Are there any sleep starved Parents out there? I think I got more sleep on BF. Went to sleep around 4am, First Child woke up at 7am. I am so thankful he slept til 7. Anyone else need a nap?

YES MEEEEE! i went to bed at 3am my dd6 woke up (she slept in my bed last night) at 6:30 am to use the bathroom i carried her lol hoping that if she didn't see the presents she may go back to sleep, well we got back to my room and in bed for her to ask "isn't it time to open gifts yet?" so up we got along with her brother and they opened their presents. now i'm very tired . and ready for a nap!

I dunno.....my kids must have been sedated....they didnt get up until 9. I was up at 8 wondering why they weren't up!

I was in bed somewhere between 2-3:30. The girls were up at 5:00. I permitted it because this is only the second Christmas the girls have ever had. Their first was last year. with me. Mandatory nap time starts in 7 minutes.

Kids woke at 10am. I didn't get much sleep but it's my own fault.

I went to bed almost 1. Dh woke me up at 6, got back to sleep, then kids got up for stockings at 8. Can't complain about that. All good-the joy on the kids' face is great. Dh is sleeping now, and I'm tired, but caffeined up--and fighting a virus.... Not looking forward to travelling tomorrow.

I always feel out of the loop nowadays since my dd is 14 so I dont need to stay up all night putting toys together LOL and I dont have the kids that come jumping into the bed early in the morning to wake us up. So, I was in bed about 10:30pm and dd woke me up by just banging around in the kitchen at 7am

went to bed at 1am, DS got up at 430 and stayed in his room until 530ish. After opening presents, I took a nap until 930am when DH woke me up with breakfast!

Although I do miss the joy of Santa, I don't miss the getting up at 6:00am now that both DS's are older (13 and 20). I went to bed at 11:30 and and got up at 8. Then spent the remainder of the day in the kitchen cooking!

2 hours sleep, got up at 5:30, still no sleep!!!!!!!!!!

[pogiporkchop]

I went to bed at 1:30, DS got up sometime between 7:30 and 8 and curled up on the couch watching cartoons loudly. I asked him if Santa had been to our house and he said no so I told him he better look at the tree. Didn't take long for him to start begging to open presents

I can never sleep on Christmas eve, I'm worse than the kids. I went to be about 2 and woke them up at 5:30

[tiredmom214]

We went to bed at 4:30. Kids woke us up at 8. We were some grumpy people!

[tntsmomie]

We went to bed around 1130-12, woke up at 7 wondering why the house was so quiet! DD was awake, but sitting in bed with a on her face. DS was kind of groggy, but ready to see if Santa brought his big tractor toy. I'm sure if I give it few years, they'll be getting up earlier! I remember negotiating alarm times with my mom & brothers when I was a kid...I think we did 5am or something one year!

I slept in my niece's room this year (home for the holidays) and was expecting her to wake me up super early. I'm so glad that she slept in until 7
