To wake or not to wake....

It's almost 8pm. My baby is sleeping and has been since 4pm. For about a week now Paige has not been going to bed until between 12-1am which is not very fun when you're tired. She still sleeps all night, doesn't wake up until 9am mostly, she eats and then goes back to sleep! At first we thought she was staying up later because she had napped later so we would wake her by 6pm at the latest, thinking a good few hours of wakefulness and play would suffice but, it didn't make a blind bit of difference. So now I don't wake her. Maybe she's gotten so tired it's finally catching up with her - totally understandable, we had a few hairy days when she was sleeping very little during the day, but it's funny when she gets to sleep at night she sleeps all the way through. One afternoon I decided to do an experiment and tried putting her in her crib to fall asleep and she screamed for an hour (I was going in to see her to try help calm her frequently) and she eventually fell into a fitful 20min nap and I vowed I wouldn't put her through that again. The longer I have Paige the more I don't care what "experts" say. I've tried getting her on a schedule and all that jazz, I think it makes me stressed though rather than helping. I don't want to make family life anymore stressful than it naturally can be! We'll figure this thing out, Paige is a good baby and I don't think I'm failing as a mum. I hope she wakes up soon though, Ryan has gone out and I want someone to hang out with!
