three nights straight, finally

Finally dealt with the rest of those bins from last week [the maybe bin, I guess]. Kept two, rest went to the neighbor’s kid. One less thing before the move.

This week –
– Humidifier night-only Mon-Wed, he was up twice a night scratching
– Switched it to daytime too from Thursday, since a few of you said that helped
– Slept through 3 nights straight by Saturday, first time since the move!
– Legs still tight by 7pm most days, standing all shift does that no matter what
– Lotion on 5 out of 7 nights, zero last week so that’s progress

Next week: push lotion to all 7, hang the blackout curtain thats still in a box by the door.

Not sure the daytime humidifier gets the credit here, OP — when I went from 2 lotion nights a week to 5, that’s when things settled down for us. Which one do you think did more?

same here, cant really tell which one deserves the credit. for us daytime humidifier lined up better with the good nights than lotion did. feels like the [bigger piece] honestly

Switching the humidifier to daytime too was clearly the right call, and that first full stretch of sleep by Saturday is huge. Thanks for writing out the whole week like that, it genuinely helps to see the order you tried things in before committing to the curtain next.

Going from zero to five lotion nights is a big jump, not gradual at all! For us the lotion made more difference than the humidifier timing did.
