Sleeping

Finally after two weeks I thought we had gotten back into a good routine. But Squeaker had other things in mind, and I tell ya 3am is too early for anything.
About two weeks ago Squeaker had a sleep study. The night started out okay. She fell asleep pretty easily and then all the electrodes went on. Yes she slept through it. The tech waited to put the nose sensor in until Squeaker was in a deep sleep. Within seconds Squeaker was awake kicking and screaming. I calmed her back to sleep and the tech tried again. After four tries Squeaker was stressed out had realized all the other stuff stuck to her and wanted it all off.
Squeaker kicked , screamed, thrashed and begged for it too all be over for over an hour. It was very rough and sad. At 2:30 am the doctor ordered the test terminated. Off came all the electrodes and straps, then Squeaker ran to the car in excitement to go home. 3am and we were home. It was way too early to be home :(
The other night Squeaker just had a rough night. It took a long time for her to fall asleep and she tossed a lot. I had no idea what was happening or how to help. So I just snuggled up and went to sleep. 3am and Squeaker woke up and never went back to sleep. It was way too early to be up.
