To wake her up or not?

DD is 16 months. She had been an AMAZING sleeper until about 3-4 weeks ago. I actually got her to bed at 1am instead of 4 am (her old sleep schedule was 8:30) and I didn't give her a nap. She crashed out in the car at 5pm and is STILL asleep.... do you think I should let her continue to sleep in hopes she wakes up early tomorrow morning, or do you think I should wake her up now and see if she goes to sleep at a decent time? It's already almost 8pm here.

Hmm that's a toughy cause if you wake her up she probably wont go to sleep till like 2am but then if you don't wake her up she'll probably wake up at like 3 or 4am.

I'd wake her, but only because I like to sleep in.. I would hate to wake up at 3 or 4 am

Yeah... if I get her up, she'll either go to bed around 10, or not until 4 lol

I LIKE sleep, but I HATE that i can't get smurf done when I do sleep past 9. However, when I return to work in a few months, I won't get off work until 12 or 1 AM. So I don't know if I should try to get her up early or not.... either way, she's been going to bed between 2-5 am and getting up at 1-3 pm... And I just don't feel that is healthy.

It's 8 pm? I wouldnt wake her up.

And be prepared for the possibility of an extremely early morning lol

My super model friend Jenine told
Me to never wake a sleeping baby!!! She's growing! I have a large kid that slept for like 24 hours. I'm not joking.

That's what I am thinking... I think it would be MUCH easier to keep her UP until a decent bedtime rather than trying to force her to SLEEP at a decent bedtime like I have the last 4 weeks... it's KILLING me! I can handle another sleepless day.... but I can't handle another month of screaming hours at bedtime...and losing. lol

Oh wow, how old is she?

16 months... she did wake up on her own though... here's to hoping for better nights *ugh*

Oh that's tough! Try getting her on a schedule. It may take a couple nights but start a bedtime routine so she will sleep a regular schedule. My 21 month old sleeps 830pm-9am and takes 1 nap around 130 till about 3.. But I had to get him on a schedule

AH HA HA HA HA HA!!! Every time someone says "get them on a schedule" it's like a punch in the face. She was ON a schedule until this last month. She was AMAZING at it... 100% perfect.... I've been trying for almost a MONTH and NOTHING has worked... lol

Ha ha I'm sure it is. The last person who said that to me thought they were being rude. Must be my reaction. lol It's like telling a fat person a diet to lose weight!! lol

Yknow, sometimes you just gotta ride it out.  

My daughter sleeps like smurf by times and nothing I do seems to help! It can be very frustrating.
