’m rarely in bed before midnight each night, and it’s not the baby’s fault. You would think that the boys waking me up somewhere between 5 and 6 freaking a.m. EVERY morning would help me mend my ways, but I guess I’m a slow learner in this area.
Then again, I actually went to sleep at 10:30 two nights ago, got 7 hours of sleep instead of 5, and felt more groggy and tired and grumpy that day than I had in a long time. So what’s the point?
And why do my kids think they need to get up that early? They’ve been doing it for over two years. I long for the day when I’m fighting to get them up and ready for school. I would love to start my day not being woken up by bickering or banging of toys on walls.
*sigh*

I was about equally as tired the day I got 3 hours of sleep as I am today with twice that.

But I really got to get to bed, too. In college you can be night owl because you can sleep in. But I don’t know what I’m doing staying up till 12:30, 1:30 and once even 4:30!

(Well, I know what I’m doing; I’m writing my book. But I think I must be crazy for staying up so late!)

This is not helping my quest for patience one bit.

PS–Did you switch to partial feeds? :(

yep, it’s rotten to be a night owl and have morning people for children.

I am similarly afflicted.

i am currently exhausted and should be sleeping but i can not do it. night owl i am !! and i never learn. but when i do finally do that good night sleep, it is 50/50 about feeling good. sometimes i feel refreshed - other days it backfires
