Comparing notes on those two surveys I had up, I think
\nanyone can draw some fairly interesting conclusions albeit unsurprising
\nones. So let’s talk through the polls and walk through my wandering
\nmind.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first poll<\/a> had 89 voters with 48 of you stating that you
\nneeded 8-9 hours of sleep to be fully rested. The second poll<\/a> had 91 voters
\nwith 65 of you stating that you really only get 5-7 hours of sleep. That seems
\nto hint at a bunch of sleep-deprived people who know it.<\/p>\n

I guess I can make up whatever reason why folk aren’t
\ngetting their optimal rest. I know my wife’s reason has to do with breast
\nfeeding, an infant and a husband who can sleep through Armageddon if he shuts
\nhis eyes. I can make something up but I won’t.<\/p>\n

I could ask people what they’re doing that keeps them up but
\nthere’s so many options to that, how can I limit it on a poll. Maybe put
\n“entertainment” and “study” and “working” as the three options although a guy
\nwho has a bladder problem is grudgingly going to vote for “working”.<\/p>\n

And work is such a relative term really. I mean, I
\nknow…people…who have been looking for work and sending out resumes at night and
\nthey’re not really working on anything but a change of jobs, state and life.
\nSure that’s work but it’s also study because there’s a ton of research going on
\nwhile that’s happening which may result in the occasional lapse of posting on
\nhis study site. And studying the Bible is also some serious work and yet, it’s
\nentertainment too (in some sense of the word) where a person is sitting there
\nwith wide eyes and gaping mouth as yet another nugget is revealed.<\/p>\n

I’ll tell you what’s not entertaining but downright scary
\nstudious work: researching baby products. I mean, lots of parents don’t
\nconsider the things they get the first time around buying every product that
\nhelps keep their eyes on their kid or keep her stimulated in the hopes of some
\nsuper-genius brain jumps. Even being a cynic and an insane researcher (with a
\nwife who gladly joins in) we still wound up falling for stuff. <\/p>\n

For one: that stupid little mirror thing<\/a> that you’re
\nsupposed to suction to your rear window so you can see Baby not realizing that
\nyou just created the perfect death-flying-projectile towards Baby’s rear-facing-face
\nduring a car accident. Another thing was Baby Einstein<\/a>. Oh okay, fine we didn’t fall for it in the
\nhopes of causing brain development but because we thought it was so cool taking
\ncolors and shapes and combining them with classical music: that would make us
\nArt Geeks too so leave that be. <\/p>\n

Anyway, some time ago my wife wasn’t sleeping at all with
\nour daughter refusing to be anywhere but her comforting arms. That sounds
\npretty and sweet and all, but when a person is going on little to no sleep, has
\na toddler to entertain in the daytime and a husband who is out of the home—that
\nbecomes a Horror. So we were looking for a baby swing that had some variation
\nwith rocking (side to side and front and back). This thing (the Ocean Wonder<\/a>…sweet) was fairly safe
\n(unlike those scary sling\/swing things<\/a> that parents hang on their door) yet we also
\nknew it wasn’t completely safe. Once my daughter could pull herself up it would
\nbe a problem (thus the search for a great mattress<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Nothing happened so don’t expect that from this
\nstory. She has long left the swing and now sleeps in the crib…but back then, what
\ndid happen was sweet sleep.  My wife embraced it, I reveled in it, my son didn’t
\neven know it had changed. Sleep happened and now my wife gets a fulfilling
\nthree hours of sleep before having a break to her next two hour sleep then her
\nnext 1 hour sleep. Me I get a full six and a half hours of sleep (to her
\nextreme chagrin I know).<\/p>\n

So as I look over the notes of my surveys I really don’t get
\nmuch do I? I mean, it could mean very little or much. Well either way, good
\nnight. Or good morning. Oh whatever. Sleep well.<\/p>\n

Update:
\nSomeone asked me "how do parents ‘fall’ for Baby Einstein products?" I
\nguess I didn’t flesh that out. Some parents go out of their way buying
\nthese tv products in the hopes of making their child a genius. Sorry,
\nthat’s not gonna do it. Genetics plays a part, as much as healthy
\nplaying, interactive education and the grace of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
