I guess I would just try a couple different things to see what works. Hey Stacy,

I couldn't agree more that getting enough sleep is ESSENTIAL to feeling well and happy during the day! My husband and I negotiated with night time/early waking with our toddler. He understands that when I don't get enough sleep I'm NO FUN to be with so he works hard to help me get what I need. I often coach my clients that after they have to decide what they need to feel at their best then need to communicate that and negotiate with important others. While sometimes that can be challenging to do, it is well worth facing that fear and moving through it! I rank sufficient sleep up there as one of THE most important things I do/need in my life.
