Parents won't let me take a nap?
I'm 15 & a girl, and I'm a sophomore in highschool. I always go to bed at 9 or 10, and wake up at 5 a.m., and I am not tired. But school makes me tired. Right now I have all A's in school. I'm studying hard as I can, but when I get home, I take a nap and my parents yell at me for taking a nap after school. Like, they don't even realize school makes me tired, and the fact I have classes like digital communicstions, chemistry, and advanced classes (I take 12th grade math). And they ssay I should go to bed earlier but I can't cuz ee always eat dinner at 7 or 8. I can barely keep my eyes open durong the day cuz I have such hard classes, but I have A in them. And they don't understand that school is harder now then it was when they were in high school. Theu yell at me for sleeping for only 2 -3 hours after school, help??
11 month old won't nap?
My son will be 11 months old next week, and all of a sudden (as in the last two days) he has started REFUSING to nap. I don't know what is going on, but I'm losing my mind. Typically he will sleep about 10 1/2 hours at night, then he will take 2 naps during the day, ranging from 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Then yesterday, his naps dropped to about 45 minutes each. I figured it was just a fluke, an off day, but then today his first nap was only a half hour, and I laid him down for his second nap 20 minutes ago or so. He slept for 10 minutes, then woke up and refuses to go back to sleep. Can anyone offer me some insight? Has this happened to any of you? My son is very high maintenance so I can't get anything done (like chores) when he's awake. If he only naps an hour a day, I don't have a prayer of getting my chores done! He seems like he's tired - he starts to get cranky, which is how he's always been when he needs a nap, but for whatever reason he just doesn't want to sleep. Because his naps have been so short, he's waking up from his second nap much earlier than usual and trying to keep him up and happy until bed time is very difficult - he gets exceedingly whiny and cranky because he's over-tired. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
My mom wont let me take naps or sleep in?
I don't know what her bias is for restricting you from sleeping, but I have a good idea: many successful people don't sleep much. Many highly productive people sleep 4-6 hours a night, and they spend most of there time working. Thomas Edison for example, would only sleep 4 hours a day, Donald Trump, sleeps 5 hours a day, and Einstein lacked sleep many days. People who tend to sleep more, are more laid back, and relaxed. People who sleep too much are too lazy. Overall I believe your mom may be restricting you from sleeping because she may believe it will benefit you with your success. Although, this is not true. Being successful is not a matter of how much you sleep, it is a matter of your motivation and commitment. I would ask your mom why she feels it is necessary for you to lack sleep, and when she gives you some bullSh!t answer, "Because I said so, I'm the parent." Or whatever goofy answer, argue with her and find out why you need to sleep to her schedule. Then tell her it is bullshit
My baby only takes a nap in a baby sling?
At this very young age, you Do what works, Momma! I know a couple who had to run the vacuum to get their kiddo to sleep, another who had to drive him around in the car, and another who had to put his car seat on the dryer!!! So you are getting off easy!! Five weeks is very young. As your baby grows and develops abilities such as rolling or crawling, his preferences may change and you may not have him in the sling as much. I would wait it out until your baby is more like three months old. See how things develop...five weeks is still very much an infant, and imho infants do not need to be "left to cry" even for a short time. Sounds like You are doing a great job, momma! Keep paying attention to his needs and likes and the two of you will work it out! J
Parents wont let me take naps?
I know it's wierd, but they don't allow me to take naps... Usually when I come hme from school, I do a few chores then fall asleep on the couch for about 2 hours. Now that my mom stays home, I get splashed in the face with water if I try to take a short nap. This is not only on school days, but any day that I'm feeling tired they won't let me take a short nap. And their excuse for this is that they think "I'm on drugs because I'm always sleeping". I don't understand them... I know this is a wierd question, but I just need advice because my parents do things like this all the time and it really irritates me. 15 year old guy btw.
Is it okay to nap while babysitting?
As long as the baby is in his or her own bed and you're asleep even on the floor in the same room just to shut your eyes a little that's no big deal. You want to be near by so you can hear the baby a little nap won't hurt you or the baby. I suggest the same room because not always is your mind trained to the baby monitor or alarm really especially if you're tired. A little nap is better then watching the baby while way to tired to function
How can you train an 8-month-old baby to sleep if he won't lie down? I put him on the bed but he sits up, stands or crawls all over and refuses to nap.
At night my best tactic was to go to sleep with them. My sleeping schedule for them included me :). And for the afternoon nap I used to take them in my arms, sing them a lullaby, rock them for 5 minutes, and they invariably fell asleep like puppies. Then I used to leave them on the bed, well tucked, and let them sleep for an hour or two while I did other things. It’s the best sleeping “trick” for almost all the children I know - I used it successfully with my nephews and niece, and with other friends’ babies too.Why? Because we humans are mammals, and our babies are no exception. They have biological reactions for certain stimuli and one of them is wanting to feel secure by day or by night because they know that they are defenceless without their mother. That is why they need to feel their mother near every time they go to sleep in the first years. All mammals sleep with their cubs. Chimpanzees moms sleep with their cub during the first 4 years. Humans have similar sleeping and surviving patterns. That is why your baby will always want to sleep with you. “Training” him into sleeping alone won’t help too much. But sleeping with him and being calm and kind might do the trick.
