When one deals with a mental health disorder such as depression, bipolar, or anxiety, getting the right amount of sleep is SO important. When you have a baby, though, sleep is a sweet, sweet treat that you do not get to taste as often as you’d like. “Sleep when the baby sleeps”, they say, but then when will you get anything done? You’re watching the baby like a hawk when they’re awake and then, when they sleep, you have those piled up, dirty dishes calling your name, laundry needing to be done, dinner begging to be cooked (and believe me, “begging” is the right word, because you’ve barely eaten anything recently, right?) and oh… you want to read a book for leisure? HA, let’s not get ahead of ourselves now, moms or dads. We aren’t superheroes.
So, tell me parents, HOW do you find the time?
