This has been a bad week for sleeping. Jerry had a fever last weekend, so
he didn't sleep well on Saturday night. That led to Eriko and I sleeping poorly and being a little short with each other. I had Jerry for the day, so he had lots of time to share his cold with me.
Then comes Sunday night - Jerry couldn't sleep well and neither could I. I spent most of the night holding him in one position or another and probably got about 2 hours of sleep, at best. There has only been one night this week where I had 6 hours of sleep (and they weren't interrupted, of course.) The average has probably been more like 4.
Part of this is my fault - Jerry will go to bed about 9 and I'll stay up for another 2-3 hours (as will Eriko) enjoying some time for myself. Jerry will sleep until about 1 or 2. If I'm lucky, it has only taken about an hour to get him back to sleep (via bouncing, walking, holding, etc.) One night he decided it was time to play, so it took close to 3 hours to get him back to sleep. Last night I laid with him to help him sleep (which it did) but it didn't really help me.
I don't think I've slept for 6+ hours straight in almost two years...
