[Dailydrool] So much sadness and Advice please re 4am waking....

[Rebecca Stanton]

There is so much sadness on the DD right now and our hearts go out to all those 
who have lost recently. Drool being sent too for all those who need it. Can 
anyone give us any advice - we have a tiny problem. Morse always slept 
downstairs in the house and all was fine, but since moving he has slept upstairs 
with us, on a duvet by the bed. I love that, but a slight problem has arisen. 
Morse wants his breakfast early, and when I say early I mean early - 2am. Now, I 
suppose he always did want to have breakfast early but when he slept downstairs 
he had to wait for us to get up and come down to him. Now he gets up and 
(loudly) shakes himself thoroughly (this starts every time at around 2am) and 
stares at us expectantly. We have by this time been shaken from our slumber and 
are blinking (disbelievingly) at the clock. When we see that it is only 2am we 
tell him to go back to sleep, which he does, albeit a little grumpily, but he 
then will only wait until around 4.30am at the latest before it all starts 
again. If we try and make him go back to sleep then, he will start to whine 
pitifully which gets louder and louder, so in the end we just give in and give 
him his breakfast. After that he goes straight back to sleep and (most 
annoyingly) sleeps until the afternoon while I, if I am at work, have to get up 
at 6.30am and am a bit bleary eyed for much of the day. What can we do? I  don't 
want him sleeping downstairs - I love hearing his little snores! - so if it 
carries on I will just put up with it - or can any ingenious droolers think of 
any way how we can convince Morse that 7.00am is so much more civillised?
 
Becky (snore), Morse (I need my breakfast) and Pumbaa ATB (I wouldnt have 
dreamed of being so badly behaved)
