A mum-of-three has set tongues wagging after revealing the times her small children wake each day – saying she never takes their sleeping habits for granted.

Mare Miller shared a video of her three kids, aged two, five and six, coming out from their bedrooms, along with the time they woke up.

The first little one out of bed playfully waves to the camera, as he strolls out of his room at 11.37am. His brother follows not long after at 11.52. And their sleepyhead sister happily gets out bed at 12.12pm.

Mare captioned the video: “Believe me, I will never take for granted the fact that my kids have always been incredible sleepers, because I may be the most well rested mum of three on the planet.

“Having some time for myself in the morning (without having to wake up at 6am to do it) makes me a much better, more patient, and more present mum.”

Mare points out that her kids go to bed between 8.30pm and 9pm during the summer holidays, and at 8am during the school year. 

Her Instagram post was met with thousands of comments, many saying the children are sleeping too much. 

“What about eating breakfast? When do they eat their meals?”

“They are missing a lot of their day.”

“By that time, my son has played two hours of tennis and gone to three classes. My kids aren’t sleeping in, they’re making something of themselves in life.”

“Are they deficient in something? Sleeping more than 12hrs something is up.”

But others said this amount of sleep can be normal for young children.

“I have three boys they have always slept in like this. They’re teens now, advanced educated, athletes, perfect health. Works well for them.”

While other said they simply didn’t believe that the children slept this long.

“My favourite part is the part when you told them to go back in their rooms and come out pretending they just woke up and you just “happened” to catch it on camera.”
