Naomi, I'm sorry that you haven't been getting much sleep but I can also relate to you. My cats take a nap in the early evening and then while I'm getting ready for bed they decide it's time to play. Sunny is the worst because he's very noisy. He'll run down the hallway chirping and yowling. I've learned to sleep with ear plugs and it does help some. Sunny is also a very early riser and will sometimes chirp in my ear around 5am. Last night he did this at around 1am. Good luck.
