Linda says...

One more thing. Who says 8 hours of solitary uninterrupted sleep is (1)
normal, (2) healthy, or even (3) possible?  I'm 50 years old, not trying to
double my weight, and I wake up every 3-4 hours at night. I sleep with
another human, two dogs, and occasionally a cat. So what? Does that mean
I've failed to meet some standard of "Sleep Excellency?"

Right on Linda.  I also wake,...and eat every 2 or so hours ( oh well, I
can't help it...even if it is only tea...)....I think that there are those
professionals and others who hold babies to a certain standard so that they
won't interfere too much with the lives of their adult parents.  Rules rules
rules. Yuck Yuck Yuck.
