Re: Sleep
I'm lucky if I get 3 or 4 hours of sleep because of the kids. Maya is going through some major teething right now. Since she sleeps next to me she is nursing all night. So my 3 hours or so of sleep are broken and not restful.
Blushing Vision you can get a full nights sleep with a baby if you sleep train the baby. Because I chose to nurse and co-sleep I'm setting myself up for no sleep. But if you keep baby in a crib and let the baby cry-it-out, then you can train the baby to sleep through the night. Maya used to sleep 7 hours straight at 3 months old but teething happened and I started to bring her in the bed.
I think in general people in Pakistan get more sleep. In summer, they inside and take an afternoon nap. American industries would break down if we all had to take a nap.
