Manic Monday: Formula
Manic Monday by: It’s a Blog Eat Blog World
So last night was different - slightly. Instead of waking at 4, Gus woke up around 12:30. Instead of coming into our room, he went to the bathroom, got a drink of water, and went peacefully back to bed (with a bit of guidance of course). So what was the formula that allowed us to get a little more sleep?
Two parts of the equation changed last night. First, he got lots of exercise late in the day. He rode his bike and played out back with (near, around) a bunch of other children. The other variable was that I did his therapeutic (Wilbarger) brushing last night before bed. Now to find out which one was the magic ingredient to our sleep formula.
We’ll have to do some testing, trying one without the other for a couple of nights. Personally, I think that the brushing might be the key. At least I’m hoping that’s it. With winter fast approaching, getting Gus out in the evening will be tough. So, here’s to a simple solution to our sleep problem!
And the irony? He finally slept and this morning I had to be up at 4:45 for work. The universe has a great sense of humor.
Good you got some sleep! Hopefully you figure out the magic formula tonight! Thanks for stopping by. I replied to your question in comments on my blog.
