I can’t wait—it’ll be tough since I have to wake up early tomorrow morning to head to the airport, but it’s been such a long time since I’ve gotten 8 hrs of sleep…

As a mother of 4 children, it is difficult to get 5 hours of sleep; usually broken sleep! Now that my youngest child is 2 1/2, I would like to try to get some “mommy time or mommy sleep!” I have been on perpetual broken sleep for 6+ years! I would love to have 8 hours of peaceful sleep! Wish me luck!

Okay—it didn’t work out last night…I only got 6 hours. I’m going to try again tonight, though. I want to see if 8 hours really does make a difference for me the next day

this will be difficult, as i have been sleeping poorly for the past several weeks! i think that i feel like i am rolling toward the middle of the bed, and that keeps me up. i may have to start sleeping on the floor, lol.

8 hours of sleep uninterupted would be great.
Thats my goal tonight

I usually get just under 8 hours – but heck, if it means longer in bed I’m willing to give it a try.

I didn’t realize this would be so difficult! I am finding lately that the only time I have to work out is early in the morning – forcing me to choose either exercise or sleep on most days.
