How do I get my sleep back to normal?

Hello!

Since having children I have become a night owl. I was always more of a night person than a morning person but now I find that I relish the time when everyone is asleep and no one is making demands on me. The only problem is that it’s usually 1 or 2 in the morning. I don’t want to have to go to bed and miss out on the peace . Do you have any ideas to re-adjust a body clock and still find time out. Thanks

Take short breaks during the day but not too often and sleep is needed dont miss out on well needed rest as you may feel underalept during the day

This is me. I too enjoy that time all to myself when everyone has gone to bed. I usually don’t get to bed before midnight or 1am and I haven’t been able to change this routine even though I should.

Sleep clinics also have fact sheets on sleep – may be worth looking at some of these sheets for tips and information.

I had time adjusting to me time. I found that all my time was devoted to the baby. I be straightening her clothes and everything had to be perfectly straight. So I did not find a place for me, I was getting pretty stressed out.

It might be worth researching some articles on sleep as disrupting your sleep pattern can have consequences – lack of deep sleep which is needed. I get up early and still have quiet time when everyone else is still asleep.
