Barbara O'Neill argues that sleep before midnight matters more than staying up late to work after kids are in bed. She shares her own routine of waking early to exercise, recommends keeping water and mineral salt by your bed, and emphasizes movement like trampolining and biking with babies as part of daily health.
A lot of mothers, when the kids go to sleep, then they do their work. Nah, nah, nah, nah. You access those hours before midnight, please go to bed early. I used to breastfeed my babies to sleep, and I usually stayed asleep with them, and that allowed me to get up early and often. You've got an hour or two. What you do then compared to what you would do before midnight? Get twice as much done, keep hydrated, go to bed with a glass of water next to your bed. I see you've got the Baja salt there with all of its minerals and exercise. Get outside, get on that trampoline with the kids, get a bike and ride the bike. Put the baby in the backpack. Movement and food is very important.
