Need some P&Pts - sleep issues

maestra wrote: Jaci started having night terrors again about a month ago, so she switched days and nights again. I haven't been getting much sleep, but dh figured out a routine. Then, this morning she only slept 2 hours for him. She took a nap from 1:30 to 5, and is really tired. I'm hoping that tonight she will want to go to sleep around 10, her old bed time. Could this be her way of switching back?

God, I hope so.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm hoping (for your sake) that she is switching back. That is very difficult to go through. Maddie went through that, too. I will say a prayer for you tonight that she falls asleep at her old bedtime and is night terror free from now on.

coasterqueen replied: I hope she's switching back! Pt's coming your way that you both get some sleep at a decent time .

kimberley replied: ((((hugs)))) that must be so hard on both of you. James had night terrors too and they were scary i hope this is her way of switching night and day back to normal. sending lots of ~~sleepy vibes~~ tonight.

A&A'smommy replied: ((((BIG HUGS)))) I hope she will be able to get some sleep tonight, so ya'll can get some too!!

kit_kats_mom replied: That just blows! I'm sorry that you guys are having to deal with that. Yuck.

I hope she is able to get back in sync quickly.

MommyToAshley replied: Poor Jaci -- I hope the night terrors are gone for good and that she gets back to her old schedule for both your sake. I bet that is scarey when she gets one of the night terrors.

maestra replied: Well, I ended up putting her back down at 7:30. She cried the whole 2.5 hours she was awake. I can't sleep yet, so I'll really be in for it later tonight. Oh well.

Night terrors are terrible! When she gets them, she just cries and cries and there is nothing we can do to console her. It takes about 30 minutes to get her to calm down, then forget about getting her back to sleep. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.

MommyToAshley replied:
I am so sorry, I can only imagine how hard that must be. I heard that there is nothing you can do about them either, except to let them grow out of them.

Poor Jaci and Mom!

mama3x replied: I am so sorry Jaci's having such a hard time with those terrors...it's harder on the adults I think because of the loss of sleep combined with your emotions for your child. Sending what vibes I can to your household...take care!

Josie83 replied: Sorry you're having a hard time, I hope you have a bit better luck in the days to come! You're in my htoughts! xx

Gatalita replied: Sorry u and ur daughter have to go through that; it must be difficult for u both. But, one thing that helped me as a kid when I had night terrors was that my mom gave me something warm to drink. I usually had warm milk b/c I really didn't like decaf tea like my sister does. Mind u I also pretended to have a night terror at night just to get it, untill my parents caught on . They somehow knew when I really had a bad dream and when I didn't after I tried getting it w/o a bad dream the first couple of times. I didn't like that too much.
