Once again, we have the cycle of good night - then bad night ..... Sunday night was very good and then Monday night was very, very bad. It feels like it was the worst night ever. Kaylia awoke at 1am and was then awake for the rest of the night. She has had other bad nights .... but each time, after a while she would sleep again. Last night, she was awake till school time ...
For a change she actually woke other people .... so I'm not just dreaming that she is awake! Much of the time was spent trying to stop Kaylia from going downstairs to be with Mummy (who was desperately trying to sleep so she could face the next day ....).
I didn't go to work today .... just took Kaylia to school then went back to bed and slept.
I think I will try a new tactic .... when she wakes, I won't try and get her to sleep again ... I'll just accept that she is awake and get up myself .... have some play time with her, perhaps go for a drive. I think that it is the process of trying to sleep (while continually being re-awoken) that is so debillitating. Perhaps if I just stay awake, it won't feel so bad.
