Would it help if you sleep alongside them and wake up half an hour earlier than your usual timing?

That’s what I do. Wake up at 5.30am, prepare for work, do household chores from 6-6.30am. While doing household chores, I listen to Fountain or watch Netflix.

6 is when our kids wean off their dependence on us. Hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel is near for you. Hang in there.

Thanks. Yeah I might have to give that a try. At this point I’m willing to try anything.

I keep telling myself that things have to get better soon.

Sleep is about the same but my stress level has gone up. The kids have had several health problems pop up in the last 4 months. I really appreciate you checking in!
