Sweet Slumber

Guess who’s sleeping!?!  Well, not right this minute, but at night.  All night!  The melatonin has worked.  I think it’s a miracle.  Layla is so much happier and so less cranky now that’s she gotten a good amount of sleep.  It took some time, but it’s working!  I feel like I should knock on wood.

Night one: fell asleep around 9:30pm.  Woke up at 2am.  Didn’t want to go back to sleep. After about 15 minutes, she was asleep again.

Night two: no melatonin .  Stayed at my sister’s.  Had a “magic” blanket.  Went to sleep around 10pm and slept through the night.

Night three: fell asleep around 10pm.  Woke up at midnight.  Went right back to sleep.

Night four: fell asleep around 9:30pm.  Slept through the night.

Night five:  fell asleep around 9pm.  Slept through the night

Night six: fell asleep around 8:30pm.  Woke up at 11:30pm.  Went to the bathroom and then right back to sleep.

Six nights of sleeping!  I’m so happy!

She spends tonight at her dads and tomorrow night back with me.  I think I’m going to give it the whole weekend without the melatonin and see how she does.  I don’t want to be giving her a sleep aid every night, but the girl needed to rest.  We all needed her to rest.

Here’s to hoping for many more sleep filled nights.
