Who needs sleep?!?! Apparently Cherry Blossom and I do not. Cherry Blossom and I have both have had a hard time adjusting to the new time zone. The Rock decided to go back to work on Monday so we were on our own with little sleep. I could not make myself go to bed before midnight and Cherry Blossom could not make her body sleep past 1:30 am, which meant she woke up screaming "mama" and I was up with her from 1:30 am until her nap. When I did lay her down for a nap I was out too trying to recover. When my alarm would go off I had a hard time getting her to wake up. It was like she was in her deep sleep cycle during the day and her nap time cycle at night. U.S. vs. China time zones.
This was not going to work and we needed to figure something out. The Rock let me sleep Tuesday night and got up with her instead. We then quit giving her naps, which was hard for me since I was also missing out on one! I kept her busy by going shopping and keeping her out in the sun.
On Thursday night an amazing thing happened......she slept the entire night! Yesterday I rewarded her by letting her take a nap and then she slept through last night too. I'm hoping we have finally turned a corner and our Cherry Blossom now knows when she is supposed to sleep.
Even though I did keep her busy on outings she still found ways to catch some Zzzzz's.
