If I can ask; what about when, such as here in the UK at this time of year, sunrise is 04:45 and it's not dark till gone 22:00? (Our bedroom is west facing so if it's not cloudy, we have blinding sun through the window till sunset). The more I learn about circadian biology, the more important I understand it to be and the more I attempt to build our life in rhythm with it... but I just can't be doing with getting no personal time in either the early morning or late night if my 3 year old is awake with the sun 😅

I have been slipping into a different pattern as the days get warmer… napping during the hot hours (my 2 year old has been taking like 3 hour naps, AC set on 77, no curtains, blinds open) and even my 5 year old has been napping some. I try to wake him after 45 mins max. And I’m pregnant so definitely napping lol… the kids have been staying up later at night, which I don’t even mind… though my husband is not on board. He’s a landscaper so long hours in the heat and he’s so tired, half the time he’s in bed before all the kids are, so that is really hard to balance.
