[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I tend to agree with the other posters that the kids should go to bed earlier. My 3 yo has an 8:30 bedtime, which folks are saying is late but I do think the time works for her. She sleeps until 6 or 7am. Try for 8:30 or even 9 and see what that extra hour does for you. Also, if you have some sort of involved bedtime routine where you have to lie with them until they fall asleep, I would cut that out. No judgment, I swear. I think it's really nice to cuddle too, but I don't have the patience because I usually have to log back on to work after bedtime. We do bath, brush teeth, book, hugs, and lights off, that's it. I just can't spare the time if I want to get sleep for myself.

Also, you could try alternating study/late nights with early bedtime nights. I try to get up around 5am and run every other morning, which means I try for an earlier bedtime every other night. Ideally it would be every night, but I'll take what I can get.[/quote]

OP. Good advice about alternating study/early bedtime nights! I'll try to do everything faster tonight and see if I can put them to bed at 8 and go to bed at 11 myself. Running at 5 am would be so awesome if I could only get myself out of bed.[/quote]
