Work at home - do you stay up all night?

I am a wahm with two children under 2 and I find myself too distracted during the day to do much work, but too worn out at night to work. My baby wakes me up at 3-4 am every morning and I go to bed at 8 pm. Basically, I am handling children during that entire time because they never seem to sleep at the same time!
Are there any other work at home moms out there who have found a solution? I´m thinking of just drinking more coffee and pushing on through the night until the baby´s first feeding, but I´m not sure that I will be concious after a few days of that! However, I do need to work and have no idea how to manage.

i have 3 years old baby boy at home and stay with my wife when she doing home work too or work from home...the key is patient with this condition and do what we can do first and step by step but have to regular, so far my wife can manage time, when the baby sleep she always can works or do a business from home 1-3 our a day is enough to start....

well i started selling avon just after my first daughter was born (there are almost 4 years between our 2 girls)and my hubby would watch the girl(s) when i had to get work done...when they started school, i started freelance writing, but even though they are older, holidays can be tough sometimes.
can you hire a student or someone say an hour or 2 a day to watch them so you can get some work done?
