Sleep Problems. What's New?

It seems to be a cycle. She'll sleep through the night for a month or two, then wake up 1-2 times for another 2-3 months. It's incredibly more difficult than it used to be.

Dark circles under the eyes is the new look in this household. Its getting to the point that i put on my Garnier dark eye roller before bed AND when i wake up, and possibly on my way back to bed after putting leah down for the second or third time. By the time 7pm rolls around and leah is in bed, im legitimately done for the evening, and ready for bed! But then, of course i need to socialize and text friends/family, go on facebook for 2 min, go on twitter for 30, and maybe blog -- maybe not --, and read.
I NEED this vital me time! Its imperative and i need a little self indulgence, otherwise... i'll probably lose the little bit of samity im clinging onto for dear life!

So, here's how my night was last night:
11pm- went to bed (prob fell asleep somewhere a little after 1130)
1am- Leah wakes up. I easily rock her back to sleep.
330am- Matt comes home, i hear the shower, go talk to him for a bit and naturally, i was wide awake.
4am- i attempt sleep (without any luck)
530am- (still havent fell back to sleep) Leah wakes up. I rock her.
630am- Leahs still not asleep. I give up. Matt takes over. Shes balling because of course, no one can do it ONLY ME!!! ugh!

Finally after this i fell asleep without any trouble and Matt was able to get her to sleep. Thank God! She slept til 8. Whoopy-effing-DOO! I got a combined total of 5 very broken up hours of sleep! It doesn't sound terrible but when you break it into an hour and a half increments its brutal.

So, who has advice? Anyone? Anyone at all? ....hm. yeah. Thats what i thought.
Thanks for reading anyways.
