As a new mom, I quickly learned that sleep deprivation is no joke. In the first few months after my daughter was born, I was lucky to get 3-4 hours of broken sleep per night.
I felt like a zombie during the day - sluggish, irritable, and completely drained of energy.
One night, after my daughter finally fell asleep, I broke down in tears out of sheer fatigue. That's when I knew I had to make sleep a priority, for both my health and my ability to care for my baby.
I started going to bed earlier, even if it meant missing out on some evening TV time. I napped when my daughter napped during the day. And I worked with my pediatrician to gently sleep train my daughter so she could learn to self-soothe and sleep for longer stretches.
Within a week of these changes, I felt like a new person. I had more patience, more energy, and more joy in my days with my daughter.
I realized that prioritizing my own sleep was the best thing I could do for my family.
Now, I make it a non-negotiable part of my daily routine, because I know how much better I function with 7-8 hours of quality sleep under my belt.
