Back when I was working, 6 hours of sleep was standard fare. Combine that with constant interrupted sleep between Alex teething and Ben feeling the need for company and my sleep bank was grossly depleted. Some days it was a struggle to stay awake on the long commute to and from work. Since we've lived in Rifle, I've done much better on sleep but it's still been a rare night when one of the kids hasn't woken me up at some ungodly hour for one reason or another.
And then came the bunk bed - this has been the magic recipe for getting Ben to stay in his bed all night and Alex to sleep more soundly. Finally, with 3 more months until this baby comes (and once again turns my sleeping world upside down), I am enjoying long and peaceful slumbers. I'm making up for all those years of sleep deprivation and storing up for the years to come.
Bunkbeds!! What a great solution! I'm recommending this to everyone!!!! Enjoy the last zzzzz's before the baby comes!!
