About 6 I'm up at half five every morning so depending on when I skid into my pit dictates how much kip I take. Always feel like shit first thing though
NOTHING prepares you for lack of sleep with a baby.
Even if people think only need feeding every 4 hours so get them off at say 10pm give em a feed at 2 and in the morning at 6 when get up.
In reality:
9/10 pm Try to get them off to sleep. 12am - get them off to sleep. 2am - they wake for an early feed. 3 am - finish their feed. 4 am - finally get them back to sleep after their feed 6 am - another feed and off to work.

It was like this at the start and real graft but shes 7 weeks now and feeds at 12 and sleeps through till i get up for work. Guess we've been really lucky she likes her kip!

Cheers for that! I'm torn between as many lie ins as possible now while I can, or starting ti train myself into getting up early!
I often took the night shifts when ours was little as thought it easier to be me tired at work then for the missus to be shattered and then trying to look after him all day as well.
Then I inadvertently bought up a load of sub prime mortgage portfolios on behalf of RBS and everyone got the hump.
bed at 10.30/11, get up 6.30... as for sleep, that very much depends on the baby. some night, I'll be lucky to get 3 hours in total. teething/colds/feeding. It never ends

When we had our first child I finally understood why sleep deprivation was the torture of choice for Stalin's secret police. I'd have confessed to anything just to get a couple of hours.
As a student it currently fluctuates depending on my workload, right now I've spent only about 5 hours sleeping as I've got so much to get done. During quiet periods I've been known to sleep 12-13 hours.

(Probably why I'm always Miserable......)
I don't think that we can presume that it's lack of sleep that leads to poor health. Perhaps poor health leads to a poor sleep pattern.
