[quote=Anonymous]SAHM married to a CEO, and with a newborn as well! You both need adequate sleep, and with a newborn that's more important than a workout. An uninterrupted stretch of sleep is vitally important to your continued healing, your mental health, and your ability to be a good wife and mother. Wanting to sleep for longer than three hours at a stretch is not unreasonable.

That said, you need to approach it with your husband as a collaboration, the two of you vs. the problem (the baby). You are sleep-deprived. What is the best way for you to get more sleep? How can he help? Don't get mad, don't tell him he's a jerk, just work together to figure out what's going to work for your family.

For mine -- when we have a newborn, I go to bed as soon as the big kids do and my husband stays up and deals with the baby until he can't stay awake, then he comes to bed and I take over for the rest of the night. We let him sleep in as long as he can in the morning. He hasn't exercised every day in years, because he's got a big job and a big family and those are more important right now. [/quote]
