I just had six days with grandchildren 2 & 6 (parents were in Alaska) and I have no idea how I did this before.

The first half a year nearly broke me. I haven’t entirely recovered, seven years on. Sleep dep is the great enemy.
Mine was rock solid from 6 months to almost 3 years, when latent ADHD broke the spell and laid low my highly disciplined bedtime regimen.
My kid is the morning lark to my night owl, fully time blind, restless to the point of disability, and haunted by bad dreams. I’ve got no right answers to that. Bags under his eyes at seven. Wish I knew how to improve his sleep to how it was 5 years ago. He used to sleep like a rock from 7pm to 7am, every single night, even if I had loud guests. I miss it.

For both you and him. I’ve got a severe circadian rhythm disorder- that’s absolutely brutal. 🫂
