| Don't know how much longer I can last I dearly love all my babies, all 5 of them; but, I am on the verge of cronic fatigue because I'm getting so little sleep. I know its our fault, DH and I have them all in bed with us, but it's me they want to snuggle up to. 2 of them sleep on my pillow over/on my head and the other 3 are under the cover at my back & legs. DH has sleep apena, so I guess his sleep contraption keeps them from snuggling to him. Anyway, I'm only getting 3 - 5 hrs of sleep at night, and that's with several wake-ups. We live in the country, so all of the night sounds wake them up. One barks, then all 5 of them are barking. I'm really open for suggestions; I'm soooo tired. And with all of this going on, I still check the paper & craigslist every day!

| aaawwww I do know what you are going through because all 3 of my babies sleep with me. Right now we are doing okay because hubby's not around so we got the bed to ourselves but when he comes back its going to be a adjustment all over again. I would try to put some beds on your floor and see if they will sleep in them. I know this is not much help because even though my babies are up on me all night I still do not have the heart to put them on the floor. Although Gabby sleeps where ever she's in the mood to sleep in....the bed, under the bed, her crate. |

| I agree. I have two and thats enough for this bed! I do however have their bed on the ground next to my bed. There are times I put them down there next to me instead of on my bed. They will adjust, especially if there all together |

| I feel for you, really I do. If I don't sleep everyone in my path pays the price. This is going to be hard for you but if it were me I would get a big donut bed and put them all on the floor! Sorry I know that's hurt's but you need to sleep to function during the day. They will have each other and I'm sure curl together for comfort and in a couple nights they won't care one way or the other. You will have your bed back and a good night's sleep and be ready to play with them when you wake up. You have to do what you have to do. I wouldn't hesitate. |

| I would never get any sleep that way either! Our two little ones sleep in their crates with their comfy, homemade pad and bumper pads that Sonja/Pocomutt made them with a nice little cover to block out the light and they sleep like a charm! The bigger one has a whole chaise lounge to herself! I would suggest moving them off the bed onto their own beds, you have to get rest!!

| Oh, no way!! I would give up sleeping all together before I did that. I guess I'm just a glutten for punishment. and DH would kill me if he knew I was checking the paper and craiglist.

| Hey Linda, I just posted a similar thread a few days ago because we are going through the same thing w/my three. I broke down and decided to put them in their crate at night because I knew if I tried to keep them in a bed next to my bed the barking and running around would continue and they would just be jumping into my bed anyway so I would be solving nothing! But so far so good w/the crate sleeping! I wish you luck, none of us including my children were getting much sleep!
