I get about 8 hours of sleep now-Finally!!! My kids are 5 and 2 though so we rarely have to get up in the middle of the night anymore. My kids do wake up really early but as long as I go to bed on time, I do ok. When I have a new baby, I seriously go to sleep around 9. Its the only way to come close to getting enough sleep.
I agree with those who talk about exercising. I do sleep so much

Our new baby has been a pretty good sleeper and I am usually getting 7-8 hours sleep. However, if he is having a bad night and I get closer to 4-5 hours I feel totally thrashed! its crazy, because in college I swear I was totally fine with 4-5 hours. I guess I am just getting old! thanks for the tips - I need to make exercise a bigger priority and make it a point to have an outing like Alisa

I usually sleep 7-8 hours a night. I go to bed between 10:30 and 11:00 and wake up at 6:30 to exercise. The funny thing I've noticed is that when I sleep in (7:30 :)) I'm more tired than when I get up and exercise. It's amazing how it energizes me and sets me up to make good food choices. Plus, I get so much more done getting off to a good start. I'm with you on afternoon

On a good night, I get between 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night. With three kids though (my youngest just turned 1), I frequently don't get to sleep through the night uninterrupted. When my youngest was a newborn, he was awful and would stay awake half the night and I couldn't sleep much during the day because I was taking care of my other boys. I barely got enough sleep then to survive (

I sleep so much better when I take the time to get good exercise for myself. I always notice a huge difference if I haven't been to the the gym in a while.

With three small kids and a husband always traveling, my sleep gets comprimised. My greatest help is to get outside for a daily dose of fresh air-regardless of weather. It helps me feel refreshed to keep moving...until bedtime. The kids appreciate the outing, too.
