Dear Author, i'd like to see you taking care of little children, for example - mine. I have 3 kids. One, the oldest one does whatever he can to stay up late. He prefers to go to bed after midnight. Some time ago I tried to "fix" his go to bed schedule at about 8pm, it caused him to wake up around 1am. I gave up after two weeks, he was fine, but I was like a zombie.
Another kid prefers going to bed at 8pm and wakes up at 6am. Totally opposite of the first one.
Another one, the hardest case, has no fixed schedule and goes to sleep whenever she wants, and wakes up after 3-6h to fetch something to eat, of course waking her parents. Sometimes she goes back to sleep, but not always.
I'd really enjoy watching how you maintain your routine with them. I think that just one child, except for the middle, will be enough to break your routine. I guarantee that after just few days having alarm clock at 4am you'd experience real hell on earth due to lack of sleep.
