day 4 sleep deprivation

It is the fourth day in this family's new schedule. Day four of getting up at six instead of eight. Two hours less sleep than normal because we have yet to compensate by going to bed two hours earlier. Do the math. Eight hours less sleep than I am used to in four days. No wonder I am so tired. The main culprit is the tv in our bedroom. Nightly routine involves the Daily Show, and sometimes Countdown. Granted that this ritual is more my husband's than mine, I have a hard time just turning over to sleep. I find myself just turning back again to catch the punch lines. I need more sleep than Bryan, but even he had a few more creases under his eyes this morning. Do we take drastic measures and remove the tv? This is not the first year for this so I am assuming we adjusted, but right now in my cappuccino induced wakefullness I can't remember how. I thought this feeling was only reserved for those who had newborns. Sigh. count your blessings... count your blessings... snore.....
