What I learned shocked me:







Snappy, tearful, and guilty
Foggy and forgetful (missed meds, lost parts)
Endless doom-scroll “breaks” that don’t help
Partner friction over who’s “more tired”
Wired at night, wiped in the morning
Feeling like you’re failing at everything

Calmer, more patient moments—on purpose
Fewer mistakes, clearer head
Real off-duty windows you both respect
Faster fall-back-asleep after feeds
More connection with your partner and baby
Confidence you can trust—even on 5 hours total
