‘Tis good to know these things we sense have ‘science’ behind them. Of course, it doesn’t do much to prevent or make up for the sleep deprivation does it? I wonder if there's similar research about 'lab owners' and/or 'bloggers' and sleep deprivation???
Hugs and blessings,

ummmmm....yeah! I could have told them that. M did not sleep through the night until she was nine and when she was up...she was up for hours on end. She could never be left alone for even a minute. I know that is a reason my health has been so bad. Lack of sleep and bizarre sleep patterns are so unhealthy. But, what can you do?

I can't believe they have to do studies to figure this stuff out. I stand in awe of your dedication and mothering skills.

I've always wondered how you do it.

I have one week left to catch up on 3 months of sleep deprivation!

As for autistic kiddos having a difficult time falling asleep, I haven't seen that with my nephew. As a matter of fact, he doesn't have to be told twice to go to sleep. He lies his head down and poof, he's in la la land!!

I've got a 2 1/2 yr old who still wakes up at night, but I have the hope and a prayer that someday soon I will get a full night's rest on a consistent basis. My bed looks that that time-lapse commercial starting with the parents in bed on their own and then the toddler comes in and then the older child and of course they are all sprawled arms wide in the middle of the bed and the parents are on opposite sides clinging to the edges so they don't fall off. So I have total sympathy with you, but i also know that my stage will most likely end before yours does, and for that you have my complete love and wishes that you will be in the statistical side of getting sleep regularly sooner rather than later.

Smooches to your sleepy head.

It's like they were in my freaking house.

Must go to bed soon.
