Sleep has always been an interesting thing in our house, because it rarely happens. Joel is a chronic insomniac. He rarely ever gets a good night sleep. I can and always could fall asleep at the drop of a hat, anywhere and anytime. Both of my kids were horrible sleepers as babies - Maddie worse than Dylan. I don't honestly know how I survived on such little sleep. Dylan as a child has not had much trouble with sleeping, other than he likes to get up early, but I do too so I don't blame him. Maddie, as she has gotten older has become a much better sleeper - sleeping at times 11-12 hours a night. Lately though she's caught a case of the insomnia from Joel (yes, I know it's not contagious, don't lecture me). Once she falls asleep, she's good for the rest of the night, it's just that 1.5-2 hours after she goes to bed that she just tosses and turns. Makes for fun times for everyone. She cries too, because she IS tired, she just can't seem to fall asleep. All the usual tricks aren't working for her. At first I blamed it on accidentally drinkiing some soda with caffeine, but that was DAYS ago. The effect of caffeine doesn't last THAT long, even I know that. Hopefully this will all go away in a day or two, because it's getting old super fast.
