Up at 5 to get on train for 2 hour ride to clientco every monday morning, then sleep near clientco all week. Arrived late this morning due to heavy snowfall in eastern Holland and 1.5 hour drive to go 12 kms to the station.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

I am up at 4:30am most days, but only because baby refuses to sleep later, no matter what I try. I quite like it now, gives me a chance to put a bit of slap on before work at least.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

7am is the earliest I can manage and even then it is bloomin' hard work to get out of bed.

Anyway, set your alarm for 45 mins before baby normally wakes (ours used to wake at 4:00 every morning) Disturb them somehow, but don't wake them, sneaking in the room and stroking her hair used to work for ours, then go back to bed. Do this for 3 days in total, and hopefully they'll sleep past their normal wakeup routine. It's all about disturbing the set routine apparently. We've now got a little girl who goes 7pm-7am, thankfully.Comment
