Yes, I am quite sure of it. I read before that prisoners were often deprived of sleep to make them spill the beans or ensure that they are more compliant.
Running on caffeine
And since moms are real experts at surviving it, perhaps we will make good spies and double agents a la James Bond and his like? 🙂 Yawn….Hand me that cuppa won’t ya? It’s not fair that they look so angelic when they finally crash out but meanwhile, we can’t even remember our names!
As you can tell from this post, I am not only severely sleep deprived but a little deranged by now too!
Sleep deprivation becomes the norm
Every time we get a newborn baby, I suffer from sleep deprivation. Some babies are a little kinder to me than others. But generally, until everyone adjusts, sleep deprivation is the norm in the 1st few months.
Btw, I have noticed that my even numbered children are better sleepers than the odd numbered ones.
Our firstborn, of course, was the guinea pig. He had to endure various methods of getting him to sleep until I finally figured out what to do when he was 3 or 4Â months old. Our third child was terrible! Or so I thought until I had my fifth. Wow! That one made us throw out all our sleep theories and philosophies.
And now…we have #7….. Lord help me!
