DST during OT period
« on: October 30, 2008, 16:38:22 pm »
I am totally fearing DST this weekend as my son is in an OT cycle. Sunday I made the mistake of going out before his nap to a pumpkin patch with friends (silly me for wanting to get out!) and expecting him to sleep in the car for his nap which caused a 40 min nap thus the beginning of an OT cycle. I was planning on moving his routine out tonight and tomorrow night but with him being OT we are now going to bed at 6:30 instead of 7:30. How do I do it so he is not even more OT when the clocks go back?
Here is his "usual" routine (and I use usual lightly as he is super inconsistent!)
7am wake
12:30-2 nap (has always preferred longer nights much to my chagrin)
7:15/30 bed (usually sleeps only 11.5)

The last few days have gone like this due to OT
6:30 wake
12:30 nap (at daycare so can't change) yesterday 45 mins the day before 1 hour 15
6:30/45 bedtime (1 NW each night since Sunday due to OT)
Anyone ???

At least we'll be up at 5:30 am unlike last year at 4am!

Anyone else?

Funny you should ask as I just posted a whole sob story in an old post of mine  :'(. Not good overall but at least today he didn't wake at 5:15am like yesterday but slept until 6:25am. I just went about the day like usual as I couldn't keep things straight. Thanks for asking though!

Hi!  Trying to bump this up as I am in the same boat!  Dd is already in an OT cycle before the time change.

Now we are completed one hour shifted UP in our day.  She wakes at 6 am and is in bed by 6 pm and I"m stuck and still fighting an OT monster!

Help someone we need advise!
