Several of my friends have been talking about a recent study that clocked a parental sleep deprivation of six years after having a baby. They talked about how the study makes so much sense because they feel like they are never rested.

My life as a parent is the furthest from A typical as it gets. I will tell you that as long as I can remember I have always sacrificed going to bed early to have time to myself. Mainly to watch missed shows or ones that are far too inappropriate, eat the snacks, maybe all the snacks? Also, I choose night versus morning for multiple reasons. Initially before my son, I chose night versus morning because waking early in winter and fall was miserable. It would be senseless to alternate based on weather. Then when our son was born almost 4 years ago, his medical needs required us to take turns staying awake all night beside him. It was literally a matter of life and death. Doze off for a second and things could turn critical. Then we adjusted to his great improvements and no longer needing us by him awake 24/7. I guess you could say being a parent for over 17 years I have always gone to bed later than need be. I can't fathom ever changing that.
