Last week I decided I am in control here and started switching their feeding schedule so that they eat around 11:30 -12 midnight. The first few days were rough but for 4 nights now she sleeps through until 7-8 am. She still is having little fits when her old feeding times rolls around during the day and evening but I have not given in. It is so nice to sleep through the night again. |
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. Pippin will get off the bed and stand far enough away that I can't reach him. He will whine until I get up and get him some food. I feed him some oatmeal before I go to bed, but since he's been on prednisone he demands to be fed every 3-4 hours. About the time I get back into a good sleep its time to get up for work.
