At half past six in the morning Jess takes a soothing warm bath, and somewhere to sleep again after seven. Of course, if you're lucky.
"There were times when Jesse slept only one or two hours a day - says Tanya. - And once fell asleep as much as 36 hours. Ironically, my daughter was just an exemplary child somewhere in the six months to a year. I have aware that she slept at night, never cried and did not wake my husband. This young parents in fact can only dream of. And in a year, she learned to walk and do all sorts of funny actions. pretended to eat or drink. She laughed, played with imaginary friends. And almost ceased to sleep. As if this need she just disappeared. Well, we could not sleep, knowing that our baby is awake and engaged in what is unknown. Come and watch us at night. "

"It is extremely rare insomnia in children, - says Director of the Center for the study of sleep disorders at the University of Loughborough, Professor Paul Morgan. - Sometimes it's due to the fact that they simply are not trained to discipline sleep. Children, of course, are born with the need for sleep and with the desire to sleep. But they did not initially programmed to sleep at some specific clock for this they need to teach adults. The same applies to the duration of sleep. Eventually all the kids sleep longer. "
