Generally, once I'm fully awake, there's no chance of going back to sleep. So if I get woken up around 5am, I may as well do something fun with the time. It is no easier if I get woken at 10am, but if I have breakfast that late I risk migraines :(
I am becoming quite expert at waking up just enough to nurse the baby and/or go to the loo (that was more when pregnant and SOMEONE danced on my bladder) without triggering the "now I can't go back to sleep" reflex. Or I'm just too tired most of the time, and nursing has it's own built-in soporific. Changing a nappy is less easy to go back to sleep after unless I'm very tired.
