Ugh geez.. how long do you have to study still?

Oh one important tip: wife.

I take it you have one? wife + attention (sometimes lol).

Ugh... getting up at 4:30 sounds brutal. If my kids wake me up before 7am, I am already complaining...

Yes, it is and allready three nights in a row my 3 year old is awake with night terror at 1 oclock and 3 oclock.... I am pretty much a zomby now.

Yes, it's hard but I try to mix the right amount of effort into study and right amount of attention. I am working on my 'afstudeer onderzoek' right now so I hope to be finished April 2013 or so..

I heard men usually don't hear their kids crying in the middle of the night. At least, that's what some of my girl friends say about their husbands.

 

[MarcelP]

Well this night I was awake again at 3 AM. Oh man...... The one good thing about night terror is that it should go away from age 4.. So only a few months to go..

@sneaklyfox. It is true that women are more "vulnerable(cant find the proper word)" to high pitched noise wich makes them wake from their sleep when they hear babies cry more easely

 

[MarcelP]

"vulnerable(cant find the proper word)"

You mean Sensitive?

 

[BenVdd]

Yes! thank you I was literally staring at my screen 10 minutes trying to find that word. couldn't even find it in dutch

 

[Schmidt]

I guess Marcel found the Dutch word and google translated it, that is why it starts with a capital S.

 

[MarcelP]

LOL.. No I don't need Google translate for English.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

LOL at least that wouldn't ever go for me.. but then again, one I don't have kids and two I hear nothing without my extra ears... so.. I guess that helps LOL!

I think women are just more naturally tuned in to the needs of their kids. Actually, I don't know if there is any scientific evidence that women are more sensitive to high pitched noises. I think there are more men who sleep more deeply than women. It's probably just as well for the men not to hear babies crying in the middle of the night. The men usually have to go and be the bread winners so they need a good night's rest to function well at the workplace. Although nowadays there are a lot of mothers who are trying to keep careers too.

 

[BenVdd]

There is actual scientific evidence of women being more sensitive to high pitched noises. But what you bring up is indeed another reason. (women sleeping more lightly then man)

 

[SpeedSolve]

You mean Sensitive?

I think perceptible is a better word.

 

[SpeedSolve]

Also, here is your scientific proof. http://www.mcrcad.org/2010-Sax-hearing.pdf

Today a slight improvement of the Ao50 PB!

There was only one Ao12 sub 30 in there. I guess I am not true sub 30 yet

 

[BenVdd]

It's not because you didnt get mutliple ao12 sub 30's that you aren't true sub 30! Hold your head up high! ^^
