Mamas - how much sleep do you get?

Well, when Maggie was littler, I got more sleep (8 hours, maybe), but in shorter segments (1 1/2 to 2 hours); it wasn't very restful because I couldn't complete a whole sleep cycle before waking.

Now I get less sleep (5-6 hours) but in longer segments. I would get a LOT more, but I work evenings so dd doesn't have to be in daycare. DH doesn't get much sleep, either, because he is a heavy sleeper and can't be trusted to co-sleep or hear her waking.

I don't worry much, though, bc I know it has to get better!

Well I picked more then 6 hours but I don't realy feel lucky. We go to bed, with Samantha, at about 10pm and I get up for the day at 7 in the morning. That SEEMS like 9 hours sleep right? :LOL

In reality She wakes me up almost every hour and takes a good 10 minutes to nurse her back to sleep. Sure, I doze while she nurse but I have to still hold up my breast for her to latch on so I can not go back to sleep unil she is done. And then there is the night where she does not want to nurse but tosses and turns all night long.

Hmmm, considering, maybe it is a good thing that I can crawl into bed so early or I would be a real wreck.

sorry, having to remove all posts with personal info due to an online stalker.

Hmm. I have a 5 month old who I bf and co-sleep with. I go to bed at 9 p.m. and get up around 7 a.m. I usually have a period where I am up at night for 2 hours (I can't sleep! even if the baby does). So, I get 7 or 8 hours but it's in 2 hour segments.

Mind you, when he was a newborn, i was getting 2 hours a day.

For me, it's usually how many hours I get in a row that affects me the most. I get more than 6 hours, but rarely more than 3 in a row, even now that he's 11months old, and it's the broken sleep that wears me out.

I get about 7-8 hours, but broken up since Zach is nursing throughout the night. We cosleep, so it isn't too big a deal.
