That's an interesting factoid. I don't recall being under the influence of anything yet I almost rolled over on my daughter while deeply asleep. Luckily my husband is a light sleeper. One and only time she was in our bed that little. Now if she's sick and needs daddy (daddy's girl since birth)to sleep I either sleep as far away as I can or sleep on the couch and have her sleep in my spot.


As for OP I'd say don't babysit on school nights. I had a similar issue at 17. I was a live in babysitter for this woman's 4 kids. 2 went to school but the 2 younger were with me all day. She wanted me to wake up and keep up her daughter by 8 am but she wouldn't make her go to bed till she crashed which was 2-3 am most nights. And when I finally just took over duties completely for a week and got her on a schedule I took 2 nights off to go visit family and she got it all messed up again. I quit after that. You and the mom need to talk and get on the same page. If you can't I'd decline to babysit on nights you need to sleep
