In many cultures around the world children waking up during the night is the norm. Those babies are not cranky during the day. I wonder why in western countries people often say that waking up makes the child cranky (I totally understand it can make parents cranky). Did you have to get up early to bring the child to daycare so that they did not get enough sleep? Did you not sleep in the same room as your child, so you had to get up and walk there, so that they were disturbed before you were there? I am totally not judging, just wondering where the differences come from.
