It’s Tough Being a Night Owl
I’m most productive at from about 2-4am.
When you say that people look at you like you’re a few jacks full of a short deck. Then they try to cover it real quick with something like, “Oh, I’m a night owl too. Sometimes I stay up until midnight.”
Midnight? Really? You think that makes you a night owl? Sometimes I take naps until midnight.
But, when you’re a mom to an adorable four year old, this doesn’t work out so well. When you go to bed at five, and your kiddo wakes up at nine this does not a full night of sleep make.
So, fellow night owls–how do you cope?
Have a Nice Day and Watch out for the Big Yellow Chicken.

I’m a mother of 2; 4yr old and a 1 1/2yr old. The youngest ALWAYS naps but the other doesn’t. I usually place him on the foot of the couch with a movie and it’s “quiet time” while his sister naps. So I get a few minutes of rest then.
Then as soon as the kids go to bed, I do too! This can be anywhere between 7 – 10pm. I wake around midnight everynight, and do whatever needs to be done online, around the house, etc until about 4 or 5am…then back to bed til about 8 or 9 when the kids wake.
So I normally get anywhere from 2-4 hours at a time, but still averages about 8 hours in a day.
