From The Confessional: ‘I Didn’t Sleep Train And Regret It’
14 parents tell the truth about their post-kids sleeping habits
Sleep... in case you can’t recall exactly what that word means, it’s the relaxing thing you used to do at night before you had kids. These days, whether it’s your children crawling into your bed or your husband snoring in your ear, there’s probably something making you want to grab your earplugs and head for the couch. Then again, maybe those night-time cuddles with your little ones are actually the best part of your day. Either way, here’s hoping you’ll get just a little more actual sleep with each passing year.

I pick 3 nights a week to sleep on the couch away from hubs. It’s so comfy and I sleep amazingly.
