The past 2 weeks Pea has decided that she is done with napping. Done with napping until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon when she decides she is so tired from being up at 6 and needs to take a nap. There is just one little problem with the 3 or 4 o'clock nap...the fact that I too am up at 6 and after the late nap she is not ready for bed until midnight, I on the other hand am crawling into my nest at 9:30-10 pm these days. It's a necessity, I find I can't function if I don't get the sleep.
So the problem here is that Pea is miserable all day, she doesn't sleep any better at night and the hours between 2 and 8 are painful for both her and I. I believe your body knows when you are tired and knows when you need to sleep, I have always let Pea follow her bodies cues on sleep because I think it's essential to listen to your needs and not be told what they are. We have always fallen into a predictable rhythm based on Pea's sleeping needs. So tomorrow we are going to do just that, listen to Pea's body and let her take that 3 o'clock nap, I will give us a week to adjust and see if everything falls back into place.
Wish us luck....and sleep!
