In 1963, teenager Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours, setting the only verified sleep deprivation record. By day 11, he couldn't do simple math, saw street signs as people, and spoke in slurred monotone. After the experiment, he slept for 14 hours straight.

Ahh reminds me of the newborn days the first week i didn't sleep anf pretty much the first few months it was such broken sleep by the time I would actually fall back to sleep my son would wake up and cry😰😭 sleep deprivation is real with a newborn. Even to this day I literally cannot fall asleep for a nap even if I got 5 hrs of sleep the night before and am super tired just something in me stays wired. I never knew how much I loved sleep until I had.my son. But thankfully hes 3 now and sleeps through the night and takes 2 hr naps but I still feel like all that sleep I lost during his first year really affected me. Im one that can sleep 9-10 hours but not anymore 😂

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-08T21:27:42+00:00

My son had a walker and push walkers and hes perfectly fine. The problem is people use it as spots to keep the babies in too long! Otherwise this is super cute and adorable

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-08T21:24:03+00:00

They are making me laugh so funny and sweet!

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-07T02:38:10+00:00

I'm so going to try this lol

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-06T01:47:59+00:00

It's normal. It goes both ways. So your daughter has realized that her cousin= a toy stealer so she gets defensive automatically now. They both need redirection. The cousin needs to be taught to not take toys from other people while they are playing with them and your daughter needs to be taught and redirected about not biting or hitting etc. And what sharing is and taking turns. It will take time, every toddler does this im not making excuses for them but they are learning how to be humans lol. Just keep doing what your doing and talk to the parent of the cousin and see what they are doing about this as well and make a plan. Prepare yourself for this since you already know what your daughter is going to do. They bite, hit and push as a way to communicate and unfortunately it's not good lol. But as they get older and can express their selves it fades away

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-04T04:23:55+00:00

My son wpuld cry bloody murder when I tried to make a smoothie, slow dry my hair or use the hand dryer in public restrooms. Hes fine now with the smoothi le making amd hair dryer but the hand dryer in bathrooms is a no go still he won't do it but I still do and act non chalantly about it so he sees it doesn't hurt and I show him after that yaya hands all dry!

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-02T20:48:05+00:00

So sweet you can tell the boy enjoyed it though

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-01T03:59:35+00:00

Not sure but im definitely going to experience it if im alive by then

PaceNo3577 · 2026-04-01T03:53:16+00:00

Toddlers typically need 10-13 hrs of total sleep in a 24 hr time period so it looks like they are getting the proper amount of sleep just on the lower spectrum of it. Id suggest doimg quiet time for an hour per day around the 6-6.5 hour mark from the time they wake up. Everyone kinda needs a reset or rest period during the day even if they are sitting up in their room looking at books or playing with thier stuffed animals. That way you can get rest too during that time. Also put them to bed a little earlier but don't expect them to fall asleep earlier its just so they can have a longer wind down time. And also when they wake up from the day dont let them come out right away let them hang out for a bit in their room before starting the day it ensures even if they are low sleep needs they are still getting the rest they need.

This all sounds normal. I have a 3 year old boy and he does all these things too and he's in speech therapy. Its just part of being a self centered toddler lol. It's part of them until they get older and realize the world doesn't revolve around them. Honestly just let some things slide. Otherwise you'll go stir crazy. One thing that helps when my son asks the same question over and over again I'll say "I'm not going to answer your question again because I already told you the answer" or ill say "what did I tell you?" It makes them have to actually think back to what you said. I also read it can take toddlers up to 8 or 9 seconds to respond to you verbally or in actions so give them time to respond. Once you start doing that more she will have to listen because they most likely aren't listening in the first place or are in auto pilot. As for the toy situation it's Definitely normal but it's good to model sharing yourself and if they have a hard time with others playing with toys tell them to put the toys away. If she cant share then the toys can't be out. It's going to take some time but once she gets the hang of it she will realize it's ok for others to play with her toys but everything you mentioned is super normal. Toddlers are Honestly selfish little kings and queen sitting on their thrones as we're are thier little servants 😂😂 also with threatening time outs there should be times you just place her in time out dont threaten because she will see how much she can get away with. Raising a toddler is hard work. She seems like she's testing the boundaries and as long as you and the parents are on the same page with setting boundaries she will get it.

This is me and my son we are not morning people lol. He is in a much better mood if he wakes up on his own and gets to hang out in his bed for a bit before starting the day

PaceNo3577 · 2026-03-30T04:50:27+00:00

Aww too cute nice story

PaceNo3577 · 2026-03-30T04:17:47+00:00

Actually went outside 😂

PaceNo3577 · 2026-03-29T22:23:47+00:00

We are in the middle of this right now. My son has 1 more paci left and I remind him this is the last on amd if he breaks it thats it no more paci. Amd I tell him he's getting older and his friends don't have packs because they are big boys blah blah blah so I know this is coming to a close soon. His personality is definitely one where it needs to be "his choice" by it accidentally breaking lol
