    I'd like the girls to get up later but they seem to fuss around 5:30 and my DH holds them off with a binki until 6:45am and then I feed them.

    What time do you go to bed. I go usually between 10 and 11.

    Our day usually starts around 630 since the girls go to bed at 630 pm.

    I really should go to bed earlier because Im exhausted, usually end up in bed around 11 or so though every single night I swear that Im going to bed at 8 [​IMG]

    Our day usually starts between 6:30 and 7. Lately though Josie has been waking up before 6, but I think it's because she has a nasty cold. Hopefully once the cold goes away she'll go back to sleeping until 6:30 or 7.

    I'm usually in bed between 9:30 and 10. Sometimes on the weekends when I know dh will be there to help the next day I'll stay up a little bit later.

    My little girls go to bed at 7. I go to bed around 10:30/11 & we start our day around 7-7:30.
    Now, if only my 2.5 year old would go to bed earlier.....

    Our day starts when daddy's alarm goes off at about 5:30. I can usually hold them off until he leaves for work at about 6:45. We go to bed between 10-11 and the girls won't sleep unless we are too.

    I wake the girls up at 6:30 so my husband can help with the feeding and hang out with them while I shower and set up for the day before he leaves at 7:45. The girls are in bed around 9 and I go to bed about 10:30 (later on weekends because we let the girls sleep and they usually don't wake up till about 7:30).

    Our day also starts between 6:30-7. For awhile there though they were getting up at 5:30. ughh! Luckily that was a phase. They go to bed at 7/7:30, and do still have waking episodes thru the night. I'm usually pretty exhausted and in bed by 10 at the latest. I find if I don't go to bed by 10 I'm worthless the next day and not a fun mommy!

    mine have been waking at 5:30 lately but since i am way to tired, i move them to their swing and they are good there for about a half hour and then i get up and move them to their crib to play and they were good there until my son began to roll over and cry when he gets on his stomache so that does not work anymore.

    Just the other day i put their favorite movie on caled 'calm baby'. I may have them start their day by watching that if this 5:30 continues...keep in mind they are both waking 1-2 times each per night!!

    They go to bed by about 7 and we go anywhere between 9-10:30

    Ours typically get up between 7 and 7:30, but lately one has decided that 6 is morning (even though she's not done sleeping and then is just crabby until I finally get her back down for a nap).

    In theory we go to bed around 10, but lately we've been crashing whenever we manage to get the girls down (we're struggling with serial wake-ups at bedtime around here) -- last night was 8!

    My day started about 8 weeks ago, I'll let you know when I go to bed! LOL! Just kidding!

    Ours go down after their 9pm bottle (we tried putting them down earlier, didn't work) and get up at 12am, 3am to feed and up for the day at 5:30.
    I usually try to lie down by 10 if not I just wait up till after the 12am feeding. I usually get up in the morning with them, DH does if I take the 3am feeding.

    Our day starts around 7 or so. Lately, they have been waking around 6:15 but they "talk" in their cribs until I get them. They go to bed between 7 and 8.

    Usually around 7-ish, but for the last 2 mornings they've been up at 5:30. It's "Night of the Living Dead" over here, I look like a zombie!

    My day usually starts around 6. I try to put off going into the nursery until as close to 6:30 as I can, depending on whether they are happily babbling or starting to whine. Lately they've been getting up a bit earlier again so I'm listening to them from 5:30 or so and getting in there around 6. Their last bottle is at 6:30 and for a while there they were asleep around 7 or at least by 7:30. For the past few weeks however bedtime is a bit of a problem and we can't seem to really get them down until after 8; I always say I'm going to go to sleep around 9:30 and it ends up being nearer to 11. I'm also getting up a lot during the night again lately, much to my dismay.

    Our day starts between 8 and 9. The babies are in bed between 8 and 9 at night with our older DD soon after. I confess, I tend to be more of a night owl. Like Nikki I always have great intentions of going to bed earlier, but usually go down around 11 or so.

    First off, I am a SAHM for only 1 1/2 months more! [​IMG] Our day starts at 6. (I'm so jealous of those of you that begin your days at 7+) THey often are awake talking in their cribs before then. They are asleep usually between 6-7 p.m. I try to go to sleep by 9.

    They are still waking in the night.

    Our day normally begins in the 7 o'clock hour. I like for it to be between 7:30-8:00. I go to bed sometime between 10 and 11. We dreamfeed them and then go straight to bed. I enjoy going to bed early and some nights it is torture just to stay up until 10pm.

    Currently I go to be at around midnight but usually don't get some really good sleep until 5 a.m.....then I get up at 6 and if I am lucky can sleep from 7 until 9. I am getting used to no sleep. The girls are HORRIBLE sleepers. They get up every 2-3 hours IF I can get them to go to sleep. I will be happy when they no longer need their iron. I have tried cereal, too...in case anyone was wondering... and formula. Any ideas???

    I swear, ever since the clocks went back they never adjusted to the morning wake up. They are usually asleep by 7:30 but they are still waking between 5:30 and 6 (they use to wake up between 6:30 and 7). It makes me CRAZY!!! I figure until the clocks spring ahead, 5 :30 will be when our day starts [​IMG] I usually go to bed by 10. In fact, this is my last post of the day as it's bed time YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!!

    They usually get up between 6 and 7. But they are up and down all night usually once an hour! I go to bed around 10 every night. I have epilepsy that is brought on by lack of sleep so i grab as many naps a day as i can!! x

    We usually start our day at 7 a.m. and they don't have a consistent set bedtime yet, but we are trying for 8:30 with a dreamfeed at 10:00. They are really good sleepers at night and usually wake only once for a bottle. I try to be in bed by 11:00.
