Hi! I'm a mother of two. I am also very dependent on sleep. I sleep when my kids sleep. We keep a set bedtime and I lay down for the night when they do. We also have them stay in their beds in the morning until a certain time. This gives me a 10ish hour of window for sleep.

I usually get up in the night if one of the kids wakes up. If it gets to be more than once my husband will help.

We also do a two hour rest time every day. They have to lay down and sleep or do something quiet in their rooms. If I had a broken night of sleep or I'm just super tired I take a quick nap during this time.

I'm a stay at home homeschooling mom, so the kids are my main focus every day. It gets stressful at times, but we have a good schedule and found our groove. I plan ahead as much as possible and make sure to keep everyone busy. I find things mostly fall apart when boredom sets in.
